Release speed is the name of the game when it comes to CCM's RIBCOR 86K hockey stick, a state-of-the-art piece of technology that's designed for maximized energy transfer and optimized stiffness. With an Ascent 2 blade and the RIBCOR 86K's unique proprietary E-shape geometry, you're going to see a net increase in puck feel, shot speed and puck release.
