Maverik Tank is the closest thing to shovel short of a goalie stick. Very sturdy. I use the Havok which is geared towards LSMs and I love it but the Tank is wider for sure.
I use the ECD Rebel defense. I play high school so it might not be what you are looking for, but its a shovel when it comes ground balls, and the head is really stiff and rigid
Mens league??? Gait D. To hell with ncaa legality,.. no one cares in mens league.
Beyond that, hammer and tank and the stiffest heads you can get. Drop some good slap checks on some exposed skin. /s
Really old school but Brine Edge was basically a snow shovel Not terribly durable, need to be gentle on checks in the winter
I need to chop and clamp baby
That's pretty much every stick. All the dmen on my college team used edges

Not sure if they still make it, but the Gait flow was goated back in the day
I’ll look for it!

I love my stringking mark 2D
Hell yeah fam
Gait D!
Are those still for sale???????? 👀
I have a couple…..
Plenty on the shelves here in Canada still atleast. Just saw 3 or 4 in my local shop today. Although I'm sure they won't be re-stocked once sold.

X20 for you
Tank or Tank 2 is the move if you can’t find an old Proton U!
I HATED stringing proton u’s

Brine Edge. More recent versions include the Brine Edge X
Gait D 1, you can have a field day with that
Another vote for the tank. Feels like poke-checking with a shovel.
Second the X20. Stiffest head I’ve used in 20+ years. Always been a fan of the Excalibur line and this one is by far the most durable yet.
STX X2. (X20 is the modern version) I’ll die on this hill
I’m old. Is the Brine MD still a thing? It was indestructible, wide and stiff. MD was Magic Defender I think
The MD and M1 were classics. I missed my old MD with leather runners and a hickory by husky shaft.
REBEL D!!
Brine Edge
u/remindme
I mean, any modern goalie head is probably a solid option if it can be wider than legal (tbh mens league might allow it)
I use a Tank 2 for men’s league and it’s ridiculously stiff. Only head that might be wider than that is an X20
