Intro & New Features
Boasting a new shaft designed with a blend of aluminum and carbon fiber layers, the Jetspeed FT8 Pro pushes durability levels even further than before, while still managing to reduce the weight of the stick. It also brings a completely reengineered blade that has been developed with the same theories as the stick's profile, allowing it to create a different local stiffness. The Soft-Stiff EVO blade uses a very soft heel for enhanced stickhandling and passing that evolves into a stiffer toe for excellent shooting performance, enabling players to excel in all aspects of the game.
Stick Profile
The Jetspeed line uses a hybrid kick point, which combines the benefits of both a low and high kick point. It is designed to provide a quick release for wrist and snap shots, while also delivering more power for slap shots. The hybrid kick point is achieved by using a combination of carbon fibres with different flex properties in the lower and upper parts of the shaft. The lower part of the shaft uses stiffer carbon fibres, creating a low kick point for quick releases. The upper part of the shaft uses more flexible carbon fibres, creating a higher kick point for increased power and accuracy on slap shots.
Shaft Construction
The FT8 Pro stick features a rounded “R” geometry. The streamlined shape has rounded corners and concave sides that is increasing in popularity as CCM keeps releasing their stick line. This design of the stick geometry is designed to provide a more comfortable feel and natural grip with a better feel for the player.
Additionally, CCM included a Skeleton+ taper technology. This manufactured technology can be found in the taper area which is designed to provide better reliability in key moments of the game.
Blade Construction
When creating the blade on the FT8 Pro hockey stick, CCM implemented a new soft-stiff evo blade with helicoid technology. This is a new generation of CCM blade that plays like a mix of the FT6 Pro stiff toe and the FT7 Pro shorter heel to provide players with optimal puck feel and excellent shooting performance. There is also Sigma ST2X carbon weave spread tow in the shaft and blade.
Graphics
The CCM FT8 Pro stick features a holographic finish which makes the colors on the stick stand-out in an all-new way. The CCM logo is in Chrome which makes it stand out, while the colors in the upper shaft stand out with the holographic design.
Grip
The grip on the FT8 Pro has a raised FT Microfeel grip located in the mid section of the shaft to ensure perfect control when playing.
Blade Patterns, Flex & Stick Length
The CCM Jetspeed FT8 Pro Junior Hockey Stick is available in the following blade patterns: P29, P28, P88, P90TM, P28 +1/4 , and P29 + 1/4 . A new feature CCM continues to use is the +¼ option which is designed to add puck control for players.
P29 is the best blade pattern for all-around play, with a mid-curve style. It is great at handling the puck in small spaces, including face-offs. This curve may suffer a little bit on the backhand.
P28 is a much more aggressive stick pattern, used often by elite players. This blade curve specializes in quick and accurate shots, but it can be a bit difficult to get used to since it is also very good at raising the puck.
P88 is a relatively traditional curve. A popular choice in the past, it excels greatly in stickhandling, quick wrist shots, and controlling snap shots.
P90TM takes elements from both the P29 and P28, but it is just a bit taller.
50 Flex (P29, P28, P88, P90TM, P28 +¼, P29 + ¼), L/R - 54”
40 Flex (P29, P28, P88, P90TM, P28 +¼, P29 + ¼), L/R - 51”

Hockey Player Stick Sizing & Information Guide
Selecting the right stick for you.
When it comes to sizing a Hockey Stick, the length tends to be a preference. Sticks come in Senior, Intermediate, Junior and Youth lengths with corresponding flex options. You will need to consider your weight and height or the person you are buying for in order to choose the correct size. Intermediate, Junior, and Youth hockey sticks will have smaller shaft dimensions, making them easier for young players to hold and control.
A stick can always be cut down in length, and will usually be cut down for kids. However, selecting a hockey stock too long in length or the wrong flex can hinder performance. For kids, junior, intermediate and senior all come in roughly standards length. In some cases, each Junior flex will be a different length of stick. Look at each and compare the height of the player you are buying for.
Flex can be tricky to pick as every hockey player is different and has their own preference. You can think of flex numbers as pounds of force. Having too stiff or too whippy a stick can hinder performance in their own ways.
Personalizing your stick length.
As mentioned before, length is very much personal preference. To determine a benchmark height, stand with your shoes off and the stick against your body with the toe on the ground. As a general rule of thumb we recommend sticks to come up to between your mouth and nose. For kids, or players who are still growing, the maximum height we recommend is eye level.
Mark the shaft of the stick where the height is desired and cut it down to length. Make sure to re-insert the plug from the top to prevent an open composite end at the top of your stick.
When cutting a stick down, keep in mind that the shorter you cut a stick, the stiffer it becomes. As a general rule, a stick increases 3% in stiffness for every inch cut off. If you are unsure how much you want to cut off, take the least amount first so that you can always cut more if necessary. Cutting the stick multiple times will not affect the sticks construction.
Information to Consider
Flex Options
Players want to be able to fully flex the stick. If a stick is too soft, the resulting shot will be inaccurate and weak. If a stick is too stiff, there will be no power behind the shot. Think of the flex number as pounds of force. This is the number of pounds that need to be put into the stick to fully flex it.
Curve Options
In most cases, sticks are offered in multiple blade curve pattern options. Please refer to our blade pattern charts for more information regarding the patterns available.
Kick Point Options
A Mid-kick stick will have a stiffer taper so that it flexes more in the middle of the shaft. These sticks have a longer loading time but offer a more powerful shot, perfect for players taking a lot of slap shots.
A Low-kick stick will have a stiffer middle of the shaft and softer taper so that it flexes at the bottom of the shaft closer to the blade. These sticks will have a much quicker release perfect for quick snap shots and writs shots.
