Sports major Reebok CCM Hockey has joined hands with carbon fibre composite manufacturer Sigmatex for a line of premium hockey sticks which incorporate Sigmatex’s SigmaST fabric.

Driven by weight reduction and strength objectives, the range utilises Sigmatex’s sigmaST fabric which is 20 per cent lighter than traditional carbon fibre fabrics and has an excellent strength to weight ratio. Sigmatex’s sigmaST gives the hockey sticks a unique shelf appeal with lightweight stick which maintains durability and has a high impact tolerance.

“Using sigmaST has empowered us to produce a lighter stick which still maintains the overall strength and performance required. We chose to work with Sigmatex because of their proven capability in the sports and leisure sector to create innovative composite solutions. We have been able to build hockey sticks which outperform their predecessors not just from a weight perspective, but also in terms of strength and durability,” said the press release.

The sticks will be distributed globally in professional leagues across the world including the National, American, Canadian and Swedish hockey leagues. (NA)
