The CCM RibCor Trigger 9 Stick sets a new standard for elite performance in the low-kick stick category. Weighing in at just 416 grams (85 flex), it's not only lighter but also more affordable than the previous Trigger 8, all while maintaining the same lightning-fast, effortless shot release.
Crafted with CCM's Pure Carbon technology, the Trigger 9 features unidirectional carbon fiber throughout, offering top-tier durability and responsiveness.

The rounded upper handle provides full wrist mobility for stickhandling, the square middle section enhances control and accuracy, and the lower third generates the efficient shot release that has made RibCor a standout in the industry.
The Agility 2 blade core, combined with Sigmatex carbon fiber, takes puck feel and connectedness to new heights. This advanced blade design delivers immediate feedback to your hands, ensuring a well-balanced feel and precise control that truly elevates your game.

Sizing Chart
| GENERAL STICK FLEX AND SIZING RECOMMENDATION | |
|---|---|
| We recommend choosing the hockey stick flex that puts your specific height and weight at the middlemost point in both categories. A common rule of thumb is to select a flex rating by dividing your body weight in two and subtracting another 10-15 flex points. See the flex chart and articles below for more detailed information on sizing and selecting hockey sticks. |
