Intro & New Features
New for 2024, Warrior has added to the Novium line with the Novium2 Pro Hockey Stick. Warrior has implemented the R.L. 188 shaft construction, Minimus Carbon 25, and the polymer blade core. This stick also features a bevel taper and OG shaft shape to help hold the stick and provide more control on shots. The Novium2 Pro has many features a top-of-the-line Warrior stick has to offer, but in a newer, lighter, and more responsive package.
Stick Profile
The unique bevel taper is designed to be stiffer through the taper which provides unrivaled control, and accuracy. The stiff taper zone allows the stick to load higher in the shaft which creates more leverage and increased velocity on shots.
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 25 is of Warrior's own advancements and utilizes a flat spread tow weave, which provides strength by reducing fiber crimp and deformation during the composite layering process. This weave is thin and tight while still being resistant to damage.
The weave is paired with their shaft construction, known as the R.L. 188. A completely re-engineered construction that provides improved durability and weight reduction by using lower weight fibers and thermoplastic-toughened epoxy resin that creates a consistent level of balance, weight, and durability that the most elite players in the world expect from a stick.
The shaft also features an OG shaft shape, with flat side walls and rounded corners to provide a consistent feel and control for stickhandling, shooting, and passing.
Blade Construction/Stiffness
The polymer blade core is reinforced with Warrior's proprietary rib design which is a tough and durable design, made to last longer. It is wrapped with high-grade carbon fiber and Minimus Carbon 25 outer weave which created the most responsive blade in Warrior's stick lineup.
Graphics
The Novium2 Pro has a black base with hints of red seen on the Novium logo. It has holographic and reflective finishes found along the spine and in the Warrior logo. The carbon layering is visible at both the top of the shaft and the blade.
Blade Patterns, Flex & Stick Length
The Warrior Novium2 Pro Intermediate Hockey Stick comes in the following blade patterns: M03, W03, W28, W88, and W90T.
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. M03 is similar to the W03, but is just a bit taller for better control and power.
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 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 at stickhandling, quick wrist shots, and snappy backhands.
W90T is a hybrid of W03 and W28, it has the lie of the W03 and the toe of the W28. 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.
