Intro & New Features
Introducing in 2024 is the CCM Axis XF Pro Senior Goalie Stick. This stick provides goaltenders with the confidence to take on any shot and make the save of the game. The XF Pro enables lightning-fast movement and perfect control, allowing you to make split-second decisions and move with sharp reflexes.
Paddle Technology
The paddle on this stick features a one-piece paddle blade. The completely redesigned paddle geometry, which is now built in a single mold with the blade, provides better material distribution and increased durability.
Stick Technology
Nanolite shiled carbon layering is a cutting-edge technology that uses variable carbon fiber layers to create a lighter stick without sacrificing any durability.
Stick Flex Profile
This stick features a new high-flex profile. It combines a stiffer paddle and a softer shaft. This new flex profile has been developed to enable easier puck stoppuing along the board and zone clearances when needed.
Shoulder Shape
The XF Pro goalie stick features a different shoulder shape, depending on the size (SR or INT). The senior paddle features a steep shoulder shape, which improves hand position.
Shaft Geometry
The shaft consists of variable "V" geometry with a shorter shaft. The unique double geometry on the shaft ensures total control inside or outside the crease while reducing stick twist.
Material
Throughout the stick, we see that it is constructed of full sigmatex construction. This provides the stick with a durable material that is trusted and will allow goaltenders to focus on making saves.
Sizes & Colors
The Authentic Demko CCM Axis XF Pro Senior Goalie Stick is available in 26" in the left hand option. Additionally, it comes with the P4 blade pattern option and in a stunning Canucks colourway.

Goalie Stick Sizing Information
Unlike other pieces of gear, Goalie Sticks are sized mostly to the goaltender’s preference and playing style rather than their height. The most important measurement, when purchasing a new goal stick, is the paddle height (the wide portion of the stick), which is usually taken from the heel of the stick to the shaft/paddle interface. The reason for the paddle height’s significance is because it sets up the goaltender’s depth in the ready stance and (if properly sized) positions the blocker in an optimal position.
Sizing Your Goalie Stick
To start analyzing the size of your goalie stick, put on your goalie skates to get an accurate height of where you will be in your stance. If you’re looking to be even more accurate, strap on your goalie pads and blocker as well. Once that is done, get comfortable in your natural stance (the one you’d be in during a majority of gameplay) and look for the following:
1. The entire blade of the stick is flush with the ground while being 1’ - 2’ in front of your feet
2. After getting your stick into the flush position, check that the inside edge of the blocker hand sits on the outside edge of the goal pad (this is while holding just above the paddle).
Goalie Stick Sizing Considerations
Goalie Stick sizing can be very subjective compared to other pieces of equipment. The reason for this is the ambiguity of each goaltenders ‘natural stance’, especially with younger goaltenders. It is rather common for children to use taller sticks in comparison to their height, as their stance depth isn’t usually as aggressive as a seasoned goalie.
The shaft length of a goalie stick is usually best left at its stock length, as it serves to counteract the weight of the blade and ideally place the center of gravity at the top of the paddle. The one exception to this rule is for advanced puck handlers, cutting the shaft will allow more power transfer when shooting as a result of being able to keep the blade flush to the ice while near the goaltender’s feet.
