CCM has seen a huge increase in the use of composite sticks at the NHL level, and this popularity has continued on in the retail world as well. The P2.9 junior composite goalie stick offers a lightweight and stiff platform that will allow younger goalies to get the most out of their stick while playing goalie.
The first thing that CCM improved on the P2.9 junior goalie stick compared to its predecessor the R1.9 junior goalie stick is the shaft. Featuring the same Sigmatax shaft as found on the Premier 2 goalie stick, the P2.9 has improved on shaft weight and strength immensely. This high tension carbon weave offers much better shaft compaction consistency as well, as a big step to improve durability of the shaft over time.
The rest of the P2.9 junior goalie stick features CCM's composite structure with Zeroflux technology. Zeroflux is a technology that is added into the composite and does a good job of reducing the vibration that the goalie feels when the stick comes in contact with the puck.
The Premier P2.9 junior goalie stick also features a redesigned Stiktak grip on the shaft. They have shortened the grip zone on the back of the stick to allow for a quicker poke-check, rather than getting your blocker trapped before reaching the end of the stick.
The P2.9 junior goalie stick is one of the lightest sticks for junior sized goalies, and is sure to be one of the top performers as well.
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.
