Best Price Promise
The Warrior Ritual V2 E+ INT Composite Goalie Stick is a balance between performance and durability. It has Minimus Carbon throughout and many of the same features found on its big brothers the V2 Pro and V2 Pro+. These features include SlideGrip, VibexLite, Impact Fiber Layer and a TwinSpar Paddle. This stick is a great alternative to the Pro models.
Shaft Construction
The shaft of the E+ uses much of the same tech from the V2 Pro and V2 Pro+. This includes the Impact Fiber Layer which improves the durability of the shaft from direct shots. The shaft also utilizes HiFused construction which improves the balance of the stick so that it feels much lighter. Finally, the VibexLite technology that runs from tip to toe dampens vibrations especially when compared to other composite sticks.
Paddle Construction
The paddle of the V2 E+ includes TwinSpar technology that creates a durable and stiff shaft to help with shooting by creating more pop when flexed. The Minimus Carbon that is used in the construction of the entire stick also creates a light platform that has great feel because of the VibexLite technology as well.
Blade Construction/Stiffness
The stiff blade of the V2 E+ is made with the same Minimus Carbon as the rest of the stick. Material consistency from top to bottom eliminates weak points and keeps a solid feel when directing pucks to the corners.
Graphics
The V2 E+ goalie stick is available in 4 different colourways, Black/Silver, White/Black, White/Red, White/Royal.
Grip
The SlideGrip on the V2 E+ is one of the best features for goalies that like to poke check. With a matte finish shaft, as well as a rigid side, the stick is free to slide in the palm of your blocker. The hand section at the top of the paddle is a raised tacky grip zone that allows you to have a solid amount of control during regular play.

Goalie Stick Sizing Information
Unlike other pieces of gear, Goalie Sticks are sized mostly to the goaltender’s preference and playing style rather than their height. The most important measurement, when purchasing a new goal stick, is the paddle height (the wide portion of the stick), which is usually taken from the heel of the stick to the shaft/paddle interface. The reason for the paddle height’s significance is because it sets up the goaltender’s depth in the ready stance and (if properly sized) positions the blocker in an optimal position.
Sizing Your Goalie Stick
To start analyzing the size of your goalie stick, put on your goalie skates to get an accurate height of where you will be in your stance. If you’re looking to be even more accurate, strap on your goalie pads and blocker as well. Once that is done, get comfortable in your natural stance (the one you’d be in during a majority of gameplay) and look for the following:
1. The entire blade of the stick is flush with the ground while being 1’ - 2’ in front of your feet
2. After getting your stick into the flush position, check that the inside edge of the blocker hand sits on the outside edge of the goal pad (this is while holding just above the paddle).
Goalie Stick Sizing Considerations
Goalie Stick sizing can be very subjective compared to other pieces of equipment. The reason for this is the ambiguity of each goaltenders ‘natural stance’, especially with younger goaltenders. It is rather common for children to use taller sticks in comparison to their height, as their stance depth isn’t usually as aggressive as a seasoned goalie.
The shaft length of a goalie stick is usually best left at its stock length, as it serves to counteract the weight of the blade and ideally place the center of gravity at the top of the paddle. The one exception to this rule is for advanced puck handlers, cutting the shaft will allow more power transfer when shooting as a result of being able to keep the blade flush to the ice while near the goaltender’s feet.
