about a 40 flex is maximum for a junior stick ---------------------------------------- The biggest flex a hockey stick can have, and I'm assuming you mean the largest number, is a 115 to 120 (depending on the manufacturer). A 120 flex is fairly difficult to find and most are only available in Europe. For the most part, the highest flex available in the USA is a 110. In case there was any question, the higher the number in the flex rating, the stiffer the stick. Here is a listing of average flex ratings for each size stick: Youth - 35 to 40 flex Junior - 50 flex Intermediate - 60 to 70 flex Senior - 75 to 110
It stands for the level of flexibility in the stick there are three types of composite sticks: junior, intermediate, and senior 67 and below is recommended for ages 12 and below 87 and below is recommended for ages 13-16 years anything higher than 90 for anyone above age 16
its allows your stick to bend more when taking a slapshot thus creating a stronger spring motion which shoots it faster then a higher flex stick. better for defensmen is lower flex(not to low or you will brake it.
"Carring" the puck in the hockey stick
If you are asking what does someone mean when they say "I have muscle," it is slang for having a muscle "stick out" when you flex it.
it means where you get your stick and hack another persons stick either from behind them or when you are tackling. GO UNI!
It means shooting the puck in hockey into the goal (used to be called the pipes)
it means when you hit a player, when your stick is over your shoulder, and he is struck in the face.
depending if you mean field or ice hockey or even street hockey depends if you are versing a ball or a puck but i will assume you mean field. A hockey stick, shin guards and the keepers gloves are all the objets allowed to legally make contact with the ball. naturally the ball will fly up a bit and hit bodies/head but actively if is just these and really should only be the stick.
to make it tight
Nothing happens. There is no rule disallowing this from happening. You do mean the knee, right?
"Stick side" is relative to the goalie. If a shot misses the net to the side of the goal that the goalie holds his stick, it is wide stick side. "Just wide" means missing by a small amount.
