These offer a moderately stiff boot that balances support with mobility. You can swiftly change direction, make sudden moves, and accelerate rapidly with these skates.

The CCM U+ Crazy Light hockey stick is one of the lightest hockey sticks on the market. Upon picking up a U+ CL you instantly see why CCM has called this stick the Crazy Light.
CCM has constructed the U+ Crazy Light out of multiple layers of high-grade carbon fiber to reduce weight and maintain performance and durability. What sets this stick apart from others on the market is how CCM has been able to construct a stick at this weight and without compromising the performance. The extremely lightweight feel offers better puck feel and balance, quicker reaction time, faster swing speed, and hopefully more pucks in the back of the net.
CCM has redesigned the blade of the Crazy Light stick to offer increased feel and durability. Two vertical and parallel carbon bridges run the length of the blade, enhancing the sweet spot from the heel all the way to the toe for the most forgiving blade in hockey.

Previous Feedback
Comments: I just ordered this stick with the Thornton curve to upgrade from an Easton EQ20 and upon opening the box, it's extremely light. The blade has a nice pop to it. To me, it makes passing and receiving passes easier. My shots are definitely a lot quicker and getting some air under the puck is significantly easier. With the low price, I'd definitely order it again.
