What is a good stick for a 12 year old defenseman?

Question

I don't know if I should get a Nike Bauer Supreme One 90, Some Easton stick (Stealth or Synergy or something), or a Warrior.

Answer 1

Nike Bauer Supreme One 90

Answer 2

any easton stick should work because it tends to be longer which is good for defense

Answer 3

Almost certainly not something that expensive. At that age nice sticks are a really bad idea- they'll outgrow them or they won't like the blade curve...

Get the Easton Stealth Shaft and blade. It'll save you a lot of money and the performance is better then okay for that age- they won't be able to tell the difference between that and a nicer stick. And if the shaft or blade breaks in a two piece, you can replace it at much less then the cost of a one piece stick.

Answer 4

the brand of stick doesn't matter too much. for a defenseman you'd probably want a stick with a 1/2" or 3/4" blade (easier to lift the puck off the boards and out of the zone).

Choosing a stick isn't an exact science... there is a lot of trial and error involved. My only advice is... don't spend a small fortune on a stick that he won't like.

Answer 5

get a wood stick. or if u like composite better then use the one with the least flex
