The TOVI Raven Pro VIII Junior is praised as a top-tier junior stick that delivers exceptional durability and consistent performance. Multiple reviewers report that the blade maintains its integrity through extensive on-ice and off-ice use without the heel/toe flaking or blade squishiness that plagues competitors like Warrior, CCM, and Bauer. The stick's flex and shot quality are standout features, with users noting it performs comparably to or better than mid-kick alternatives while maintaining a responsive feel for stick handling.
This is seriously the best junior hockey stick on the market, and I've tried a bunch. It's durable, the flex is amazing, and it shoots like a dream. Do yourself a favor and get this stick for yourself or your loved one. You won't be disappointed.
Picked this up for my son, we’ve gone through several sticks in the last couple years. Warrior, CCM, Bauer all have wore out far faster than expected. Usually a heel or toe will start to flake out the blade will get squishy and the feel will all change. With the TOVI it’s been solid, the blade has held up to hours of on and off ice shooting and stick handling. It’s always stayed consistent and the shaft has been amazing. I can put another mid kick stick next to this one and the TOVI actually flexes like it’s supposed too. The other “mid kick” sticks flex too low or barely at all. Overall this stick is well worth the price being US made and outlasting the other sticks without the loss of feel the other sticks got at mid life.
My son has been playing for a few years and we've been struggling to find the right stick for him. After doing some research, I came across Raven. This stick is light and durable. He absolutely loves it and we have definitely seen a difference in his game.
My son has been begging me for a Raven TOVI stick and won't stop talking about how much he loves it. He's insisting that this is the only one he wants to use. I'm not sure what makes this stick so special, but it makes my son happy and helps him excel in his ice hockey league! It lives up to his expectations!
