The centerpiece of the new line is the new Supreme Ultrasonic. The Supreme Ultrasonic is the ultimate performance skate for the elite player, designed to maximize power and control. A 3D Lasted Carbon Curv composite boot stiffens the lower portion of the boot, allowing every push to build towards maximum energy transfer and faster straight line speed. Additionally, a power boot cut offers an increased wrap for optimal foot stability and support. It also features the Tuuk LS Pulse TI steel. A titanium coating gives it better edge retention and grip, providing more consistency during use, while maintaining speed. This new blade is also equipped with Bauer’s Power Profile*, which helps the player maintain speed and a more powerful stride. Finally, the Reflex Tendon Guard, Reflex PRO tongue, and Flex Facing all work together to improve range of motion. The Ultrasonic’s Flex Rating is 90, which is the most supportive boot, providing incredible stability for the elite skater.

Bauer’s New Power Quad Skate Profile
Bauer’s Power Profile is a 4 Zoned Radii, known as a Quad profile. The blade shape is designed with 4 zones uniquely placed and designed for specific performance improvements during all types of edge work.
• The first zone, located near the toe of the runner, is shaped to maximize acceleration. As the player begins their stride, the weight shifts over the top of the toes for the initial drive into the ice, utilizing a 6 inch radius.
• The second zone, known as the transition zone, sits on a 9 inch radius, which helps transition the players stride from rapid acceleration to measured, longer striding. The center of gravity shifts slightly back from the acceleration stride.
• The third zone, is the speed zone. Leveraging an 11 inch radius, the player is now maximizing their blade to ice contact for an efficient power transfer and straight line speed.
• The final zone, towards the heel of the blade, is the stability zone. This area holds the longest radius with 13 inches to provide balance as players shift between their edges when pivoting and absorbing contact.
A Guide to the New Bauer Skate Sizing: Science of Fit
Built from over 800,000 foot scans, Bauer has created a way for you to choose your skate “style” first, and “fit” second.
WHICH STYLE ARE YOU?
The Vapor collection is designed for players who put a premium on agility and lateral movement.
The Supreme collection is for players who value straight away speed and acceleration.
Each collection is available in 3 fits, so every foot shape is covered.
WHICH FIT ARE YOU?
FIT 1: Low volume, on the narrow side. Similar to a traditional Vapor fit.
FIT 2: Medium volume & width. Similar to a traditional Supreme fit.
FIT 3: High volume & wide width. Similar to a traditional Nexus fit.
Simply choose the style that fits your game, then choose the fit that best suits your foot. It’s that simple. If you have any questions just reach out to the experts at Sports Etc!

Bauer Vapor FlyLite Stick Available Now
When looking at the new Bauer Vapor FlyLite hockey stick, the feature that jumps out most is the new XE Elliptical Taper.
Based off the infamous Easton Elliptical taper, this new taper is narrower and oval shaped. This unique shape helps stabilize the lower portion of the stick and blade helping to improve accuracy and control during shooting.
The rounded corners will also improve strength at the lowest portion of the stick and lower the overall weight of the stick.
Stop in and check out the new Bauer Vapor FlyLite sticks in our Stick Cellar and try before you by in our shooting booth!

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

- 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
