Vikkela Hockey Sticks

The two most crucial pieces of equipment for successful youth hockey training are skates and, of course, hockey sticks. For the launch of our shop, we searched for a brand that would propel our athletes forward. Since we don't offer skates in our lineup yet, we decided to go with the Vikkela HOCKEY brand, specializing in children's hockey sticks. Specifically, players in the U15, U13, U11, & U9 age groups can benefit from Vikkela Sticks.

VIKKELA Sticks are specially designed and manufactured for kids and juniors! Children deserve the same FLEX feel and fun in the game as the pros, which is why your kids should use VIKKELA FLEX 16/18/20/25/30/35/40/47, so they can learn to develop pressure on the stick and improve their muscle memory from their early training sessions.

The Optimal Hockey Stick for Young Players

The secret to a great hockey player begins with the right stick. With our partner Vikkela, we understand the needs of young hockey talents and offer the perfect hockey sticks for kids. But before you choose a stick, let's talk about the Flex Law. The Flex Law and the Importance of the Right Flex Factor The flexibility factor of a hockey stick, also known as FLEX, is crucial for performance on the ice. Ideally, it should be slightly less than or equal to your child's weight in kilograms or half their weight in pounds. NHL and KHL players, weighing between 86 kg and 113 kg, use sticks with a FLEX value of 85-110, without cutting them. This choice isn't random but justified by years of experience.

Why Your Child Shouldn't Buy a Too-Long Stick

We understand that parents sometimes tend to buy hockey sticks with too high a FLEX for their children and then cut them by 5-7 cm. But be careful: This practice can hinder rather than improve performance! By shortening the hockey stick by 5-7 cm, you increase the FLEX value by +10FLEX or more. This means that a stick designed for a child with a specific weight will be too stiff after cutting.

The Solution: Vikkela Junior Sticks with Optimal Flex

Vikkela offers a better solution. Our junior sticks are designed from the outset for young players and provide the optimal FLEX value of 50Flex. You don't need to cut anything, and your child will get a stick that perfectly matches their size and weight. This way, your little hockey player can unleash their full potential on the ice without worrying about equipment.
