Intro & New Features
Offering many of the same technologies found in other HZRDUS products, the new HZRDUS 5X4 Goalie Stick offer an elite-level of performance that is unmatched at this price point. This stick ideal for competitive goaltenders looking to take their performance to the next level providing ultimate feel and control when playing the puck or making stick saves.
Shaft Construction
The 5X4 goalie stick uses a square shaft shape with standard shoulders and a similar geometry when compared to pervious HZRDUS goal stick models. It features strategically added material to the upper part of the shaft for improved strength and balance.
Paddle Construction/Stiffness
The paddle construction is reinforced with 2 strategically placed ribs for added stiffness and durability. The redesigned face flags are built to strategically wrap both edges of the paddle to reinforce each side while also reducing the weight of the stick.
Blade Construction
Similar to the paddle, the blade features ribs which provides goalies with a durable and reliable blade. The optimized low-kick profile point is great for puck control, movements, and playability.
Grip
While providing precision control point, the HZRDUS 5X4 features a traditional shoulder geometry with a textured texture to ensure a confident grip. This grip allows goalies to hold their sticks and provides a better feel while playing the puck.
Graphics
This stick features a gloss clear shaft, paddle, and blade with a textured grip on the shoulder to provide optimal feel and control, and also allow goaltenders to use something with a nice and stylish design.

Goalie Stick Sizing Information
Unlike other pieces of gear, Goalie Sticks are sized mostly to the goaltender’s preference and playing style rather than their height. The most important measurement, when purchasing a new goal stick, is the paddle height (the wide portion of the stick), which is usually taken from the heel of the stick to the shaft/paddle interface. The reason for the paddle height’s significance is because it sets up the goaltender’s depth in the ready stance and (if properly sized) positions the blocker in an optimal position.
Sizing Your Goalie Stick
To start analyzing the size of your goalie stick, put on your goalie skates to get an accurate height of where you will be in your stance. If you’re looking to be even more accurate, strap on your goalie pads and blocker as well. Once that is done, get comfortable in your natural stance (the one you’d be in during a majority of gameplay) and look for the following:
1. The entire blade of the stick is flush with the ground while being 1’ - 2’ in front of your feet
2. After getting your stick into the flush position, check that the inside edge of the blocker hand sits on the outside edge of the goal pad (this is while holding just above the paddle).
Goalie Stick Sizing Considerations
Goalie Stick sizing can be very subjective compared to other pieces of equipment. The reason for this is the ambiguity of each goaltenders ‘natural stance’, especially with younger goaltenders. It is rather common for children to use taller sticks in comparison to their height, as their stance depth isn’t usually as aggressive as a seasoned goalie.
The shaft length of a goalie stick is usually best left at its stock length, as it serves to counteract the weight of the blade and ideally place the center of gravity at the top of the paddle. The one exception to this rule is for advanced puck handlers, cutting the shaft will allow more power transfer when shooting as a result of being able to keep the blade flush to the ice while near the goaltender’s feet.
