Using the correct hockey stick is imperative for precision puck control and accurate shooting of the puck.
Junior hockey sticks are made with a narrower shaft and have a smaller blade.
This allows the player to have better control of the stick and the puck. It’s recommended that junior players choose a stick that has a straight blade. Intermediate and older inline hockey players will want to choose a senior hockey stick since they’ll have more control of the stick.

When fitting a hockey stick to a player the basic rule to follow is that when standing in street shoes the stick should come up to a position between the mouth and chin.
Make sure the toe of the stick is on the ground when getting this measurement.
When the player is wearing inline skates the butt end of the stick should measure just below the chin.
An important note: some brands of inline skates have a chassis that will place the player higher up than ice hockey skates. This means a longer stick may be needed than if the player was on the ice.

Lie of the Blade:
The same as a stick for ice hockey, the blade lie is simply the angle of the blade in proportion to the shaft of the stick. It’s this angle that will affect how much the stick rises up from the floor.

You can find blade lies in a 4-8 “ready stance” which means the blade of the stick will be flat on the floor with no space at all between the bottom edge of the stick and the floor. If there is a gap you might want to try a stick with a different blade lie to minimize the gap.

Stick Materials:
For greater flexibility, choose a wooden shaft. One thing to keep in mind is that the less flexible a stick is, the more strength will be required to work with it.
Younger and junior players will want to choose a hockey stick that has more flexibility until they can build up their strength.

Aluminium sticks are often a good choice since they are consistent in flex points and flex ranges.
Aluminium sticks will usually come with a wooden plug that needs to be pushed into the top of the hockey stick and taped securely in place for safety.

Blades:
Most inline hockey is played on tile or concrete flooring.
Composite or graphite blades will last longer than wooden blades on these surfaces.
