New for 2022 CCM has revamped their popular Ribcor Trigger stick line with the CCM Ribcor Trigger 7 Intermediate Hockey Stick. The Trigger 7 has been built with a better balance point and weighs less than its predecessor, giving an enhanced feel and an ultra-quick release. Starting with the shaft makeup, The Ribcor Trigger 7 is continuing to use high performing Advanced Carbon Matrix technology combined with sigmatex spread tow. Specifically designed with players sticks in mind, Sigmatex’s new carbon weave improves on the previous generation’s durability and strength, all while allowing for a lighter and more balanced stick. For the design of the Ribcor Trigger 7 shaft, CCM is keeping their popular E-Geometry shaft. This advanced ergonomic construction was designed by the CCM Performance Lab in collaboration with some of the best hockey players in the world. It is designed to offer a seamless energy transfer to maximize the speed of release. Starting at the top of the shaft, you will find a rounded concave design that allows for advanced comfort and control. As you move down to the mid-shaft, you find a rounded convex back side combined with a square-cornered concave front, which maximizes dexterity and control. Working in tandem with the E-Geometry shaft, the Trigger 7 will also use Skeleton+ shaft taper. This redesigned taper is a new manufacturing technology which will provide better reliability and durability in this crucial area of the stick. This will allow for better consistency and quicker shot release in those key moments of the game. To achieve an ultra-quick release for the Ribcor Trigger 7, CCM is using an optimized low kick featuring a soft taper area and optimal vertical flex. Along with their exclusive skeleton+ taper design, this kick point maximizes loading while driving that ultra-quick release. Moving down to the blade of the Ribcor Trigger 7, CCM is going with an agility blade with peel-ply technology. This improved agility blade takes stick handling and feel to the next level without any compromise on shot release speed. Improving on their Ribcor stick line with better durability and reduced weight, the Ribcor Trigger 7 Intermediate Hockey Stick, will be a great option for a high-level player looking to improve every aspect of their game on the ice.

The Bauer Supreme 2S Pro hockey stick is built for efficiency and power, with the innovation and professional features that elite-level players are looking for in a high kick point model. DuraFlex resin system for increased shaft strength Advanced Carbon Layering for reduced weight without sacrificing durability Renewcore technology for a longer lasting blade Monocomp one-piece construction for enhanced shaft consistency Maximum Power Kick for increased energy transfer New to Bauer’s top-end Supreme hockey stick this year is the Duraflex resin system. While Bauer continues to use its TeXtreme carbon fiber construction in the 2S Pro, the new Duraflex resin increases the entire shaft’s durability and flexural strength. The stick also utilizes the popular Monocomp technology, a carry-over from the Supreme 1S, which provides a true one-piece stick design, producing excellent consistency throughout the shaft. These elite technologies allow you to lean heavier into shots for maximum power. The 2S Pro blade features a key upgrade, Advanced Carbon Layering, which improves the durability-to-weight ratio. The ACL technology produces more carbon fiber layered in a compressed area, increasing the strength of the blade while reducing the stick’s weight. Bauer combines blade innovation with trusted features from the previous model, bringing back their Renewcore technology, which takes a pressurized gel and fills internal blade cracks to create a longer lasting structure. These key features produce a reactive blade for higher shot velocity, without sacrificing strength and durability. The Maximum Power Kick is another carry-over from last year’s 1S model. This technology maximizes the transfer of energy on every shot, with a taper geometry that thickens the hosel area to create a higher kick point, allowing you to generate power from handle to blade. The MPK technology is complemented by the extended transfer zone, allowing you to load your snap shots based on hand positioning for added versatility. Whether you’re firing off a quick snap shot or loading up for a slap shot, the fast recoil and increased energy transfer will provide you with excellent power. The Senior model of the 2S Pro weighs 415 grams, a 5-gram reduction from last year’s 1S model, and features the new P92M blade profile, Bauer’s maximum blade height. With NHL players requesting a taller blade, Bauer delivered, providing the same curve and lie as the standard P92, with the addition of the increased height. This feature helps you in all areas of the game, whether you’re winning a face-off, tipping shots in front of the net, deflecting passes from the opposing team, or collecting bouncing pucks in the corners. Bauer has created its most efficient hockey stick to date in the Supreme 2S Pro, using a winning technological formula to produce a stick made to give you a powerful release. If you’re an elite player looking to take your shot to the next level, the 2S Pro has the features you want.

The new Bauer AG5NT stick is taking technology and construction to the next level. The AG5NT is the lightest stick in the history of hockey, coming in at 335g. Bauer also created the quickest release that Bauer has ever had. Monocomp one-piece construction. DuraFlex Resin throughout the shaft to help increase impact resistance. Low-Kick Stick for quick releases. Boron Fiber Technology is being used throughout the backside of the stick to increase strength and decrease weight. AG5NT Blade Core technology in the blade for added durability and pop. Optimized Carbon Fiber layering in the shaft. XE Taper Technology for improved stability There are a variety of factors to consider when purchasing a new stick. When thinking about your on-ice performance, it is important to place a focus on kick point. Finding the right kick point will help take your shot to the next level and have a positive impact on your game. If you’re unsure which kick point is best for you, visit your local Pure Hockey for an accurate assessment. Bauer enhances the AG5NT stick by taking what makes the Vapor line so successful and adding some incredible features and technologies for the lightest stick ever brought to market. The AG5NT is comprised of a low-kick point, built for players who take quick-motion shots, mostly shoot close to the net, and prefer release speed over power. The biggest upgrade in this stick is the use of the element Boron. This material has never been used in a hockey stick before. What makes boron so unique for a hockey stick is that it has two times the compression strength and two times the stiffness compared to the best carbon fiber in the world. In addition, Bauer has the exclusive partnership to be able to take boron, which comes in a powder form, and create it into a fiber, so you can actually utilize it in a hockey stick. When you have two times the compression strength and two times the stiffness, Bauer needed to strategically place this material within the stick to reduce the weight without doing anything to the durability of the product. The Boron fibers are fused with high-grade carbon fiber to create that strength. You're going to be able to lean into this stick with those shots, and that compression strength is going to allow you to load those shots and release it faster than ever before. The added stiffness in the stick does not refer to the flex, it means that a stronger material is being used. Boron equals the lightest stick in the history of hockey, plus the quickest release Bauer has ever brought to market. The XE taper, which is passed down from the Vapor line is a taper design that uses a unique elliptical geometry with a thinner construction and more rounded edges. These features help to decrease the weight of the stick while increasing your release speed. This design also helps stabilize the blade when taking one-timers or hard shots. The DuraFlex resin system that is found throughout the stick increases the entire shaft’s durability and flexural strength. With these benefits, you can lean heavily into shots for a balanced and powerful feel to complement your quick release. Inside the shaft is Bauer’s optimized carbon layering, which includes Boron for the added durability. Moving down the stick, Bauer uses AG5NT Blade Core technology in the blade, which is a dual carbon bridge to help increase blade recoil and pop with every touch of the puck. The Bauer AG5NT stick combines some of Bauer's most trusted features with new high-end technologies to offer an elite level stick for players who skate 4+ times per week and loved the Hyperlite but are looking for something lighter, quicker and stronger with unmatched feel.
