When purchasing a new hockey stick, several factors should be considered to find the best model for your skill level and playing style.  To start, the kick-point is important, as it plays a crucial role in how shots and passes come off the stick. This will help overall on-ice performance and taking your game to the next level. If you’re unsure which kick-point suits you best, or you’re looking for an accurate assessment, visit your local Pure Hockey store.

Staying consistent with the high-end Ribcor models, the Ribcor 96K stick is engineered with a low flex profile. This creates a quick loading stick for faster and more accurate shots. 

The 96K stick has the same shaft design as the top two models with an ergonomic shaft shape. This is designed to offer comfort and a seamless energy transfer to maximize the speed of your release. 

Moving down the stick, CCM uses their Ascent Blade 2 with peel-ply construction in the blade. This is a high-end carbon fiber with optimized stiffness that transitions seamlessly from softer in the heel to extra stiff in the toe. This will provide heightened puck feel and a quicker shot. The peel-ply and C6 weave gives the blade more pop off the stick and added strength.

Any player who wants to experience the performance benefits of a top-end stick is encouraged to upgrade to a higher-level model like the Trigger 9 Pro or the Trigger 9, but for those recreational players who are looking for a quality option at a lower price point, the CCM Trigger 96K stick proves to be a great value.
