Intro & New Features

Last on CCM’s upgrade list for sticks in 2022 is the Trigger 7 Pro. This stick looks to offer a lighter weight, quicker release, and overall enhanced performance from its predecessor by combining the tech that worked with some brand new innovations. The tech in the Trigger 7 series is some of the best CCM has to offer for low kick point sticks, including Nanolite Carbon Layering, a unique Ergonomic “E” geometry, and a brand new Sigma STP carbon weave.

Stick Flex Profile

The Trigger 7 Pro is part of the Ribcor family, which is CCM’s low kick point stick family. These sticks gradually get softer toward the blade and bend closer to the hosel, a design that helps them load shots as quickly and easily as possible. This style specializes in quick-release shots and is equipped with various features to support this specific kick point.

Shaft Construction & Stiffness

Returning tech to the Ribcor family includes Nanolite Carbon Layering and an Ergonomic “E” shaft geometry. Nanolite Carbon Layering is a high-quality carbon layering technique that both enhances load efficiency and increases durability. The Ergonomic shaft means that the shaft changes shape across the length of the stick, starting out more traditional at the top and becoming more asymmetrical near the bottom. This approach helps increase your control over the stick while also helping the stick load better.

A big upgrade on the Trigger 7 Pro is the new Sigma STP carbon weave, which was developed with hockey players in mind. This weave works closely with the Nanolite Carbon Layering to further increase the sticks’ durability and balance.

Blade Construction

Like the shaft, the blade is also made using a new Sigma STP spread tow carbon weave for better balance and durability. A bit higher up at the hosel, CCM included their Skeleton+ taper technology, returning from its introduction in the Trigger 6 Pro. This taper compresses more of the carbon materials in that area, resulting in more durability and efficiency when loading without adding any weight.

In terms of the blade itself, the Trigger 7 Pro uses an Agility 2 blade with Peel-Ply, a direct upgrade from the previous Agility blade found in the Trigger 6 Pro. The Agility 2 blade takes advantage of the new Sigma STP carbon weave to provide a better feel and release speed.

Graphics

CCM has been adjusting their designs for all their equipment lines this 2022 season, and Ribcor is no different. With one of the more drastic changes this year, CCM has scrapped the classic green for a black and iridescent purple colour scheme. The Ribcor text logo has also gone through some more modernized changes.

Grip

The Trigger 7 Pro uses a Trigger Microfeel 2 grip, which is tactile, curved, and raised strategically for an even better stick feel while you play.

Blade Patterns, Flex & Stick Length

The Ribcor Trigger 7 Pro Senior hockey stick is available in the following blade patterns: P28, P29, P88, and P90TM.

P28 is a much more aggressive stick pattern, used often by elite players. This blade curve specializes in quick and accurate shots, but it can be a bit difficult to get used to since it is also very good at raising the puck.

P29 is the best blade pattern for all-around play, with a mid-curve style. It is great at handling the puck in small spaces, including face-offs. This curve may suffer a little bit on the backhand. Due to its balanced design, this pattern can be described as the perfect beginner blade.

P88 is a relatively traditional curve. A popular choice in the past, it excels greatly in stickhandling, quick wrist shots, and controlling snap shots.

P90TM is a hybrid of CCM’s P29 and P28 stick curves, with the lie of the P29 and the toe of the P28. Additionally, the curve is a bit taller for more control and power on faceoffs and board battles.
