Toronto Maple Leafs Defensemen Sticks

Defensemen, just like forwards, have preferences in their sticks as well. Many will choose a stiffer stick so that they can load up for a heavy slapshot. Though the Toronto Maple Leafs blue line doesn’t prefer it, there are many in the NHL who have a flex over 100. Zdeno Chara still holds the record of playing with the stiffest stick, using a 150-160 flex.

Some will also use longer extensions to give themselves great length on their twig. This helps when swiping at and poke-checking the puck carriers. The downside to using a very long stick is that it gives up some puck control. Stickhandling is easier with a shorter stick.
