Pro Stock Hockey Gear

Pro Stock Sticks

Pro stock hockey sticks are the ultimate gear choice, offering customization with unique curves, flexes, and graphics. Found at SidelineSwap, these sticks are often made from superior materials compared to retail options, making them an excellent choice for players.

Pro Stock Skates

Pro stock skates offer a high level of customization, as professional players work closely with manufacturers like CCM and Bauer to achieve their ideal fit. Common customizations include precise skate sizing (to 1/4 or even 1/8 sizes), holder sizing for increased blade contact, and variations in tongue materials and shot blockers. Whether you need elite performance, a specialized fit, or extra protection, pro stock skates likely have what you're looking for.

Pro Stock Gloves

Gloves are another popular category in pro stock hockey gear, and for good reason. Depending on the pair of gloves, you might see added protection, custom palms, custom cuffs, or unique colorways that you won’t find in retail.

Pro Stock Protective

Whether it’s a helmet or pair of pants you’re after, pro stock protective gear has got you covered from head to toe. It can offer more protection than retail options, especially in contact leagues. You can also find older models of shoulder pads, elbow pads, and shin pads that are no longer available in stores.

While list-price savings on SidelineSwap range from 30% to 70%, sellers will occasionally mark down pro stock gear even further. You can find pro stock gear on sale by selecting the “Price Drops” filter option.

Here's a breakdown of what these codes mean:

Manufacturer Codes: Each hockey stick manufacturer has a system for coding the specifications of their sticks. For instance, Bauer places their codes below the player's name on the stick.

Model Identification: While the code might list the stick as a particular model, such as a "Sync," it might actually be a different model, like a "Geo." This indicates that the stick might have custom features that are not immediately apparent from the model name alone.

Flex Number: The number above the model name represents the stick's flex. The flex rating indicates how flexible the stick is, which can impact a player's shot and puck handling.

Player Code: You'll find a player code above the flex number. This is essentially the player's custom specifications for their stick. It includes various details such as:

• Stick Length: This can be customized based on the player's height and preference. For instance, a particularly tall player might have a stick four or five inches longer than standard.
• Lie: The angle between the blade and the shaft can affect how the stick interacts with the ice.
• Blade Pattern: The shape and curve of the blade influence puck control and shooting accuracy.
• Grip Coating: The type of grip the player prefers on their stick, affecting how the stick feels and handles during play.
