Pick the Bauer Nexus Sync

  • You are a senior player who wants elite-level puck feel and the lightest Nexus ever built

Pick the CCM JetSpeed FT8S Junior

  • You are a junior player in AA, AAA, or travel hockey on a tighter budget
  • You want a competitive hybrid kick stick without paying elite-level prices
  • The CA$220 price point makes more sense given how fast junior players outgrow equipment
