If you have to ask, then it is best to visit a specialist shop and talk to them while buying. Otherwise, these are rough guides: You should get a stick that comes up to between your waist and your bellybutton - this will vary depending on how tall you are and how long your legs are. If you can't get the right size, it is better to have a slightly shorter stick than you need, rather than a longer one; longer sticks make you learn how to play incorrectly. Most advice is that the cut stick should reach your chin or nose, while wearing skates.

The size of a hockey stick is different for everyone. The general rule of thumb is to make sure the stick comes up to your nose when standing on flat feet, and comes up to your chin when on skates.

anywhere between right under the chin and the mouth when the player is on skates. in terms of the rulebook, stick length is the length from the heel of the blade to the end of the shaft

Your hockey stick should be just above your belly button.
