The CCM RIBCOR Trigger 5 INT Hockey Stick is a low kick-point stick with an Ergonomic Shaft Geometry that has been methodically constructed to optimize control and comfort. The stick is constructed with C6 Carbon Weave, and the Agility Blade provides a quick release and enhanced shot accuracy.
Stick Flex Profile
The CCM RIBCOR Trigger 5 stick has a soft taper area on the shaft with optimal vertical flex throughout the stick. CCM’s exclusive RIBCOR asymmetrical taper design adds to the stick’s ability for heavy load and release.
Shaft Construction
The RIBCOR Trigger 5 Hockey Stick has a very unique shaft shape geometry, that CCM refers to as “Ergonomic Shaft Geometry”. They have broken the shaft shape down to 3 segments throughout the shaft.
-
Top-Shaft
The top of the shaft is a rounded concave shape for a natural feel with your top hand giving you comfort and control. -
Mid-Shaft
The mid shaft is a rounded convex back side, combined with a square-cornered concave front side. This gives your lower hand better dexterity and control when loading the shaft. -
Low-Shaft
The lower portion of the shaft is an asymmetric taper design. In simpler terms, it has a concave front-side of the shaft which aids the quick-release. The rounded concave back side adds torsional stiffness to the shaft for better shot accuracy and puck control.
Blade Construction
The Trigger 5 Stick features Agility Blade technology giving you a quick releasing blade, and increased shot accuracy.
Graphics
The CCM RIBCOR Trigger 5 Stick is an all black stick, with neon green graphics and highlights, which stays true to the previous RIBCOR stick lineage.

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.
