CCM RibCor Trigger 8 Pro Hockey Stick
The CCM RibCor Trigger 8 Pro hockey stick is a top-of-the-line model which builds upon the series' legacy by prioritizing a fast and agile shot. A key selling point is the low-kick flex profile, allowing players to load energy efficiently with a short, quick movement, ideal for generating snap shots and one-timers. The RibCor Trigger 8 Pro features the innovative Dual-Feel blade technology with a foam insert in the heel for improved puck feel and better control over passes and dangles. CCM equips this stick with a Trigger Microfeel grip for exceptional feel and control, along with a high-performance construction designed for durability.
Key features include:
| Low Kick Point | Allows for faster loading and a quicker release for agile shots. |
| Nanolite Shield Technology | A carbon layering technology which helps create a lightweight stick that maintains exceptional durability. |
| Dual-Feel Blade with PowerCore Technology | A stiff flex zone in the toe for powerful shots with a softer heel section for improved puck feel and control. |
| Ergonomic Shaft Design | Provides a more natural feel for a better grip and more efficient energy transfer. |
| Sigmatex and Advanced Carbon Layering | Lightweight carbon fibers combine with a dynamic layering technique within the shaft to keep the stick strong, durable, and agile. |
| Skeleton+ Technology | Improves hosel and taper strength for a lightweight, durable stick that has a greater energy transfer from blade to puck. |

Progression of the CCM RibCor Trigger 8
The Ribcor Trigger 8 Pro was preceded by the Trigger 7 Pro. It features a few upgrades over its predecessor:

- Nanolite shield: This new shaft design optimizes thicker carbon layers around a lightweight core to create a stronger stick that remains nimble.
| 👍 Pros |
|---|
| I love the flex, feel and soft spot near the heel for receiving hard passes. |
| The puck feel and the balanced release point makes it a top of the line stick. |
| Love the softer blade feels. Puck flies off the stick with minimal effort. |
| 👎 Cons |
|---|
| Complete Garbage for durability. Do not buy! |
| I bought one stick and it broke, bought one more and it broke in the same spot. |
| Stick didn't even make it 4 periods of 12u hockey, disappointing. |
The Trigger 8 Pro represents everything CCM has to throw into its battle with the Bauer Vapor. It's great for players who want a quick release, accuracy, and puck feel. Its improvements in durability address previous concerns, making the Trigger 8 Pro a strong contender in the high-end hockey stick market. The low kickpoint allows for rapid shot execution, ideal for players who often find themselves in tight spaces needing to get shots off quickly.
