Warrior Covert QR6 Team Senior Hockey Stick

Intro & New Features

For 2024, Warrior has released the Covert QR6 Team Senior Hockey Stick. With developments like their Minimus Carbon construction, QREdge Taper, Fuelcore blade, and responsive low-kick flex point, this stick is ready to perform as soon as you hit the ice.

Stick Profile

The Covert line is classified as a low to ultra-low kick point hockey stick, amplified by the QREdge taper near the hosel. This taper takes a hexagonal shape to augment power and quick release, the latter of which is a staple of the low kick point. The hexagonal shape also includes more sides on the shaft, making that taper much more durable.

Shaft Construction

Warrior is well-known in the hockey and lacrosse worlds for constantly reworking their carbon construction and materials, and this stick’s shaft demonstrates their advancements in that area. Minimus Carbon UD is of Warrior's own advancements and utilizes a unidirectional carbon fiber weave, which helps to create a highly efficient lightweight and durable hockey stick.

The weave is paired with their T.L. 133 shaft construction, a high-grade carbon that features the latest lightweight fiber technology and epoxy resin formulation to provide lower weight with increased strength.

Blade Construction

The QR6 Team stick utilizes the Fuelcore blade. A lightweight polymer blade core enhances puck feel and makes shots pop, and Minimus Carbon 12 composite layering is added around the core to add strength and reduce the breakdown of materials in the blade which in turn increases the durability.

Graphics

The Warrior QR6 Team stick has a black base with pops of white along the shaft. The QR6 logo is set against a white background in black text, offsetting feature logos in white against the black shaft, and both the Warrior and Covert logo are colour matched to the sides of the shaft with a slight gloss to add a slight reflective touch, drawing the eye in. The back of the stick sees a switch from the other sides, with black text on a mostly white base, adding uniqueness to the design.

Grip

Warrior uses a tack grip on the QR6 Team stick to add extra control while moving pucks and stickhandling.

Blade Patterns, Flex & Stick Length

The Warrior QR6 Team Stick comes in the following blade patterns: W01, W02, W03, W05, W28, and W88.

W01 has more of a mid-heel curve compared to the W88, making it a bit better for taking shots. Like the W88, the blade is great in its versatility, and it excels in tight stickhandling in small spaces.
W02 is a deep heel curve with a square toe. It’s great for big shots and one-timers, and its open configuration makes raising the puck easier.
W03 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; however, this curve may suffer a little bit on the backhand.
W05 is an open, medium-sized heel curve that specializes in quick release and accurate passes.
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.
W88 is a relatively traditional curve. A popular choice in the past, it excels greatly in stickhandling, quick wrist shots, and snappy backhands.
