Intro & New Features
Elevate your play with the Ribcor Trigger 9 Hockey Stick. Its optimized low kickpoint, featuring a softer hosel and top shaft, allows for the fastest of releases. Built with pure carbon technology, this stick is both incredibly durable and lightweight, perfect for dominating the ice. Plus the agility blade with Peel-Ply delivers unmatched stick handling and feel, all while maintaining lightning-fast shot release speed.
Stick Profile
Designed to increase your performance, the stick has CCM's optimized low kick point. This means the stick flexes lower, closer to the blade. This design enhances the stick's ability to store and release energy quickly during a shot. When a player loads the stick by flexing it, the energy stored in the lower shaft is rapidly released at the low kick point upon shooting. This results in a swift and explosive shot release, ideal for close-range shots, quick snapshots, and fast-paced gameplay.
Shaft Construction
This stick features an ergonomic "E" geometry in the shaft shape. It is designed to offer a flawless energy transfer, optimizing the speed of release for your shots. Reinforced by the Sigma STP spread tow shaft, this provides the stick with a more lighter feel and more balance, while still being extremely durable.
It is also has a pure carbon technology, which is developed to offer a robust yet lightweight construction for high-performance stick.
Blade Construction
The blade is constructed of Agility blade with Peel-Ply, which is a lighter profile blade that takes stick handling to the next level without compromise on shots release speed. It is also made of a Sigmatex blade which provides players with a durable blade that helps with stickhandling as well as puck carrying.
Grip
The Trigger 9 features a Trigger Microfeel grip. This stick is designed to have a curved and raised texture, to offer an enhanced stick feel while in your hands, providing greater control and sensitivity to each movement while stickhandling.
Blade Patterns, Flex & Stick Length
The CCM RIBCOR Trigger 9 Intermediate Hockey Stick comes in blade patterns: P29, P28, P88, and P90TM. 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.
P88 is a relatively traditional curve. A popular choice in the past, it excels greatly in stickhandling, quick wrist shots, and controlling snap shots.
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.
P90TM is a hybrid of the P29 and P28 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. The "M" stands for "max blade", which means the blade also has a bit more height for a stronger presence when engaging in 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.
