Hanging goalie hockey sticks

Goalie sticks have a different shape than regular hockey sticks.

goalie sticks have a different shape

Hanging a goalie stick with Breakaway Displays brand hockey stick holders and displays is the same as a regular stick. The handle of a goalie stick is the same size and shape as a regular (forward or defensemen) hockey stick. The brackets are mounted the same as you would for a regular stick, and are strong enough to handle the lopsided weight. We have a number of customers using our hangers with their goalie sticks.

There is, however, a unique situation with some game-used goalie sticks that poses a different challenge to hang.

some goalie sticks have a taped knob at the end

Some game-used goalie sticks have a large knob made of tape on the top of their handles; some are thicker than others. This is added by goalies to balance the stick and help it not slide out of their hand.

When hanging a goalie stick with this taped knob, it can push the stick away from the wall, and not allow the bracket to get a solid hold on the stick. In these situations, Breakaway Displays offers Goalie Spacers*.

Not every goalie stick needs the Goalie Spacers, just sticks with taped knobs over ¼ inch thick.
