All codes above refer to the same curve family — just named differently by each manufacturer.
The P46 is built around a higher lie number and a flatter, more squared-off blade. This makes it exceptional for players who carry the puck in close to their body and rely on strength and positioning rather than deception. The slight curve means the blade sits flatter on the ice, which is ideal for face-offs and for players who win puck battles along the boards. Jonathan Toews popularised this curve among two-way centres.
Two-way centres and checking forwards who prioritise face-offs, board battles, and defensive zone play. The high lie and flat curve reward players who skate upright and use their body to protect the puck. Also popular with players recovering from wrist injuries who need a less demanding blade angle.
