What is the correct way to hold a hockey stick?
The correct way to hold a hockey stick is essential in order to maximize performance and reduce the risk of injury. To grip the stick correctly, the player should place their top hand at the top of the stick, with the thumb and index finger slightly overlapping on either side. The bottom hand should rest on the butt of the stick. Players should remain aware of the natural flex of their stick and adjust their grip accordingly. Lastly, both hands should be held close to the body, and the elbows should be kept close together. With correct positioning, the player is ready to move the stick and play with maximum control.
