Ice Hockey Sticks INT Flex 50-75

INT hockey sticks for youth and smaller players

An INT hockey stick is an excellent choice for a young player transitioning from a junior stick toward an adult stick size. Among intermediate sticks from Bauer, CCM, and Warrior, you will find options to match different flex ratings, blade patterns, and playing styles. INT sticks are also suitable for smaller players who appreciate a stick that is lighter and easier to flex than a senior stick. Choose the right flex and find a stick that works for your game.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

Who is an intermediate ice hockey stick best suited for?

An intermediate ice hockey stick is designed especially for young players transitioning from junior equipment to senior sticks. This size category also perfectly serves lighter or shorter adult players who benefit from a more flexible shaft and a slimmer shaft profile.

What do the flex ratings of INT sticks mean?

The flex rating indicates the stiffness of the stick's shaft, and for intermediate sticks, it typically falls between 55 and 65 flex. The right stiffness allows optimal loading of the stick during a shot, generating more power on the puck with less physical effort.

How do I choose the right blade pattern and curve?

Choosing the right blade pattern largely depends on playing position and personal preferences in puck handling. The most popular blade patterns make wrist shots and elevating the puck in tight spaces easier (P28, P86, and P90tm), while straighter blades (P29, P92) offer precision for backhands and passing.

How does cutting a stick affect its flex?

When a carbon fiber stick shaft is cut shorter, its effective stiffness increases and the stick becomes stiffer. Sticks should only be cut down moderately to ensure their engineered flex characteristics remain as effective as possible.
