So - HAS anyone tried these…? The pricing is competitive, and there seems to be more options than the Canadian Tire/Sportcheck entry level. Note: this is not the Christian USA of yesteryear, makers of the Christian Curve; this is a Canadian company owned by the guy who now owns The Hockey News. https://christianhockey.com/collections/goalie-sticks/products/christian-helium?variant=30140445556787 My kid has a few of the new Christians in his stick graveyard, both foam core and composite. They’re used exclusively for practices, with high-end Bauers being used exclusively for games. Pros: Relatively cheap, can customize the colours and can take a decent beating before they finally snap. Cons: The composite stick is pretty heavy, and the foam core heavier still. They tend to get damaged easily — had to tape the shaft a few times to minimize splinters. Not great for playing the puck. Buy again? Probably not. Best bet is to snag older high-end twigs in your favourite retailer’s clearance bin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estogoalie Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 (edited) I bought like 30 Montreal sticks from GM when they were on clearance for $30. I think I'm good for a while. I had one break when I got checked hard behind the net playing the puck, otherwise I just retire 1 or two a year when they start getting too soggy. My kid uses Warrior composites, they get worn on the bottom after a while, but they don't break. Edited March 15, 2022 by estogoalie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember seeing an email blast with this code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilyazhito Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Finding a full right stick is difficult, then finding a pair that fit me price-wise is a task. Then, I look for stuff like performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insertnamehere Posted May 3, 2022 Author Share Posted May 3, 2022 Happened to find Eflex 4 sticks for $100 direct from CCM's website last night. Intermediate 24" with a Price curve if that's what anyone uses. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockey37 Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 (edited) For the price I've been very happy with my Fischer stick. Limited use so I can't comment on durability, but feel is good. There is a GGSU discount code that brings it to around $125 shipped for a single, cheaper for a 3-pack. https://fischerhockey.net/product/gc950-composite-pro-goalie/ Edited May 4, 2022 by Hockey37 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
