Intro & New Features
New for 2024, Warrior has updated their Covert line with the QR6 Pro Senior Hockey Stick, now available in the Long length. Warrior has implemented new technological advances such as the P.L. 188 construction, Minimus Carbon 25, an all-new Edge Blade, and returning features such as the Edge Taper and O.G. Shaft Shape. This stick has everything the Covert line does best in a newer, lighter, and more responsive package.
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 25 is of Warrior's own advancements and utilizes a flat spread tow weave, which provides strength by reducing fiber crimp and deformation during the composite layering process. This weave is thin and light while still being resistant to damage.
The weave is paired with their new shaft construction, known as P.L. 188, a completely re-engineered shaft that provides improved durability and weight reduction by using lower weight fibers and thermoplastic-toughened epoxy resin that creates a consistent level of balance, weight, and durability.
Blade Construction
The QR6 Pro stick debutes a new blade known as the Edge Blade, a redesigned technology with a lighweight polymer blade core wrapped in Minimus Carbon 25. This blade is able to deliver great durability, pop, and feel. Additionally, the redesign adds a new shape where the blade meets the ice to enhance the overall handling and feel during play.
Graphics
The QR6 Pro has a dark grey base, with holographic finishes found along the spine and in the Warrior logo as well as a holographic outline in the Covert lettering. The carbon layering is visible at both the top of the shaft and the blade.
Grip
Warrior has implemented a mix between two different raised patterns, with a pigskin texture on the sides of the shaft and ribbing along the spine. Pigskin texture is a non-animal based grip that replicates the feel of a football. The grip is a medium tack finish.
Blade Patterns, Flex & Stick Length
The Warrior Covert QR6 Pro Senior Long Hockey Stick is available in the following blade patterns: W03, W28, and W88.
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.
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.
95 Flex (W03, W28, W88), L/R - 63”

Hockey Player Stick Sizing & Information Guide
Selecting the right stick for you.
When it comes to sizing a Hockey Stick, the length tends to be a preference. Sticks come in Senior, Intermediate, Junior and Youth lengths with corresponding flex options. You will need to consider your weight and height or the person you are buying for in order to choose the correct size. Intermediate, Junior, and Youth hockey sticks will have smaller shaft dimensions, making them easier for young players to hold and control.
A stick can always be cut down in length, and will usually be cut down for kids. However, selecting a hockey stock too long in length or the wrong flex can hinder performance. For kids, junior, intermediate and senior all come in roughly standards length. In some cases, each Junior flex will be a different length of stick. Look at each and compare the height of the player you are buying for.
Flex can be tricky to pick as every hockey player is different and has their own preference. You can think of flex numbers as pounds of force. Having too stiff or too whippy a stick can hinder performance in their own ways.
Personalizing your stick length.
As mentioned before, length is very much personal preference. To determine a benchmark height, stand with your shoes off and the stick against your body with the toe on the ground. As a general rule of thumb we recommend sticks to come up to between your mouth and nose. For kids, or players who are still growing, the maximum height we recommend is eye level.
Mark the shaft of the stick where the height is desired and cut it down to length. Make sure to re-insert the plug from the top to prevent an open composite end at the top of your stick.
When cutting a stick down, keep in mind that the shorter you cut a stick, the stiffer it becomes. As a general rule, a stick increases 3% in stiffness for every inch cut off. If you are unsure how much you want to cut off, take the least amount first so that you can always cut more if necessary. Cutting the stick multiple times will not affect the sticks construction.
Information to Consider
Flex Options
Players want to be able to fully flex the stick. If a stick is too soft, the resulting shot will be inaccurate and weak. If a stick is too stiff, there will be no power behind the shot. Think of the flex number as pounds of force. This is the number of pounds that need to be put into the stick to fully flex it.
Curve Options
In most cases, sticks are offered in multiple blade curve pattern options. Please refer to our blade pattern charts for more information regarding the patterns available.
Kick Point Options
A Mid-kick stick will have a stiffer taper so that it flexes more in the middle of the shaft. These sticks have a longer loading time but offer a more powerful shot, perfect for players taking a lot of slap shots.
A Low-kick stick will have a stiffer middle of the shaft and softer taper so that it flexes at the bottom of the shaft closer to the blade. These sticks will have a much quicker release perfect for quick snap shots and writs shots.
