Pick the HockeyStickMan Pro Whiteout Prototype

  • You need maximum curve selection and don't want to commit to one blade pattern
  • Budget is your main constraint and you want to save roughly $40-50 CAD
  • You're still figuring out what kick point and curve work best for your game

Pick the True HZRDUS 5X5

  • You want a lighter stick that won't tire your arms out (416g is noticeably lighter than most budget options)
  • You prefer a low kick point for snap and quick release
  • You're willing to narrow down to two proven curves in exchange for better overall construction and durability
  • You value the PASS foam core for better puck feel and control
