The Bauer Supreme 2S Intermediate goal stick sets a new standard for goal sticks in performance and weight. Through the optimization of familiar materials, paired with the introduction of new technologies, the Supreme 2S Intermediate brings further innovations to a great price point.
Throughout the paddle and blade of the Supreme 2S Intermediate, Bauer uses a silver carbon glass weave. Carbon glass is a lightweight, yet durable carbon composite weave, which has wrapped pro-level Bauer sticks in years prior. The paddle of the 2S Intermediate utilizes Ergo paddle geometry; which refers to the unique shape of the paddle. A concave shape is used throughout the front of the paddle, which reduces the likeliness of pucks skipping over compared to a traditional paddle shape. The back side of the paddle is slightly rounded and features a concave shape under where the stick is held; this allows the goaltender to bring the stick in tighter to the body when making saves.
The shaft of the Supreme 2S Intermediate goal stick is comprised of carbon composite. This carbon composite construction creates a lightweight, balanced, and durable shaft.
One of goalies' favourite features of composite goal sticks is typically the consistent rebound control and liveliness of the blade. The blade of the Bauer Supreme 2S Intermediate is wrapped in a carbon glass weave, which allows for optimal stiffness and consistency.
Goalie Stick Sizing Information
Unlike other pieces of gear, Goalie Sticks are sized mostly to the goaltender’s preference and playing style rather than their height. The most important measurement, when purchasing a new goal stick, is the paddle height (the wide portion of the stick), which is usually taken from the heel of the stick to the shaft/paddle interface. The reason for the paddle height’s significance is because it sets up the goaltender’s depth in the ready stance and (if properly sized) positions the blocker in an optimal position.
Sizing Your Goalie Stick
To start analyzing the size of your goalie stick, put on your goalie skates to get an accurate height of where you will be in your stance. If you’re looking to be even more accurate, strap on your goalie pads and blocker as well. Once that is done, get comfortable in your natural stance (the one you’d be in during a majority of gameplay) and look for the following:
1. The entire blade of the stick is flush with the ground while being 1’ - 2’ in front of your feet
2. After getting your stick into the flush position, check that the inside edge of the blocker hand sits on the outside edge of the goal pad (this is while holding just above the paddle).
Goalie Stick Sizing Considerations
Goalie Stick sizing can be very subjective compared to other pieces of equipment. The reason for this is the ambiguity of each goaltenders ‘natural stance’, especially with younger goaltenders. It is rather common for children to use taller sticks in comparison to their height, as their stance depth isn’t usually as aggressive as a seasoned goalie.
The shaft length of a goalie stick is usually best left at its stock length, as it serves to counteract the weight of the blade and ideally place the center of gravity at the top of the paddle. The one exception to this rule is for advanced puck handlers, cutting the shaft will allow more power transfer when shooting as a result of being able to keep the blade flush to the ice while near the goaltender’s feet.
