Intro & New Features

With a new hockey season comes the debut of Warriors new mid kick stick family, Novium. Sitting with a kick point somewhere between their low-mid Alpha line and the late Dynasty high kick line, Novium looks to empower your shots with a more modern and innovative design. This iteration of the mid kick hockey stick comes equipped with a Bevel taper, a Minimus Carbon UD weave, RLC 133 technology, and a Fuelcore blade.

Stick Flex Profile

The Novium family is Warriors new mid kick hockey stick line, meaning it is designed to increase the amount of energy you can input into your shots. These sticks bend a bit higher in the blade than low and hybrid sticks, which is what allows for more energy to be stored before rocketing a shot. These sticks specifically are a bit tougher and stiffer to shoot with, but once you get a good feel of the stick, you will really feel that power. Mid kicks are best suited for power forwards and defensemen, although that should not deter you from playing with a Novium stick if thats what works best for you.

Shaft Construction & Stiffness

For increased toughness and decreased weight, the stick uses Warriors Minimus Carbon unidirectional weave, coupled with their Revolutionary Lightweight Construction (RLC) 133.

The bevel taper is a new innovation in Warriors stick lines, which has an angled concave design along the bottom of the shaft. This taper is designed to stiffen and strengthen that section of the stick for better control and velocity on shots.

Blade Construction

Warriors Fuelcore blade returns in the Novium for greater responsiveness, pop, and durability. Fuelcore is a polymer blade core for that enhanced feel, which is surrounded by carbon composite layering to reduce the breakdown of materials.

Grip

The Novium uses a combination of ribbed and soft gloss grip to allow for a better and stronger hold on the stick while you shoot.

Graphics

Novium showcases some clean, new graphics from Warrior, with a mainly red, black, and white colour scheme. The Pro variation includes some light iridescence along the Warrior text graphic.

Blade Patterns, Flex & Stick Length

The Novium Senior hockey stick is available in the following blade patterns: W03, W28, and W88.

W03 is the best blade pattern for all-around play, with a mid-curve style. It is great at handling the puck in small spaces, including face-offs. This curve may suffer a little bit on the backhand.

W88 is a relatively traditional curve. A popular choice in the past, it excels greatly in stickhandling, quick wrist shots, and controlling snap shots.

W28 is a much more aggressive stick pattern, used often by elite players. This blade curve specializes in quick and accurate shots, but it can be a bit difficult to get used to since it is also very good at raising the puck.
