Hockey is a beautiful game, in which people from all over the world partake in. Brands such as Warrior, Bauer, CCM, and True, all fight for the spot of best hockey equipment. They have their similarities, but they also have many differences.
Amongst all of the different brands there is one that shines through as my personal preference. Warrior hockey sticks are an above average, well priced stick, that gives you everything required for them to be considered a top of the line stick. I started using Warrior back in 2016, and I haven’t looked back.
If you are looking for an above average stick that you can get for a price that is worth it, Warrior should be your go to. Warrior Covert QRL is currently the best hockey stick you can buy, and it is only around 150$. I have used warriors for just over two years, and have only broke a single stick. These sticks are built to last, and built to improve your game. On average, Warrior brings in 25 million dollars per season, so they have enough revenue to keep producing quality equipment.
Warrior also makes protective equipment, like gloves, helmets, and more. Warrior is an all around above average brand that many players - such as myself - enjoy using. Your typical Warrior hockey stick will cost between 80-300 dollars, depending on what you are willing to spend could potentially increase or decrease the quality.
I currently own a Warrior stick (as stated before) as well as a set of Warrior gloves. Warrior gloves are (in my opinion) the best gloves that you can buy. They are extremely light, and are very malleable, which helps greatly when it comes to stickhandling, and shooting. Many gloves come stiff and take weeks to break in, but Warrior has bypassed that and have made it feel like they are that perfect pair of gloves you were always looking for. The gloves also help enhance the stupendous feel of the stick in your hands.
Warrior does have its downsides though. Many of the helmets and body protection are not at the same level of quality as the sticks and gloves. Most people, including myself, use the brand Bauer for helmets and body equipment. Bauer is another top of the line brand, which is where I have my skates, helmet, shin-pads, shoulder pads, and elbow pads from. Warriors biggest competition is undoubtedly Bauer along with CCM; these three are hockey's biggest competitors, and put the Toronto Maple Leafs VS Montreal Canadiens rivalry to shame.
Warrior is the best brand in the hockey world, and is still continuing to improve and produce better equipment.
