Clear Plastic Pieces in OPS

[FlyChicaga 21]

I just ordered a pro stock stick from HockeyMonkey. When I received it, there were little shards of clear/milky plastic on the inside. I removed the end cap and they all dumped out. When I bang the stick on the ground, more seem to come loose. Is this some type of glue on the interior of the stick breaking apart, or is the stick faulty? I'm not sure if I should send it back or if it's a non-issue. Thoughts?

If it was a Bauer it might be remnants of their bladder system that they use to mold their sticks.

It's a CCM Trigger. I should add that it's flexible, like dried glue/caulk.

Might be from the shaft/blade fuse point? CCM doesn't have a "true" 1-piece molded stick like Warrior and Bauer do.

Can you take a pic of them?

I did, I'll see if I can upload somehow.

More than likely it's leftover resin from the process.  Been around as long as composite sticks have been around.  Bang it out - you'll be fine.

Thanks JR.  I'm excited to use this curve, didn't want to return it.
