Pick the CCM Vizion 25 Senior

  • You have the budget and want elite performance with the fastest release in CCM's lineup
  • You're willing to adapt to a 5-sided shaft for better ergonomics and less wrist strain
  • You value a lighter stick (370g vs 478g is noticeable) and want low kick point for quick snapshots and wristers
