Intro & New Features
New for 2024, Warrior has added to the Novium line with the Novium2 Pro Hockey Stick. Warrior has implemented the T 122 shaft construction, Minimus Carbon 25, and the polymer blade core. This stick also features a bevel taper and OG shaft shape to help hold the stick and provide more control on shots. The Novium2 Pro has many features a top-of-the-line Warrior stick has to offer, but in a newer, lighter, and more responsive package.
Stick Profile
The unique bevel taper is designed to be stiffer through the taper which provides unrivaled control, and accuracy. The stiff taper zone allows the stick to load higher in the shaft which creates more leverage and increased velocity on shots.
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 tight while still being resistant to damage.
The weave is paired with their shaft construction, known as the T 122. The shaft features an OG shaft shape, with flat side walls and rounded corners to provide a consistent feel and control for stickhandling, shooting, and passing.
Blade Construction/Stiffness
The polymer blade core is reinforced with Warrior's proprietary rib design which is a tough and durable design, made to last longer. It is wrapped with high-grade carbon fiber and Minimus Carbon 25 outer weave which created the most responsive blade in Warrior's stick lineup.

Blade Patterns, Flex & Stick Length
The Warrior Novium2 Pro Intermediate Hockey Stick - White Edition comes in the following blade patterns: W03 and W28.
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. M03 is similar to the W03, but is just a bit taller for better control and power.
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 difficult to get used to since it is also very good at raising the puck.
