Warrior offers a wide range of sticks, from the high-performance Alpha series to the more affordable Rise series. We collaborate with players and gear experts to review each stick based on weight (fast handling vs. power), response (how quickly the stick flexes and releases energy), and feel (how comfortable the stick feels in the hands). Rankings are updated weekly based on SidelineSwap sales data.
The Warrior Covert QR6 Pro is a high-performance hockey stick that features Innovative Edge Taper technology that drives flex energy through the hosel, resulting in explosive power and rapid release. The Minimus Carbon 25 construction, featuring a flat spread-tow material, delivers exceptional strength and lightweight performance.
The Warrior Alpha LX2 Pro hockey stick features the exclusive Sabre Taper for quick releases and powerful shots. This stick combines exceptional performance with durability. The RLC 188 Lightweight Construction, utilizing Minimus Carbon 25 weave, delivers an incredibly light and tough shaft. The redesigned FuelCore Ultra blade enhances puck feel and pop, while the ergonomic shaft shape provides comfort and control.
The Warrior Covert QR5 20 is a high-performance hockey stick that features the Minimus Carbon UD shaft that makes the stick incredibly lightweight and durable, providing optimal performance and feel. The FuelCore Pro blade, with its lightweight polymer core and Minimus Carbon 6 weave, enhances puck feel and durability.
The Warrior Super Novium hockey stick continues Warrior's innovative legacy with its lightweight design and powerful shots. It is the lightest stick Warrior has made, featuring Minimus Carbon 25 material and RL 199 construction in the shaft. The Bevel Taper design enhances control and shot velocity, while the FuelCore T blade improves puck feel with its lightweight core and textured finish.
The Super Novium has a mid-kick point and balances quick release and power generation, making it great for snapshots and slap shots. Thanks to its high-grade carbon fiber construction, the Novium has an excellent puck feel during stickhandling and passing. The Minimus Carbon 1000 technology seems to have improved the stick's durability compared to some earlier Warrior models. However, as with all high-performance sticks, longevity can vary based on usage intensity and player style.

The Warrior Alpha LX Pro hockey stick is designed for powerful, accurate shots, featuring the Sabre Taper II design for a low kick point and stable shaft. This enables effective slap shots and quick wrist shots. It's made with a lightweight, durable construction using high-grade carbon composites, and the FuelCore Ultra blade provides a good balance of durability and puck control.
The Alpha LX Pro uses the saber taper, a fixture of Warrior's low kickpoint sticks. Saber taper is a longer, more aggressive taper from the hosel down to the blade versus your traditional stick, which starts to taper pretty low. The Warrior taper starts a bit higher to give more movement into that low kickpoint stick. Also, Warrior has used minimus carbon construction for a very long time and their sticks are super light and strong.
