The Bauer Proto2 is built for versatile shooters who want premium lightweight performance, while the CCM Ribcor Trigger 9 targets forwards prioritizing quick release over premium materials.
Key differences:
Verdict: Pick the Proto2 if you're an advanced player who shoots from everywhere, values premium lightweight feel, and can justify the price premium. Pick the Trigger 9 if you're a forward who prioritizes quick wrist shots and snap shots in stride, wants proven low-kick performance, and prefers spending half the money on a reliable workhorse stick.
