A hockey stick is one of the easiest sports drawings there is — one long leaning line, a flat blade at the bottom, and a puck to chase. If your child can draw a letter L, they're already most of the way there.
✏️ Draw Your Hockey Stick in 6 Easy Steps
One step per box — this step by step hockey stick drawing shows each new part in a different color so kids can see exactly what changed.
Step 1: The Shaft
Draw one long, thin stick shape leaning diagonally across the page, with a rounded top end. That is the shaft of the hockey stick.
Step 2: The Blade
Draw a short, flat shape at the bottom of the shaft, lying along the ground like the foot of the letter L. That is the blade.
Step 3: The Grip Lines
Draw three short lines across the top end of the shaft. That is where the hands hold the stick.
Step 4: The Blade Lines
Draw two short lines across the blade.
Step 5: The Puck
Draw one flat oval on the ground in front of the blade. That is the puck.
Step 6: Color It In
Color the shaft warm tan brown, the grip at the top and the blade black, and the puck solid black with a grey edge.
📊 Hockey Stick Drawing by Age
Every age can join in — just adjust the job.
| Age | What they can do | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| 3-4 | Draw the long leaning shaft and color the stick and puck in. | Start the shaft near the top corner of the page — a leaning stick needs the whole diagonal of the paper, not a little corner of it. |
| 4-5 | Add the blade flat at the bottom and the three grip lines across the top of the shaft. | Think of the letter L: the blade is just the foot of the L, lying flat along the ground. |
| 6+ | Finish all six steps, including the two blade lines and the puck sitting in front of the blade. | Older kids can add a goal net behind the puck and motion lines to show the shot flying in. |

🏒 Hockey Game Page
Turn your stick and puck into a game scene: draw the ice with a few long skating lines, add a goal net behind the puck, and draw a second stick for a friend or goalie. Keep score at the top of the page — first to three goals wins. Name your team, write it under the drawing (or dictate it for a grown-up to write), and your picture is the poster for game day.
What You'll Need to Draw A Hockey Stick
All you need is a pencil, an eraser, and crayons or markers. For the colors in the tutorial, have warm tan brown ready for the shaft, black for the grip, the blade, and the puck, and grey for the puck's edge. Regular printer paper or a sketchbook both work.
What They're Learning
This tutorial practices long diagonal lines (a new direction for most kids, who default to vertical and horizontal), the letter-L shape, and counting short parallel lines — three across the grip, two across the blade. The flat oval puck introduces drawing an object lying flat, and the whole page works on planning space, since the leaning shaft needs the paper's full diagonal.
Make It Yours
Try your team's colors on the grip section, a left-handed stick drawn as a mirror image, a goalie scene with a big net behind the puck, or a winter picture with ice, snow, and skate marks around the stick. Two crossed sticks over a puck make a great hockey-party invitation or card front.

💡 Hockey Stick Drawing Tips for Parents
Step 1's diagonal is the whole drawing: start the shaft high in one top corner and bring it down to the opposite bottom area, so the stick uses the full page. If your child draws it short and vertical, the blade has nowhere to lie flat — a quick erase at this stage saves frustration at step 2.
The blade in step 2 must sit flat on the 'ice' — an imaginary ground line across the bottom of the page. If it tilts up, the stick looks like it's flying. For steps 3 and 4, count the lines together (three on the grip, two on the blade) and don't worry about even spacing; tape on a real stick is never even either. The puck in step 5 goes right against the blade's tip, flat like a pancake, not round like a ball.
✏️ Hockey Stick Drawing Step by Step
Sports gear can look technical, but a hockey stick is secretly one of the simplest drawings on this site: one long leaning shape, one flat shape, five short lines, and an oval. Kids who love hockey get a drawing they can actually finish, which matters more than detail.
The diagonal is the clever part. A stick drawn straight up looks like a ruler; leaned across the page, it instantly looks like it's in a game. Starting with that lean in step 1 means the whole drawing has energy before a single detail is added.
Work through the steps in order and notice how little there is to get wrong. The lines in steps 3 and 4 don't need to be straight or evenly spaced — real stick tape isn't either.

✏️ One Long Line and a Letter L
Step 1 is the shaft: one long, thin shape from high on the page down to the ground, with a rounded top end. Step 2 adds the blade lying flat along the ground at the shaft's bottom, like the foot of the letter L — that L comparison gives kids a shape they already know.
Steps 3 and 4 are pure counting: three short lines across the top of the shaft for the grip, where the hands hold, and two short lines across the blade. Step 5 drops one flat oval in front of the blade — the puck, drawn flat because we see it lying on the ice, not face-on.
Step 6 colors it like real gear: warm tan brown shaft, black grip at the top, black blade, and a solid black puck with a grey edge. Five simple marks of color and it looks ready for a game.

🏒 Hockey Stick and Puck Drawing
The puck is what turns this from 'a stick' into 'hockey.' It's a single flat oval, but it gives the stick a job — suddenly there's a story: a shot about to happen, a pass on its way. Kids almost always start narrating the game at step 5.
Keeping the drawing to just stick and puck is deliberate. Nets, players, and rinks are fun additions, but they're scene-building, and they come after the core drawing works. A child who can draw the stick can add the rest of the rink whenever they're ready.
This is also a good first 'object' drawing for kids who usually draw people and animals. Objects don't have faces to get right, so the pressure is low and the success rate is high — a nice confidence page between animal tutorials.

❓ Hockey Stick Drawing FAQs
What is the easiest way to draw a hockey stick?
Draw one long thin shaft leaning diagonally across the page, add a short flat blade at the bottom like the foot of the letter L, then mark three grip lines at the top, two lines across the blade, and a flat oval puck in front of it.
What age is this hockey stick drawing for?
It's made for ages 3 and up. The shapes are all preschool-friendly — one long line, a flat L-foot, short lines, and an oval — and younger kids can draw the shaft and color while older kids add the lines and puck themselves.
What supplies do we need?
A pencil, an eraser, paper, and crayons or markers. For colors you'll want warm tan brown for the shaft, black for the grip, blade, and puck, and grey for the puck's edge.
Is the printable really free?
Yes — every printable on MomYouNeedThis is 100% free, including this hockey stick drawing tutorial. There is no signup, no email, and no catch — just download, print, and draw.
How do I print it?
Open the PDF and choose Print, then set the scale to 100% (sometimes called Actual Size) so the steps print at full size. The tutorial is designed for regular US Letter paper, and plain printer paper works perfectly.
Why does the hockey stick lean?
Because a stick standing straight up and down can't reach the ice. The lean matches how a player actually holds it — hands up top, blade flat on the ground, ready to move the puck.
What is the flat part at the bottom called?
The blade — it's the short flat part at the bottom of the shaft that lies along the ground. It's the part that actually touches the puck, which is why this tutorial draws it flat like the foot of the letter L.
Can I draw the stick facing the other way?
Yes — that's how left-handed players hold it. Draw the same steps as a mirror image: shaft leaning the other way, blade pointing the other direction. Everything else — grip lines, blade lines, puck — stays exactly the same.
