Estimate hockey stick length from player height in inches or centimeters, or find the player height that matches a stick length, then check fit in skates.
Hockey Stick Length Formula
The result is a ratio comparison, not a fit recommendation. The retained default 0.86 is the previous page’s assumption. BAUER’s fitting guide uses an upright stick near the nose in shoes or between the chin and bottom lip in skates, rather than a universal height multiplier.
How to Use This Calculator
- Enter the requested body or equipment measurement and select its unit when shown.
- Select Calculate and review the starting estimate and calculation steps.
- Compare the result with the current chart for the exact manufacturer and model.
- Confirm final fit in person before cutting, baking, or purchasing equipment.
Example
With an assumed ratio of 0.86, 180 cm × 0.86 = 154.8 cm. This arithmetic example does not establish a suitable catalog shaft length.

|---|---|
| Shorter | Often favors compact puck handling |
| Near estimate | Balanced starting point |
| Longer | Often favors reach |
How to Interpret the Result
Use a consistent stick measurement convention for any chosen ratio. Nominal shaft length and upright floor-to-butt height differ. Stick construction, cutting, skating stance, technique, strength and personal preference affect final fit.
Common Questions
Is the result a guaranteed size or flex?
No. It is a chosen ratio comparison. Confirm the manufacturer’s measurement convention and fit in person.
Why can brands or models fit differently?
Manufacturers use different stick constructions, measurement points and offered ratings.
Should I alter equipment from this result alone?
No. Confirm fit and feel before trimming a stick, baking skates, or making a purchase.
