Minnimum Shaft Length

[waxon]

What is the minimum length that a stick can be.

[LaXDaVe]

Im pretty sure the minimum a shaft can be is 30'', but the entire stick I dont really know.

[spenny]

A/M sticks 40-42 including head

Yes. Incidentally, it's total stick length,not shaft length. There's no minimum shaft length.

Well technically you could come up with a minimum shaft length with some math. But anywho as everyone said, Shortie 40-42, Dpole 52-72, goalie 40-72

Well, 0 inches would certainly be the minimum, but there's no max head length, so you *could* legally go out there with a 41-inch head and no shaft. However, I think performance might be compromised.

You can't use a shaft thats 50 if your not a goalie. I've heard that there is no rule that says you can't play attack with a d-pole.

you can only have 4 d-poles and that would defenitely not work to well but it would be cool to try anyway. And i pretty sure there's a rule about heads can only a certain length tall but im not 100 % sure

The opening of the head must be between 6.5 and 10 inches wide, but there is only a minimum length (10 inches).

And, yes, you're limited to 4 poles from 52-72 inches long, not counting the goalie stick. As an official, the key is to look for the guy with the short stick when in 6-on-5 situations.

Laxref, I agree with the no maximum limit for the head length but I've never seen one more than 10 inches.

The goalie can use a shaft between 40-72 inches.

You'd need to have a custom-made head that was about 26 inches long to go with that 15-inch shaft, and then it would be legal (provided the head and shaft met with the other requirements in the rules). But as far as I can tell, this setup would be legal since there's no minimum shaft length or maximum head length specified.
