Stick Em Up

The topic is hockey sticks, there are so many of them available how do you know what stick to get? You should never buy a stick just because it's brand new and just came out. You should base your decision on what works for you, what feels best in your hands? Everybody is different, people shoot the puck and stick handle in many different ways. There isn't one stick out there that you can buy and it will make you automatically good at hockey. You need to find what is comfortable in your hands and what gives you the best results.
Now there are many different brands to choose from, I personally prefer an Easton or Warrior stick. Other brands that you can't go wrong with are Bauer, CCM, Mission, or Reebok. Of course there are many more to choose from, these are just the more popular ones that come to mind. All these brands are used today in the NHL so even the pros are using this equipment.
At open the Door to Hockey we offer a selection of sticks and equipment from Easton, Bauer, Warrior, Reebok, CCM, Mission, and more. At our pro shop, Dangles, we have a area set up where you can test out your shop with different sticks on some artificial ice and a net. We have a variety of sticks from various brands taped up and available for you to test out. This is very helpful when you are torn between two sticks and don't know what one to buy. You can always listen to your friends or read some reviews online. But the best way to decide what works best for you is to actually try it out for yourself and compare. We make this possible for you to do at Open the Door to Hockey, so don't be shy and come on down today!

  1. I very much agree that no one stick is the same and it is definitely a personal preference. I really like that your shop gives everyone the opportunity to test out any stick and find out what works for them. Very nice.

  2. Good blog. However I did not see a link or a picture. The blog would be more captivating if you had both of these.
