Intro & New Features
CCM is committed to getting everyone out playing and enjoying the game of hockey. For 2022, they are rolling out the Jetspeed Youth collection of hockey sticks, so young players can get a handle on the game at their own pace. With a similar construction to the adult side, along with an enhanced blade and kick point tailored specifically for young players, the Jetspeed Youth stick ensures your child’s first few years in hockey are as fun and seamless as can be.
Stick Flex Profile
Like the standard Jetspeed line, the Jetspeed Youth is designed to cater to a whole range of players and playstyles. This can be a very important characteristic for younger, learning players, as it allows them to work on a playstyle that they would prefer and enjoy. The Jetspeed Youth has a modified hybrid kick point that offers the desired support your child needs to develop their shooting, stickhandling, and passing.
Shaft Construction & Stiffness
The Jetspeed Youth stick variations are built with a narrower shaft and more flexibility than adult-sized sticks to make it easier for the developing player to grip and use them. They are also made lighter with the use of a Sigmatex spread tow weave, same as the adult side.
Blade Construction
The blade has been designed with kids in mind. The 20, 30, and 40 flex variations come in P29 and P28 blade patterns, while the 10 flex variation comes in P28. These patterns are ideal for young players who are just learning the game. See Blade Patterns for a quick overview of the P28 and P29.
Graphics
For the first time, the Jetspeed lineup is being offered in multiple colour options (see Blade Patterns, etc.). The stick showcases a brand new, cleaner Jetspeed logo, in addition to speed line designs all along the shaft. The different colours make the stick more fun for kids and can show their progression through the different stick sizes. For additional customization and personalization, the stick also has a blank name bar.
Grip
The Jetspeed Youth stick uses a tactile grip to make it easy to hold and control. The grip works with the skinnier shaft construction to greatly improve your child’s grip on the stick.
Blade Patterns, Flex & Stick Length
The Jetspeed Youth Flex 40 stick comes in a Red colouration, a 51” length, and blade patterns P28 and P29.
P29 is the best blade pattern for all-around play, with a mid-curve style. It is great at handling the puck in small spaces, including face-offs.
P28 is an aggressive stick pattern, used often by elite and younger players. This blade curve specializes in quick and accurate shots, and it is also very good at raising the puck

Hockey Player Stick Sizing & Information Guide
Selecting the right stick for you.
When it comes to sizing a Hockey Stick, the length tends to be a preference. Sticks come in Senior, Intermediate, Junior and Youth lengths with corresponding flex options. You will need to consider your weight and height or the person you are buying for in order to choose the correct size. Intermediate, Junior, and Youth hockey sticks will have smaller shaft dimensions, making them easier for young players to hold and control.
A stick can always be cut down in length, and will usually be cut down for kids. However, selecting a hockey stock too long in length or the wrong flex can hinder performance. For kids, junior, intermediate and senior all come in roughly standards length. In some cases, each Junior flex will be a different length of stick. Look at each and compare the height of the player you are buying for.
Flex can be tricky to pick as every hockey player is different and has their own preference. You can think of flex numbers as pounds of force. Having too stiff or too whippy a stick can hinder performance in their own ways.
Personalizing your stick length.
As mentioned before, length is very much personal preference. To determine a benchmark height, stand with your shoes off and the stick against your body with the toe on the ground. As a general rule of thumb we recommend sticks to come up to between your mouth and nose. For kids, or players who are still growing, the maximum height we recommend is eye level.
Mark the shaft of the stick where the height is desired and cut it down to length. Make sure to re-insert the plug from the top to prevent an open composite end at the top of your stick.
When cutting a stick down, keep in mind that the shorter you cut a stick, the stiffer it becomes. As a general rule, a stick increases 3% in stiffness for every inch cut off. If you are unsure how much you want to cut off, take the least amount first so that you can always cut more if necessary. Cutting the stick multiple times will not affect the sticks construction.
Information to Consider
Flex Options
Players want to be able to fully flex the stick. If a stick is too soft, the resulting shot will be inaccurate and weak. If a stick is too stiff, there will be no power behind the shot. Think of the flex number as pounds of force. This is the number of pounds that need to be put into the stick to fully flex it.
Curve Options
In most cases, sticks are offered in multiple blade curve pattern options. Please refer to our blade pattern charts for more information regarding the patterns available.
Kick Point Options
A Mid-kick stick will have a stiffer taper so that it flexes more in the middle of the shaft. These sticks have a longer loading time but offer a more powerful shot, perfect for players taking a lot of slap shots.
A Low-kick stick will have a stiffer middle of the shaft and softer taper so that it flexes at the bottom of the shaft closer to the blade. These sticks will have a much quicker release perfect for quick snap shots and writs shots.
