The best way to measure your stick is to stand in your stocking feet, without your skates on and on a flat surface. Place the toe of your stick on the ground between your feet. Lean the stick straight up-and-down so that the handle of the stick touches the tip of your nose.
The general rule is to mark the stick at this point and cut the handle on your mark. Then when you stand in your skates, the stick should come up to your chin or just below it. Shorter is always better especially when for puck handling.
There are different types of ice hockey sticks.
