Top Warrior Hockey Sticks
You won't find any Warrior hockey sticks in antique shops - as the company didn't enter the market until it acquired Innovative Hockey in 2005 - but what Warrior lacks in heritage it makes up for in technological savvy. Innovative Hockey was the first company in North America to make composite sticks, and Warrior has built on that expertise by continuing to refine materials and improve its hockey stick designs. For 2019, Warrior has introduced three new sticks that offer power, quick release, and durability to fit your style of play and level of expertise.
Warrior Covert QR Edge Composite Hockey Stick ($259.99)
The Warrior Covert hockey stick is built to score goals and built to last. The Covert QR Edge hockey stick carries forward a few successful design features and offers some key upgrades from the 2018 line. The big change for this stick is in the QR Edge taper. Warrior is moving away from the familiar Dagger taper and toward a new angular edge taper. It is now easier to load and has a more explosive quick release because energy transfers more easily through the shaft and the blade.
Another upgrade is the construction material, the Minimus Carbon 1200. 12K carbon fiber is still a commonly used pro specification in the NHL, and its high-strength, lightweight flat-weave carbon composite design improves the stick’s construction and feel. The blade offers a traditional foam-filled core with heel-to-toe stringers for stiffness. A textured surface on the shaft, joined with a soft but tacky Pro Cortex Grip, will lock your hands in place for optimum control. Those players looking for a stick with a quick and smooth release will love how this stick performs and how it feels in their hands.
Specifications:
- Suggested level of play: Elite
- Construction: Minimus Carbon 1200
- Shaft design: Rounded
- Flex point: Low Kick
- Weight: 411 grams
Warrior Covert QR Edge Stick
Warrior Alpha DX Pro Composite Hockey Stick ($199.99)
The Alpha DX Pro hockey stick is a great value for a high performing stick with top-end features. The mid kick-point, found throughout the Alpha line, is enhanced by the Sabre Taper, giving you a quicker release and more accurate shot from anywhere in the offensive zone. The construction features Warrior’s True 1 Fantom Feel, making the DX Pro one of the lightest and strongest one-piece sticks Warrior has to offer. Another key innovation in this model is its Fuelcore technology. Fuelcore enhances the construction of the blade with composite layering around the core, giving your shots more pop and improving puck feel.
With many of the same features as the high-end models, this stick is built from Minimus Carbon 1000 material, making it durable and lightweight. The Ergo shaft shape and Apex Grip will give you optimal comfort and control of your stick. The Warrior Alpha DX Pro offers great performance—power, accuracy, and control—at a great price.
Specifications:
- Suggested level of play: Performance
- Construction: Minimus Carbon 1000
- Shaft design: Rounded
- Flex point: Mid Kick
- Weight: 440 grams
Warrior Alpha DX Pro Stick
Warrior Alpha DX4 Grip Composite Hockey Stick ($99.99)
If you want a true one-piece composite stick that provides performance at a good price, look no further than the DX4 Grip stick of the Warrior Alpha line. With many of the same features as the high-end models, it is built from a blend of Minimus 400 carbon. It is a step down from the Minimus 1400 carbon in the top-of-the-line model, but still offers durability and a lightweight feel. The True 1 Phantom Feel one-piece construction, combined with the Ergo shaft shape and Apex Grip, creates a light, balanced stick that’s comfortable in the hand, extremely responsive, and offers plenty of power when you call for it.
It’s the blend of power and quickness that makes the DX4 such a versatile stick. The Sabre Taper, which keeps the hosel from twisting or torquing during the shooting process, improves shooting accuracy, sending the puck exactly where you want it to go. If you’re a player looking for a light, powerful, and quick hockey stick at a great price, the DX4 is made for you.
Specifications:
- Suggested level of play: Performance
- Construction: Minimus Carbon 400
