Intro & New Features
Last on CCM’s upgrade list for sticks in 2022 is the Trigger 7 Pro. This stick looks to offer a lighter weight, quicker release, and overall enhanced performance from its predecessor by combining the tech that worked with some brand new innovations. The tech in the Trigger 7 series is some of the best CCM has to offer for low kick point sticks, including Nanolite Carbon Layering, a unique Ergonomic “E” geometry, and a brand new Sigma STP carbon weave.
Stick Flex Profile
The Trigger 7 Pro is part of the Ribcor family, which is CCM’s low kick point stick family. These sticks gradually get softer toward the blade and bend closer to the hosel, a design that helps them load shots as quickly and easily as possible. This style specializes in quick-release shots and is equipped with various features to support this specific kick point.
Shaft Construction & Stiffness
Returning tech to the Ribcor family includes Nanolite Carbon Layering and an Ergonomic “E” shaft geometry. Nanolite Carbon Layering is a high-quality carbon layering technique that both enhances load efficiency and increases durability. The Ergonomic shaft means that the shaft changes shape across the length of the stick, starting out more traditional at the top and becoming more asymmetrical near the bottom. This approach helps increase your control over the stick while also helping the stick load better.
A big upgrade on the Trigger 7 Pro is the new Sigma STP carbon weave, which was developed with hockey players in mind. This weave works closely with the Nanolite Carbon Layering to further increase the sticks’ durability and balance.
Blade Construction
Like the shaft, the blade is also made using a new Sigma STP spread tow carbon weave for better balance and durability. A bit higher up at the hosel, CCM included their Skeleton+ taper technology, returning from its introduction in the Trigger 6 Pro. This taper compresses more of the carbon materials in that area, resulting in more durability and efficiency when loading without adding any weight.
In terms of the blade itself, the Trigger 7 Pro uses an Agility 2 blade with Peel-Ply, a direct upgrade from the previous Agility blade found in the Trigger 6 Pro. The Agility 2 blade takes advantage of the new Sigma STP carbon weave to provide a better feel and release speed.
Graphics
CCM has been adjusting their designs for all their equipment lines this 2022 season, and Ribcor is no different. With one of the more drastic changes this year, CCM has scrapped the classic green for a black and iridescent purple colour scheme. The Ribcor text logo has also gone through some more modernized changes.
Grip
The Trigger 7 Pro uses a Trigger Microfeel 2 grip, which is tactile, curved, and raised strategically for an even better stick feel while you play.
Blade Patterns, Flex & Stick Length
The Ribcor Trigger 7 Pro Senior hockey stick is available in the following blade patterns: P28, P29, P88, and P90TM.
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.
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. Due to its balanced design, this pattern can be described as the perfect beginner blade.
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 is a hybrid of CCM’s P29 and P28 stick curves, with the lie of the P29 and the toe of the P28. Additionally, the curve is a bit taller for more control and power on faceoffs and board battles.

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.
