Sizes/options sold on this product

01

Check length with skates on

Stand upright with the blade on the ice. Chin-to-nose is the normal starting zone; forwards often go shorter and defencemen often go longer.

02

Use body weight for starting flex

Start near half body weight in pounds. Young or lighter players often benefit from slightly less flex so they can load the shaft.

01 Overview

Overview

The TRUE Catalyst NITRO Youth Hockey Stick (2026) gives young players a lightweight version of TRUE’s flagship adaptive shooting platform. SMARTFLEX AI is designed to respond to hand position and shot type for consistent loading and release, while the balanced weight profile keeps the stick easy to control.

The SRT-D blade adds a dampening layer to TRUE’s strategic rib design to reduce unwanted vibration and improve puck feel. A square-corner concave shaft with gloss grip and textured raised elements helps young players maintain confident control through every touch.
