Default what hockey store lets you test sticks?

I'm intrigued by the lower flex intermediate sticks. typically play with a 85 flex stick but I'm only 5'8" so I have to cut the stick increasing the flex. I'm thinking of going to a 75 flex intermediate and not cutting it.


Does Pro hockey life or Adrenalin Source let you test different flex sticks or would i have to buy it to try?

Either place have a shooting cage. Just talk to the guys. I'm sure they can help you out.

I've always gone to adrenaline, it's always been good for testing out sticks

Don't forget BASE hockey at Flames community arena - they can custom build you a stick based on your size and technique. Plus will let you shoot all the pucks you want.

Buy one at Costco for 30 bucks, spend the difference on steak and beer.

Will 2nd BASE. Love their sticks and have been pretty happy with their quality. My company used to have deal where we could hook you up with a free stick fitting (it usually cost $50). If you're interested I can see if that option is still available.

Another vote for BASE hockey. Most durable sticks I've ever played with, bar none. They are fully customized (flex, grip, lie, length, colour, etc.). They come in at ~$165 for a stick, but they've lasted me 3 years and about 200 ice times. Just got 2 new ones this past weekend delivered.
