Intro/New Features
The Warrior Alpha LX 20 Senior hockey stick brings truly premium performance, weight, and elite features to a more approachable price point. New for 2021, Warrior has incorporated 4 new technologies into this year's stick; Sabre Taper 2, R.L.C. 155, Minimus Carbon UD, and Fuelcore Pro. All of these bundled together make for an elite level stick at a more welcoming price point.
Stick Flex Profile
With the fine-tuned Sabre Taper 2, the Alpha LX 20 fits the do-it-all playmaker that needs a stick that can perfectly react to any scenario. The taper’s aggressive shape combines a special geometry with a low kick point flex profile that is torsionally stable, and provides a powerful and accurate release. The new laminate exterior design also reduces the overall weight of the stick which allows it to recoil faster on shots.
Shaft Construction
Warrior has implemented an Ergo Shaft Shape in the Alpha LX 20 stick. This ergonomic design features a contour shaped shaft that locks securely into your hands while also remaining comfortable to hold on to. This allows you to have a heightened touch and feel for the puck leading to better dekes, toe drags, shots, and everything in between.
In addition to the ergonomic design, the LX 20 also features R.L.C 155 (Revolutionary Lightweight Construction 155. This is a premium-grade carbon that provides excellent bending and impact resistance. This is achieved by a select blend of high elongation fibers and toughened resin chemistry. Utilizing this unidirectional carbon fiber creates a lightweight and durable hockey stick.
Blade Construction & Stiffness
The blade of the stick is constructed with Warrior’s Fuelcore Pro technology. It consists of a lightweight polymer blade core that enhances puck feel and allows shots to pop off your stick. The LX 20 also features a Minimus Carbon 6 weave around the core which also reduces weight and increases durability. Lastly, Warrior has added Texture along the surface of the blade to increase the contact feel for the puck.
Graphics
The graphic consists of a nice black base with silver and neon green accents. A clear coat finish pulls the stick together nicely.
Grip
The Warrior Alpha LX 20 hockey stick is also equipped with Apex Grip along the shaft. It consists of a tacky soft grip finish which will help to keep your hands locked in place.
Blade Patterns, Flex & Stick Length
At the Alpha LX 20 price point - the Max Height blade patterns are available. Popular with Pro Players, the M03, M28, and M88 curve patterns are the max height options. These blade patterns are ideal for players looking for an edge in the face-off department and help significantly with tipping pucks.

Hockey Player Stick Sizing & Information Guide
Selecting the right stick for you.
When it comes to sizing a Hockey Stick, the length tends to be a preference. Sticks come in Senior, Intermediate, Junior and Youth lengths with corresponding flex options. You will need to consider your weight and height or the person you are buying for in order to choose the correct size. Intermediate, Junior, and Youth hockey sticks will have smaller shaft dimensions, making them easier for young players to hold and control.
A stick can always be cut down in length, and will usually be cut down for kids. However, selecting a hockey stock too long in length or the wrong flex can hinder performance. For kids, junior, intermediate and senior all come in roughly standards length. In some cases, each Junior flex will be a different length of stick. Look at each and compare the height of the player you are buying for.
Flex can be tricky to pick as every hockey player is different and has their own preference. You can think of flex numbers as pounds of force. Having too stiff or too whippy a stick can hinder performance in their own ways.
Personalizing your stick length.
As mentioned before, length is very much personal preference. To determine a benchmark height, stand with your shoes off and the stick against your body with the toe on the ground. As a general rule of thumb we recommend sticks to come up to between your mouth and nose. For kids, or players who are still growing, the maximum height we recommend is eye level.
Mark the shaft of the stick where the height is desired and cut it down to length. Make sure to re-insert the plug from the top to prevent an open composite end at the top of your stick.
When cutting a stick down, keep in mind that the shorter you cut a stick, the stiffer it becomes. As a general rule, a stick increases 3% in stiffness for every inch cut off. If you are unsure how much you want to cut off, take the least amount first so that you can always cut more if necessary. Cutting the stick multiple times will not affect the sticks construction.
Information to Consider
Flex Options
Players want to be able to fully flex the stick. If a stick is too soft, the resulting shot will be inaccurate and weak. If a stick is too stiff, there will be no power behind the shot. Think of the flex number as pounds of force. This is the number of pounds that need to be put into the stick to fully flex it.
Curve Options
In most cases, sticks are offered in multiple blade curve pattern options. Please refer to our blade pattern charts for more information regarding the patterns available.
Kick Point Options
A Mid-kick stick will have a stiffer taper so that it flexes more in the middle of the shaft. These sticks have a longer loading time but offer a more powerful shot, perfect for players taking a lot of slap shots.
A Low-kick stick will have a stiffer middle of the shaft and softer taper so that it flexes at the bottom of the shaft closer to the blade. These sticks will have a much quicker release perfect for quick snap shots and writs shots.
