The Raven Hockey Difference

While it seems every hockey stick company is offering a multiple flex/height line of sticks for younger players, the simple truth is Raven Hockey is still the only company making stick ONLY for kids. From day 1 the Raven philosophy has simple- All Hockey Players should be using a stick with a Flex Rating that equals less than 50% of your their body weight!

Beyond just the flex story, Raven sticks are constructed in a way similar to how high end adult sticks are made so they offer unbelievable performance as well as the perfect flex point

The flagship of the Raven line is the Edge. The Edge is the latest iteration of the stick that put Raven on the map. With a shaft constructed of 3K Carbon and a blade of 25X Blackmond. This stick is everything a young player could ask for and more

The Ninja 3 has a shaft and blade made of 25X Carbon for a slightly lighter overall package and a little stiffer blade. While great for any player, we’d recommend this more in the 40 and 50 flexes.

There are many sticks on the market geared towards younger, developing players but there is still only one company that makes nothing else but sticks for younger players.

Bauer NME IX Goalie Mask

If you asked most goalies what mask was the best combination of fit, protection and value, most would tell you the Bauer NME 8 (and the NME 7 before that). With that in mind, Bauer introduced the new NME IX with a focus on improving areas of comfort, fit and protection.

Most of the focus of the NME IX goes into the new liner which is made up of 3 different types of foam.  Located in the most important impact areas, Poron XRD and IX foam provide unreal impact protection and comfort for the player. VTX Technology makes up the rest of the liner, which is a much lighter foam to reduce weight, while at the same time boosting protection.

Bauer also addressed a glaring omission by adding a new size, FIT 0.5, for younger goalies or goalies with smaller heads that are looking for next level protection.

The Bauer NME IX goalie mask continues the NME 8 legacy of offering the best performance to value ratio in hockey!

Bauer Re-Akt 150 Helmet- Now Everyone Fits In!

When Bauer released the original Re-Akt hockey helmet it was groundbreaking on many levels, particularly in how it addressed rotational, as well as linear impact. On top of that, it also checked the boxes for “mirror test” and comfort factor. The only minor complaint was it tended to fit a certain head shape. With the introduction of the Re-Akt 150, all that changes.

The brand new FreeForm Adjustment System provides independent length and width adjustment for a truly personalized fit. This system offers up to 18mm of width adjustment, which is 250% more than any other Bauer helmet. The Comfort Pod liner system uses a hinged pod design to adapt to your head shape for comfort.

A layered construction of IX and XRD foam for both high and low energy impacts. Lightweight VTX foam assists in all-around impact protection as well.

So, to summarize- Great protection, Great comfort, Great fit! Stop in and try one on and check out our great selection of colors!
