Blade Heel â The hockey stick blade heel is the back part of the blade where the blade meets the hosel of the shaft. Blade Lie â The measurement of the angle between the stick blade and shaft, and determines where the blade sits on the ice. These numbers range from 4-8 degrees. A common stick lie of 5 corresponds to approximately 135Â° angle.
Medium lies (5.5 or so) will be somewhere in the middle. Often the lie of the blade will correspond with the length of the stick. Because a short stick places the heel of the blade closer to the body, a higher lie will ensure the blade is flat on the ice. A longer stick places the blade further from the body, so a lower lie keeps the blade flat.
