Find the Stick for Your Game
CCM has been making hockey gear since 1905, but the spirit of innovation continues to drive the company's hockey stick designers to seek new materials and to develop new high-performance profiles. The aim is always the same: to make sticks that
are lighter, stronger, and perform better than previous models.
Three new sticks for 2017 from CCM are examples of how the company continues to improve quality at all price points, offering players at all levels better performance, with an added focus on durability. These sticks are built tough, ready to withstand
the impact of a slash or the forces required to launch a long-range slap shot—while retaining the responsiveness and accuracy required for high-level hockey.
CCM Super Tacks 2.0 Grip Composite Stick ($279.99)
It's always impressive when a company with a long history embraces cutting-edge technology, and the latest weapon in CCM's Super Tacks line is a great example. The top-of-the-line Super Tacks 2.0 Grip Composite Stick is built from an all-new Sigmatex
carbon fiber, which makes the stick lighter, stronger, and more responsive. The spread-tow fabric—in which the carbon fibers are arranged in a unidirectional tape, rather than in woven bundles—is considerably more impact-resistant,
and more effectively transfers energy to create power. Reinforced Bumper Technology, which places extra material in the slash zone, further protects the stick's integrity and prevents breakage. The result is a stick that is remarkably strong,
without sacrificing feel, power, or accuracy.
The performance of the Super Tacks 2.0 is built around a dual-flex profile, featuring a mid-kick point and two optimized loading zones. Whether you're taking a quick wrist shot in front of goal or ripping a slap shot from the blue line, the stick
loads accordingly—offering the best of both worlds. The bottom of the stick's taper is slightly softer, allowing the player to feel the puck and respond quickly while stickhandling or passing. The combination of Acu2 Blade Core and Sigmatex
in the heel and the toe makes the blade 2.5 times more durable than previous models and offers unmatched accuracy. The result is a stick that's surprisingly light, tough, and powerful at the same time.

CCM Tacks 7092 Grip Composite Stick ($149.99)
A great choice for a mid-price stick, the Tacks 7092 is built around the same dual-flex profile as the Super Tacks 2.0. Depending on where the shooter places his or her bottom hand, the shaft flexes differently, and it is optimized for both quick
shots (wrist and snap shots) and power blasts (slap shots and one timers). The shaft is constructed from a new basketweave carbon fiber that's both responsive and durable, and Bumper Technology—which places more material at the corners,
where most impacts occur—ensures you can put the stick through its paces on both offense and defense with confidence.
In the blade, an Ultra Attackframe core is wrapped with 12K carbon to provide both sensitive feel and wear resistance. The high torsional and bending stiffness of the blade, which keeps the blade from warping when under pressure, allows the player
to shoot with pinpoint accuracy every time. If you're in the market for a high-performance stick that can take a lot of punishment, then consider the Tacks 7092.

- Suggested level of play: Performance

CCM RibCor 64K Grip Composite Stick ($99.99)
For players who need a quick release in the slot or who pride themselves on dangling defensemen, the new RibCor 64K is an affordable stick that offers an aggressive, responsive taper and a blade designed for better puck control. The shaft is constructed
with a fiberglass-and-carbon blend using Popmatrix Technology, which keeps the performance carbon fibers under constant tension for a fast and smooth transfer of stored energy. The taper between the blade and the shaft is built for speed and
power, while the optimized low kick point maximizes the release rate for finesse players who like to deliver a shot before the goalie expects it.
The Ascent blade transitions from softer in the heel to extra stiff in the toe, providing great feel for stickhandling but also enabling a sniper to find the top corner or five-hole every time. A C6 Weave reinforces the blade for added durability.
Specifications:
- Suggested level of play: Performance
- Construction: Fused one-piece
- Shaft configuration: Rounded corners, straight sidewalls
- Flex point: Low kick
- Weight: 478 grams
