Pick the CCM JetSpeed FT8S Junior

  • You're a junior player who needs room to grow into the stick without overcommitting to one flex
  • You want to test different blade patterns (P90TM, P28, P29) without buying multiple sticks
  • You prefer a hybrid kick that balances quick releases with decent shot power

Pick the True Catalyst 9X3 Pro Stock Tomas Lavoie

  • You're strong enough for 105 flex and already know you like a mid-kick for powerful shots
  • You want authentic NHL-level construction at a significantly lower price point
  • You're committed to the TC4 curve and won't need to experiment with other patterns
