Pick the Bauer Proto2

  • Budget allows and you want the latest boron fiber tech for extra durability

Pick the CCM Ribcor Trigger 9

  • You're a forward focused on quick-release shots in transition and off the rush
  • You need to save money and don't mind the 25g weight penalty for half the price
  • You prefer a low kick that snaps the puck out faster than a mid-kick design
