The CCM JetSpeed FT8 Pro Stick is engineered for the do-it-all playmaker, the player who demands peak performance on every shift, whether knifing through traffic like McDavid or unleashing bombs from the blue line. At a featherlight 368 grams (85 flex), it’s the lightest, most versatile JetSpeed yet, combining the incredibly popular versatile release with rock-solid durability and next-level feel.
This year’s game-changer, the Evo Blade fuses the buttery soft heel feel of the FT7 Pro with the FT6 Pro’s extra-stiff toe, giving you unmatched control on puckhandling and sniper-grade accuracy on every shot. And with new +1/4" curves, you get the height of a max-profile blade without the extra weight, so you'll have the advantage on faceoffs, tipping pucks and puck battles over the competition.
Inherited from CCM’s cutting-edge Vizion innovation series, AluPli Composite sandwiches ultra-thin aluminum into the shaft’s carbon shell, boosting slash protection by 8% and preventing crack growth by 20%. Paired with the new Sigma ST2X weave, an advanced fiber pattern that delivers rock-steady consistency and durability, this stick maintains its featherlight feel and elite strength from the first faceoff to the last buzzer.

| AluPli Composite This next-gen carbon hybrid incorporates aluminum layers outside of the fiber construction like an outer shell, for significantly better slash protection and 20% less crack propagation over time for improved durability. | |
| Sigma ST2X Carbon Fiber Redefining consistency and stability, this new fiber pattern seen in the blade delivery better consistency and stability on every pass, shot and dangle. |

Sizing Chart
| GENERAL STICK FLEX AND SIZING RECOMMENDATION | |
|---|---|
| We recommend choosing the hockey stick flex that puts your specific height and weight at the middlemost point in both categories. A common rule of thumb is to select a flex rating by dividing your body weight in two and subtracting another 10-15 flex points. See the flex chart and articles below for more detailed information on sizing and selecting hockey sticks. |
