Brian’s G-NETik IV Pro Goalie Gear
The latest generation of the ultra popular Brian’s G-Netik family of goalie gear is here! While remaining true to the G-Netik concept of softer, more “traditional flex, the new pads add the feature of more torsional flex than any other Brian’s model. Add to that all the modern features you’ve come to expect from Brian’s like simplified Smart Straps and Smart Cord boot strapping.
Pads-
- Smart cord
- Pro 2 Knee Pad System – Compatible with included Pro 2 Knee Pad, can be worn attached to pad or independent
- E-FOAM Technology – Lightweight foam used throughout pro products
- Smart boot
- Primo – Brian’s popular material known for its durability, produces a strong, smooth sliding surface
- Binding-less inside gusset – Creates less drag when sliding across ice, especially on snowy ice late in the game
- Firmer foam – Designed with higher density foam to create a firmer sliding surface
- Laced-in knee block – Reduces drag by creating a more solid connection point for the knee stack, keeping it from fighting the pad while driving the knee pad into the ice
- Torsion Flex Technology
- Internal knee rolls
The catcher and blocker remain true to their progenitors but incorporate the exciting BOA System that made the OPTiK series the talk of the goalie world
Catcher-
- BOA System – The placement of two individual BOA dials allows for the tension level on the hand and wrist to be customized ensuring the desired feel stays consistent all game
- Back-Hand – Tension keeps the hand secure over the break of the glove
- Wrist – Tension secures wrist pad as tight as desired without straps hanging sloppy out of the glove. The floating wrist pad ensures movement and wrist flex is fully attainable
- HEX-AIR – The floating wrist pad features HEX-AIR for increased comfort and air flow
- Digitech palm
- E-FOAM Technology – Lightweight foam used throughout pro products
- Double T
- 35° break angle
- True 1 piece cuff
- Redesigned closure – The glove has been completely re-designed on the backside to help enhance the closure and allow the glove backside to work in unison with the catching side. The glove also features a unique combination of lightweight materials to give the glove a much lighter, balanced feel
- Flat fingers
- Segmented back hand
- Elastic/Velcro back hand access
Blocker-
- BOA System – Replacing traditional backhand strapping, the BOA System allows the user to dial in a custom fit ensuring a secure, comfortable and consistent feel
- Beveled nose
- Digitech palm

Create New Goals With The CCM Ribcor Trigger 3D!
The CCM Ribcor line has been a favorite amongst the “low kick” crowd for years now. With the launch of the Ribcor Trigger 3D we see some major changes in technology without affecting the long time appeal. CCM used an all-new speared shaft construction and X-Flow Resin Technology that significantly improves energy transfer, durability and overall playability. The unique RibCor Shaft Geometry is much more gradual this year, which better allows energy to transfer through the stick and into the puck for a quicker, harder shot release. Here are the specs-
- Construction:
- Speared one-piece construction with Sigmatex 18K Carbon Fiber
- Flatter, spread two weave that is lighter, stronger and more responsive than ever before
- Provides a superb level of durability, strength, and stiffness in the lower hosel area
- New speared construction provides a more direct feel for the puck and more efficient transfer of energy through each shot
- Enhanced RibCor Pop Matrix Technology
- Smoother integrated of the Pop Matrix allows for a more effective energy transfer
- Optimized construction keeps performance fibers in permanent tension while the shaft corners help to protect them
- Performance fibers have been re-engineered to deliver an even quicker shot release and a more efficient energy transfer process than the previous generations
- X-Flow Technology
- New manufacturing process that provides better a strength-to-weight ratio by using less resin and more carbon fiber
- Speared one-piece construction with Sigmatex 18K Carbon Fiber
- Flex Profile:
- Optimized Low-kick Point
- Ideal for the “finesse” shooter who’s looking to get a shot off as quick as possible
- Enables for the x and y-axis of the stick to unload at the same time for better efficiency and effectiveness
- Optimized Low-kick Point
- Geometry:
- Straight sidewalls with rounded corners
- Grip:
- Grip stick coating
- Blade:
- Ascent Blade 3 Construction with tactile blade surface
- Soft heel that gradually gets stiffer as it nears the toe for excellent puck feel for stickhandling and deadly accuracy when shooting
- Ultra-lightweight design raises the balance point for enhanced playability
- Aramid fiber reinforced heel and toe for significant durability improvements
- Ascent Blade 3 Construction with tactile blade surface
CCM Ribcor Trigger 3D is available for purchase 11/2/18
Introducing Bauer Supreme 2S Pro Stick- Welcome To Boomtown!
The new Bauer Supreme 2S Pro stick continues the legacy of the Bauer “power” line. The shaft will also continue to use TeXtreme carbon fiber, but will now include a new DuraFlex resin system which will help lead to a stronger and more durable shaft. Maximum Power Kick flex profile that we’re now familiar with on the Supreme line. The MPK flex profile leads to a 14% more energy stored during a shot while 20% more power is unloaded due to the stiffer and thicker lower third of the shaft and more flexible upper handle. Bauer has also upgraded the blade with Advanced Carbon Layering, which involves optimizing the fiber placement in order to improve durability and the strength to weight ratio. Here are the specs-
- Construction:
- Lightweight TeXtreme® Carbon Fiber
- TeXtreme® is 20% lighter and manages impact stresses 20% better than traditional carbon fiber
- Monocomp Technology
- True one-piece compression molding process, eliminates “fusion” or connection point between shaft and blade
- Gives players an unreal responsive and consistent feel from top to bottom
- Best process available for a lightweight and balanced hockey stick
- Duraflex Resin
- Next-generation shaft resin that focuses on handling stresses from impacts and flex
- Provides better durability causing by continually bowing out the stick as players trend down in flex rating
- Lightweight TeXtreme® Carbon Fiber
- Flex Profile:
- Supreme Power Taper
- The .520 power taper boost torsional stiffness to maximize loading with less torquing and twisting for better control and precision
- Maximum Power Kick (MPK) Mid-Flex Profile with an Extended Transfer Zone
- 11% more effective Transfer Zone provides the same big-time shot power but is now much more efficient on the quicker releasing snap and wrist shots
- The re-engineered mid kick point was designed to release more energy, more efficiently
- Lower 1/3rd of the stick is stiffer and thicker than before, which helps to push the kick point higher
- Supreme Power Taper
- Geometry:
- Squared corners with straight sidewalls
- Offers a traditional, boxy feel in the hands for maximum grip
- Squared corners with straight sidewalls
- Grip:
- Tacky grip finish
- Blade:
- RenewCore with TeXtreme 18K Carbon fiber
- Provides next-level durability and shot power with a pressurized, liquid state gel core
- As cracks begin to form inside of the blade, the pressurized gel fills them in to help provide support and strength for a longer lasting entire blade
- The gel’s unique properties increase shot power and overall puck feel by absorbing the energy and directly returning it into the puck
- Provides next-level durability and shot power with a pressurized, liquid state gel core
- ACL (Advanced Carbon Layering) Technology
- 13% thinner internal carbon layers with more fiber angles reduce weight without sacrificing strength
- Advanced design technique with an optimized fiber placement increases durability and strength-to-weight ratios
- eLASTech Technology
- Proprietary resin with carbon nanotubes reinforcements and tougheners that provide a 56% increase in strength compared to standard resin
- Extends the life of the stick by helping to keep micro-fractures from growing and spreading
