Over the past six months or so, we have seen CCM really strengthen their product offerings with the new CCM U+ CL and U+ 12 skates, as well as adding a few new limited edition ‘Ovie’ products that have been pretty popular. Now CCM is preparing to release their all new 2011 CCM U+ Crazy Light hockey stick.
The 2011 Crazy Light stick will offer a few nice upgrades over the previous model. First and foremost, CCM re-designed the blade, which is going to result in a better feel for the puck, and increased durability. Blade durability has been a huge issue for me with one piece sticks, so I’m excited to see how CCM compares to the competition now. In addition, the new blade construction has created a sweet spot that runs from the heel to the toe, so no matter where you hit, you should be getting a hard, fast, and accurate shot.
NHL players must be happy with the new stick as well, as we’ve seen a few players make a switch. In fact, Niklas Kronwall of the Detroit Red Wings switched over to one earlier this season and hasn’t looked back. So if you’re looking for a new twig this spring, be sure to give new U+ CL a good look. You can pre-order one right now from Ice Warehouse for only $209.99. They will begin shipping orders on May 16th.

RS seems to be having some durability issues from some people online, despite HWB not having any real issues with the demo sticks provided. I think it comes down to preference, from the varying features, price, etc… What stick do you currently use?
