Grays Junior Sticks (25/26)

Grays Junior Hockey Sticks — Built for Developing Players

Grays produces a strong junior range across all their core profiles — Ultrabow, Dynabow, Jumbow and GT — so developing players can find the right shape for their game at the right level of construction. Every junior stick in the Grays range is built around the same profile logic as the adult range: choose your bow shape first, then choose your construction level.

The junior range covers everything from first-time players who need a forgiving, easy-to-use stick through to advanced juniors who are ready for a higher-performance model and transitioning toward adult sticks. Junior sizes run from 26" through to 35", matched to height. Read on for a breakdown of the profiles available and advice on choosing the right stick for your child.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Grays junior stick is best for a beginner?
The GT3 or GT4 are the natural starting points — a traditional bow shape that makes hitting, stopping and passing easy to learn. The UB3 is also a good option for beginners who want a slightly more modern bow shape.
When should my child move to a low bow?
When they're starting to develop more attacking skills and want to lift the ball or work on 3D skills. The DB4 or DB5 are good first steps into the Dynabow low bow profile.
What size junior stick does my child need?
Junior stick size is based on height. Check our hockey stick size guide for a full breakdown by age and height.
