The Ribcor Platinum hockey stick is a Source for Sports exclusive stick that offers many of CCM’s most elite technologies at a more affordable price point.
Stick Flex Profile
The Ribcor Platinum 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
The shaft is a traditional square shape with rounded corners to better fit young hockey players hands. This approach helps increase your control over the stick while also helping the stick load better.
Blade Construction
To allow low kick point sticks to be a bit whippier near the bottom without losing control, the blade requires a bit more stiffness than other sticks. The 84K uses a C6 weave with Peel-Ply in the blade to achieve this effect, with a combination of carbon and fibreglass to further enhance durability as well. The Peel-Ply wraps protectively around the blade for even more increased durability.

Grip
