Bauer Vapor League Senior Hockey Stick (2022)

Intro & New Features
The Bauer Vapor League Senior Hockey Stick is an elite-level low-kick stick that is built to unleash some wicked snap shots and wrist shots. With those considerations in mind, the stick features various returning and upgraded material, including XE-Taper Technology, a re-engineered 15k one-piece carbon fibre shaft, and HyperCore Blade Technology—all within a stick that is built to last.

Shaft Construction
The shaft has now been reinforced with a premium 15k carbon fibre build to keep the shaft both lightweight and durable. The carbon also effectively enhances the Vapors’ acclaimed low-kick point, making shooting easier and smoother than ever. Bauer’s single molding process has also removed excess materials, which means the stick is now much lighter.

Blade Construction
Appearing in the Vapor Hyperlite, the Vapor League hockey stick uses HyperCore Technology to lower blade weight and optimize the stick’s balance point. Two carbon bridges are fused into a stiff foam, improving overall toughness by 20%. This increases stability and control and creating a longer-lasting blade pop.

Stick Flex Profile
Like all in the Vapor line, the Vapor League hockey stick is built with a low-kick flex profile and uses XE-Taper Technology. The improved carbon shaft has made it even easier to make use of the stick’s low-kick build. Similar to other low-kick sticks, this hockey stick is best suited for forwards and playmaking defensemen that focus most of their game on making quick snap shots, wrist shots, or passes up close.

Graphics
The stick has a very modern vapor look, with a red, white, and black colouration. The top of the shaft is reserved for the grey, red and white, while black and carbon material take the bottom. Vapor logo is printed subtly in both areas and in similar colours, and Bauer’s classic lettering is placed near the blade in white.

Blade Patterns, Flex, & Stick Length
The Vapor League Hockey Stick comes in the following blade patterns: P28, P88, P92, and P92M.

P92 is the best all-around blade pattern, with a mid-curve style. It is great at handling the puck in small spaces, including face-offs. P92M is very similar to the P92, but it is just a bit taller.

P88 is a relatively traditional curve. A popular choice in the past, it excels greatly in stickhandling, quick wrist shots, and snappy backhands.

P28 is a much more curved stick pattern, used often by elite players. This blade curve specializes in quick and accurate shots.
