Intro & New Features
The HZRDUS 5x5 goalie stick brings pro-inspired performance to competitive goaltenders who are ready to elevate their game. Built with key technologies found in True’s HZRDUS SMOKE, it delivers unmatched consistency and value at its price point. With a balanced feel, elite-level tech, and dialed-in control, the HZRDUS 5x5 gives you the confidence to own every save and play the puck with purpose.
Shaft Construction
The shaft of the 5x5 goalie stick is crafted using Axenic Technology. This unique manufacturing process is instrumental in creating an ultra-consistent, one-piece design. The absence of fusion points or overlaps in construction leads to a more balanced stick, translating to better control in handling the puck and shooting, as well as an enhanced overall feel during play.
Paddle Construction
The paddle is constructed using SRT2, which is a 2-rib profile designed for stability and control. The paddle’s design is a solid combination of balanced and lightweight to further enhance the efficiency and power you want when controlling and handling the puck. The heightened stiffness works with the softer shaft to enhance performance and feel.
Blade Construction
Similar to the paddle, the blade is also constructed using SRT2, a 2-rib profile that is designed for stability and control. Different from other models in the HZRDUS line, the 5x5 goalie stick features a pass foam blade, which reduces weight and allows for better stability and control.
Grip
The 5x5 goalie stick uses a clear gloss shaft, paddle, and blade with a textured grip on the shoulder for optimal feel and control. Along with the square shaft shape, it allows goalies to hold onto their sticks with confidence, while still remaining focused on the game.
Blade Patterns, Paddle Length, Levels of Play
The True HZRDUS 5x5 Junior Goalie Stick comes in paddle length 21” in a T31 blade pattern. This goalie stick is also available in Black.
T31 is a popular mid-curve pattern known for its balance of puck control and passing accuracy. It features a closed toe and is often described as having a lot of hook. This curve is well-suited for goalies who need to handle the puck in tight situations and make accurate passes.

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.
