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 2019 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 Ribcor Trigger 4 Composite Stick ($299.99)
For players looking for a lightweight hockey stick with CCM’s quickest release yet, the Ribcor Trigger 4 Pro Stick is a top-of-the-line option that offers high-end technologies. The low kick-point and unique asymmetrical taper feature a concave front side to promote more flexural speed, and a rounded concave backside to maximize torsional stiffness for greater accuracy and control. Ribcor uses all-new ergonomic shaft geometry with different designs in each section of the shaft to improve comfort, control, release, and overall performance.
Another technology upgrade is the new Agility Blade. Its new advanced, thin profile allows for linear flex, enhancing the quick release and overall accuracy.
