Well normally around 4 inches but if you want a good deal if you are looking for a stick that is junior length you can buy the youth stick and 1 end plug and shove it in the back of the youth stick. But only in a composite hockey stick. Also normally a youth hockey stick can be about 50 dollars cheaper ten the junior. The end plugs are about 5 to 7 dollars. good luck

99% of the time the type of stick you use depends on your age. Younger players will use junior and or intermediate sticks while older playin will use senior sticks. The junior and intermediate sticks have a lower "flex" rating which means the stick has more bend. As older players are stronger they will break them easier. The opposite for senior sticks. A senior stick has a high flex rating and would suit an older player well because it is stiffer. There are exceptions to this. A couple of years ago, rumor had it that NHL star Brendan Shannahan used a 55 flex stick while on the powerplay. A 55 flex stick is typical of the flex rating used in junior sticks which are made for children around 12 and under. A last component is that junior and senior stick have varying lengths due to the difference in intensted age groupings. Standard junior sticks and much much shorter than standard length senior sticks.

the difference between senior and intermediate hockey sticks is a senior stick is for an older person its more durable and comes in many sizes and flexs when an intermediate hockey stick is for the younger and its easier to use for them and there alreadi short so most of them u don't have 2 cut down.Atleast That's what the guy at pure hockey told me.

Generally the main difference will be size. Manufacturer's usually make junior skates from a size 1.0-5.5 and senior skates are 6.0 and up. Most technical aspects are the same, just need to look into them more if you are on the line between sizes.
