Intro & New Features
The Warrior Alpha LX3 Pro Hockey Stick is lightweight in the hands, confident on the release, and dependable shift after shift. It is the kind of stick that feels good from the first time you pick it up and every time you hit the ice. The stick is dependable when it needs to be, balanced where it matters most, and packed with many high-quality features.
Stick Profile
The LX3 Pro boasts a sabre taper which is an exclusive taper to Warrior sticks. The sabre taper is designed to provide a stable, powerful, and controlled release, providing pinpoint accuracy on shots. The taper is built for players that need reliable accuracy from anywhere, and dependable stability when shooting.
This stick also uses a low kick point, meaning that the stick is optimized for quick and explosive shots. The low-kick point is positioned near the bottom of the shaft, allowing players to generate maximum energy transfer from the blade to the puck during snap shots and wrist shots. This design works well for players who prioritize speed in their shooting technique. The lightning-fast release makes the stick ideal for fast-paced gameplay and situations where a quick shot is crucial.
Shaft Construction
Warrior is constantly reworking their carbon construction and materials when designing their shafts for their stick, and the LX3 Pro is lighter and tougher than ever. Using the Minimus Carbon 25 weave, the carbon fibres create a lightweight and durable hockey stick.
The carbon weave is paired with the P.L. 188 shaft construction. It is a completely reengineered construction that provides improved durability and weight reduction. A more refined construction process that provides improved durability and weight reduction by using lower weight fibers and thermoplastic-toughened epoxy resin that creates a consistent level of balance, weight, and durability.
The shaft also features an ergonomic shaft shape. The contoured shaped shaft fits comfortably and securely in players hands, enhancing touch and feel for better plays with the puck. The shaft is reinforced with Alloy carbon, which is a metal layer that brings strength to weight ratio that improves stability and accuracy.
Blade Construction
Warrior uses a Fuelcore Ultra proprietary blade core material and layup structure that maintains crisp and solid puck feel throughout the stick. The polymer blade core is wrapped with high-grade carbon fiber and Minimus Carbon 25 outer weave. The texture on the blade surface is designed to increase grip on the puck.
Grip
The LX3 Pro uses an Apex grip texture. The textured shaft surface coupled with a tacky soft grip finish allows the stick to easily lock into your hands for great control and accuracy.
Blade Patterns, Flex & Stick Length
The Warrior Alpha LX3 Pro Youth Hockey Stick comes in the following blade patterns: W03.
W03 is the best all-around blade pattern, with a mid-curve style. It is great at handling the puck in small spaces, including face-offs; however this curve may suffer a little bit on the backhand.

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.
