What stick does Alex Newhook use?
Stanley Cup Champion Alex Newhook is now a Montreal Canadien after a couple of strong years in Colorado. Proud owner of a new 4 year contract, the 2019 first rounder will be hoping for a chance to play a bigger role in Montreal.
Newhook has preferred traditional shaft shapes on his Nexus twigs the past few seasons. When he first broke into the pros after a stellar NCAA career at Boston College, he was using a 2N Pro with Geo graphic, and soon after shed a few grams with a switch to a 2N PRO XL build. This year he kept that same construction with a new Sync (or Hyperlite) graphic. Seems like Newhook will be a likely candidate to give the as-of-now unreleased AG5NT R a try next season.
The curve and flex on this twig are as run-of-the-mill as they come - P92, 87 flex. At one point Newhook was messing around with a P90T style toe kink, but that didn't last long as he quickly returned to our classic Blade 1.
With Newhook gone from the Avs, his sticks had to end up somewhere! Head to the site to shop twigs from Newhook and his former Colorado teammates now.
