Intro & New Features
For 2024, Warrior has released the Covert QR6 Team Senior Hockey Stick. With developments like their Minimus Carbon construction, QREdge Taper, Fuelcore blade, and responsive low-kick flex point, this stick is ready to perform as soon as you hit the ice.
Stick Profile
The Covert line is classified as a low to ultra-low kick point hockey stick, amplified by the QREdge taper near the hosel. This taper takes a hexagonal shape to augment power and quick release, the latter of which is a staple of the low kick point. The hexagonal shape also includes more sides on the shaft, making that taper much more durable.
Shaft Construction
Warrior is well-known in the hockey and lacrosse worlds for constantly reworking their carbon construction and materials, and this stick’s shaft demonstrates their advancements in that area. Minimus Carbon UD is of Warrior's own advancements and utilizes a unidirectional carbon fiber weave, which helps to create a highly efficient lightweight and durable hockey stick.The weave is paired with their T.L. 133 shaft construction, a high-grade carbon that features the latest lightweight fiber technology and epoxy resin formulation to provide lower weight with increased strength.
Blade Construction
The QR6 Team stick utilizes the Fuelcore blade. A lightweight polymer blade core enhances puck feel and makes shots pop, and Minimus Carbon 12 composite layering is added around the core to add strength and reduce the breakdown of materials in the blade which in turn increases the durability.
Graphics
The Warrior QR6 Team stick has a black base with pops of white along the shaft. The QR6 logo is set against a white background in black text, offsetting feature logos in white against the black shaft, and both the Warrior and Covert logo are colour matched to the sides of the shaft with a slight gloss to add a slight reflective touch, drawing the eye in. The back of the stick sees a switch from the other sides, with black text on a mostly white base, adding uniqueness to the design.
Grip
Warrior uses a tack grip on the QR6 Team stick to add extra control while moving pucks and stickhandling.
Blade Patterns, Flex & Stick Length
The Warrior QR6 Team Stick comes in the following blade patterns: W01, W02, W03, W05, W28, and W88.W01 has more of a mid-heel curve compared to the W88, making it a bit better for taking shots. Like the W88, the blade is great in its versatility, and it excels in tight stickhandling in small spaces.
W02 is a deep heel curve with a square toe. It’s great for big shots and one-timers, and its open configuration makes raising the puck easier.
W03 is the best all-around blade pattern, with a mid-curve style. It is great at handling the puck in small spaces, including face-offs; however, this curve may suffer a little bit on the backhand.
W05 is an open, medium-sized heel curve that specializes in quick release and accurate passes.
W28 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.
W88 is a relatively traditional curve. A popular choice in the past, it excels greatly in stickhandling, quick wrist shots, and snappy backhands.

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.
