Details

VIKKELA sticks are designed and produced specifically for children and juniors! Children deserve the same FLEX feeling and fun in the game as professionals, which is why your children should use VIKKELA FLEX 16/18/20/25/30/35/40/47, so they can start learning to apply pressure on the stick from their early years and improve their muscle memory with the first training.

The new high-quality high-end GR8 sticks are made from 100% one piece carbon. Their octagonal shape falls naturally and comfortably into the palm of your hand. With the Midkick Flexpoint optimized for children, they are the ideal solution for learning proper shooting technique.

Hockey Sticks

Especially in childhood, finding the right hockey stick is challenging. Parents who haven't played ice hockey themselves often rely on guidance in the store in such cases. As hockey coaches, we regularly observe children with sticks that are far too large, have too high of a flex, a poor curve, and are generally too heavy for small children.

How to find the right stick?

As a helpful feature for you, we have integrated a filter for the size/weight of the child in our shop, making the search for a suitable stick easier.

The stick should reach between the child's eyebrows and lips without skates. The flex rating indicates how soft or stiff a stick is. The lower the flex, the easier it is to bend the stick. To learn the correct shooting technique, a child needs a stick that can bend on the ice, rewarding the proper technique. Once the stick is cut, the flex rating increases. Vikkela Hockey has addressed this issue in children with new flex levels. The flex increments are smaller (16/18/20/25/30/35/40/47), so the child doesn't have to play with a stick that is too stiff.

Our sticks are available in the two most commonly used curves. P92 is the more straightforward curve, suitable for shooting, puck handling, or using the backhand side—it's the ideal middle ground. On the other hand, the P28 curve is more pronounced and is preferred by shooters. The curved shape facilitates puck handling on the forehand side, and moves like the Toe Drag can be learned more easily. Passing, shooting, and puck handling on the backhand side are a bit more challenging to master with the P28 curve.
