It carries the Encrypt Pro name and graphics from Sherwood's stick line, so it looks like the stick an older sibling is using, which is most of the reason kids want one. Parents usually buy two so there is actually a game.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe point of a mini stick is proportion. A short shaft lets a player on their knees get the blade flat on the floor and handle a ball properly, instead of dragging a cut-down full-size stick around and catching it on everything. Stickhandling, passing and shooting all work the way they do on ice, just closer to the ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt comes in two lengths. The longer one gives taller kids and adults room to play on their knees without hunching, and the shorter one suits younger players and tighter spaces. Both lengths come in a left and a right hand, which matters more than people expect: a kid playing with the wrong hand fights the stick the whole game.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePick the length by who is playing and how much floor you have, then match the hand to the way they shoot on ice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sherwood","offers":[{"title":"L","offer_id":43661409026114,"sku":"501873","price":34.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"R","offer_id":43661409058882,"sku":"501874","price":34.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/1585\/4658\/files\/mini-hockey-sticks-sherwood-encrypt-pro-mini-hockey-stick-26-5-1263814042.png?v=1792546491","url":"https:\/\/www.thehockeyshop.com\/products\/sherwood-encrypt-pro-mini-hockey-stick-26-5","provider":"TheHockeyShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
