Introducing TOVI Hockey Sticks
While the current generation of composite hockey sticks perform at a level previously unheard of, it’s been a while since we’ve seen anything totally unique. Then along comes TOVI Hockey. These aren’t just different, they’re radically different. And it all starts with the DiamondAire Blade
The DiamondAire BLADE has an intricate, carbon fiber compression molding process never before used in hockey sticks, which creates a multi-directional fiber orientation in the blade. Our carbon fiber material has passed 1,000,000 cycle tests – meaning that it will never lose its “pop” like other composite sticks. This unique technology, coupled with the added strength of a patented cross beam construction, has eliminated the need for a blade core and allows TOVI Hockey to perforate the blade for better aerodynamics and puck feel. This outside-the-box approach to blade design and construction increases players’ swing speed, enhances durability, and yields the most amazing “feel” and puck control ever seen in the game of hockey.
The TOVI Mirage is the flagship model and features the shaft shape and low kick point of the popular Bauer Vapor series. It is available in 65, 75, and 85 flex and in the popular 92, 88, and 28 curve patterns
Come in and check out the TOVI Mirage and take some test shots in our Stick Cellar!
Warrior Fantom QRE

Enigma Carbon– 25K flat weave carbon is the lightest and most dynamic ever used on a Warrior stick
True 1 Shadow Feel– Lightest, strongest true 1-piece construction to date creates enhanced balance, control and response
Edge Taper– New angular Edge Taper drives flex energy through the hosel magnifying power and quick release
We have a very, very limited amount of Fantom QRE in stock so hurry because when they’re go, they’re gone for good
New Bauer Vapor 2x Pro Goalie Gear Available Now!
Reach a new level of speed on the ice. The new C.O.R.T.E.C.H ST skin is improved for better slide, durability and faster rebounds. And the Dynamic Flex core gives the pads a flexible feel above and below the knee.
Supreme vs. Vapor Goalie Pads: Supreme pads feature a single break below the knee with a stiff, fused boot for goalies who like technical and precise movements. Vapor pads have a double break above and below the knee with soft boot flex. Perfect for agile, reactive goalies.
Constructed with Curv® composite and XRD® foam, the new deep single T, and catch grip pro palm, this glove gives a better grip and feel when making saves. The new max-depth pocket allows for a better “stick” once the puck hits the glove.
The new thin tapered Curv Composite provides a lightweight feel, and incredible durability from repeated shots.
The Bauer Vapor 2X Pro chest protector has new adjustability in the stomach and arms for enhanced mobility, and has overall increased protection from previous models. High-end Curv Composite construction adds unmatched protection throughout the chest and arms.
The Bauer Vapor 2x goalie skate is lightweight, mobile and protective— perfect for goalies who are quick on their feet. Designed to bring a new level of agility to the game’s most dynamic goalies. The Dynamic Tongue Flex molded insert gives goalies an edge by acting like a spring to move them forward into their stance. The Curv™Composite Quarter and Composite Outsole on the VAPOR 2X goal skate reduces weight, increasing stiffness for better weight transfer and increased quickness. The Vertexx Edge holder is a goalie-specific holder that eliminates the cowling and adds extra height, giving it a superior attack angle. The LS5 Carbon Steel is the strongest steel on the market today.
The Bauer Vapor 2X Pro Senior composite goalie stick is an elite level goalie stick that emphasizes durability. Optimized flex profile also makes it easier to play the puck.
Hit The Street! Great Off-Ice Training Gear
While we may be in the “offseason”, and ice time is at a minimum, that is no excuse to let your game lapse. There are many great options available for off-ice training from roller hockey skates to nets to rebounders and more! Here’s a few great options-
Bauer Roller Hockey Skates
This is where every off-ice regimen should start. A set of roller hockey skates will allow you to most closely emulate the movement, speed and muscle memory of ice skates.
Boomerang Passer
Year in and year out this remains our best selling and most versatile passing/shooting tool. Whether looking to work on your stickhandling, passing, or passing and shooting, the Boomerang Passer is the one for you.
Snipers Edge Dryland Training Gear
Snipers Edge offers everything from shooting tiles to rebounders to shooting tarps and everything in between. If it helps to improve your game, Snipers Edge makes it!
We also have a great selection of street and roller hockey sticks, pucks, and balls, hockey goals, stick handling pucks and balls and much more.
The New CCM Jetspeed FT2 Hockey Skates
Coming April 26, 2019! The newest skate in the Jetspeed line has undergone some significant changes. Most notably, the CCM Jetspeed FT2 has an enhanced one-piece boot, SpeedBlade XS quick-release holder and SpeedBlade XS1 Black (+2mm) steel.
The LiteFrame 360 EVO is a significant upgrade from the previous generation FT1. The seamless one-piece boot contains no outsole, stitching or glue, which creates a high energy transfer zone essentially becoming a natural extension of the skaters foot.
The SpeedBlade XS holder was developed as a quick, easy-to-use system to swap blades out on the fly. The BladeLock technology consists of a positive-lock mechanism that improves on “spring-lock” systems. The holder prevents blades from loosening or accidentally disconnecting from the holder.
The SpeedBlade XS Black (+2mm) steel is a premium oxide blade that holds a longer edge with higher resistance to corrosion. The 12% additional height over standard blades allows for tighter turns and performance.
Sports Etc Performance-to-Value Rating: 10 out of 10. CCM now offers the only true one-piece boot on the market, and adds to it a high performance steel and a quick-release holder that allows players to change steel on the fly.
Available April 26, 2019!

2019 Staff Stick Recommendations For Tourney Time
There is no more important time of year for a hockey player than tournament time! Tournament time is the culmination of the season. It also tends to be the time of the year when your stick has seen better days after numerous slappers, blocks and slashes. Fear not, this is a great time to consider a new stick and we have a few recommendations to narrow down the choices.
Bauer Nexus 2N Pro– This premium, pro level stick is the latest version of the Bauer Nexus line. Nexus stands out as the first of the “Hybrid Flex” sticks featuring a mid-kick point and Sweet Spot Technology for a natural flex. This is Bauer’s most versatile, elite stick.
Warrior QX Pro– A staff favorite for overall performance-to-value in a pro stick. This is the same stick used by junior hockey and college hockey teams. They are exceptionally lightweight and durable, and are offered in an extra tall. The QX line offers a “natural flex” coupled with the Saber Taper and Minimus Carbon 800 for a versatile, high performance experience. Compare this stick to sticks that cost $80-$100 more and you’ll have a new favorite too!
Warrior QRE Pro– Another staff favorite for overall performance-to-value in a pro stick. This is the same stick used by junior hockey and college hockey teams. They are exceptionally lightweight and durable, and are offered in an “extra tall.” The QR line offers a low kick point, the most popular kick point in hockey, coupled with the unique Edge Taper and Minimus Carbon 1000 for a high performance, quick release stick. Compare this stick to sticks that cost $80-$100 more and you’ll have a new favorite too!
CCM SuperTacks AS1– The new SuperTacks AS1 pushes the boundaries of performance and will become the new standard for Mid-Kick point sticks. The stiffness profile has been revisited to maximize loading while providing great stability and control. Not only can players benefit from a great, powerful stick, the feel has been substantially improved. The new X-Flow technology allows for a 10g weight reduction while improving compaction for better durability.
CCM Tacks 9080– Another stick that rates highly in the performance-to-value ratio. Featuring the same mid-kick, maximum loading taper and intermediate geometry as the AS1 in a more affordable stick. At nearly 1/2 the price of an elite stick, this is one of the best deals around.
