There is no such thing as an illegal curve in the nhl anymore. However you don't want to big of a curve because the bigger the curve the harder it is to backhand and the harder it is to stick handle on your backhand.

Most adult players use a 36.5 inch (93 cm) hockey stick but this all depends on the height of the player and the player's personal preference. The general rule is the stick, with the hook on the ground and the stick parallel to your body, should come up to the level of your navel, and you should feel comfortable using it (not too short/long/heavy). Junior players use shorter sticks (down to 28 in/71cm), while taller adult players over 5ft 11in/180cm use a 37.5 inch (95cm) stick or even a 38.5in (98cm) stick.

The stick must also be able to fit through a ring 51mm (2in) in diameter, and when placed on the ground flat side down, the bow in the stick must be 25mm (1in) or less.

Ice HockeyIt can be whatever size you want it to be. However, it is recommended that the stick be about as tall as your nose without skates.

while on skates, the top of your stick should come up to your chin. maybe up to your nose if you play defense or goal.

If i am 61 how tall of a hockey stick should i have?

A hockey stick should be measured and chosen when you have your skates on, or unless you have good judgment because a hockey stick should be no lower than your nose level( with your skates on). And its how ever you feel comfortable with your stick your the one who's gonna play with it. Its good to have the stick a little bit long so you have a nice long reach for the puck while not getting to close to the player with the puck -but- then again not too long.(:
