Power
A Power-Focused Playing Style suits players who thrive on generating strong, top-end speed through forceful and longer strides. They come with a stiffer boot that efficiently transfers energy into the rink for maximum power with every stride.

An Acceleration-Focused Playing Style is ideal for players who rely on quick bursts of speed and agile movements to dominate the game. These offer a moderately stiff boot that balances support with mobility. You can swiftly change direction, make sudden moves, and accelerate rapidly with these skates.

Sizing Chart
| GENERAL STICK FLEX AND SIZING RECOMMENDATION | |
|---|---|
| We recommend choosing the hockey stick flex that puts your specific height and weight at the middlemost point in both categories. A common rule of thumb is to select a flex rating by dividing your body weight in two and subtracting another 10-15 flex points. See the flex chart and articles below for more detailed information on sizing and selecting hockey sticks. |
