The Bauer Supreme Matrix Hockey Skates are a Source for Sports exclusive product designed to provide players with a reliable and solid skate. This skate takes features from other Bauer models and incorporates them into a performance-level skate and a lower price point.
Skate Fit Profile
The Matrix Junior skates come in sizes 1-3.5 with D and EE widths. D is a good size for regular-sized feet, whereas EE is designed for those with wider feet. The skates are also thermoformable, so you can bake the skates to fit closer to size.
Boot Construction & Stiffness Profile
The Matrix skates are constructed with a CURV composite boot, which keeps the skates’ performance competitive without making it too stiff and difficult to skate in. For further reinforcement and stiffness at the bottom of the boot, the Matrix skate also has a Digi Comp outsole. As part of Bauer’s Supreme line, these skates have a high stiffness profile to withstand and cater to more powerful strides.
Liner & Internal Padding
The inside of the skate is lined with a sublimated comfort lining. This material ensures that you stay comfortable in your skates all game long without the potential distraction of a wet boot. The skates use Aerofoam Technology in the ankle padding, which is designed a bit thicker than conventional foam but is more form fitting and thermoformable.
Toe Cap
For a better overall fit and to negate any unused space within the boot, Bauer turned to using an asymmetrical toe cap, a concept that has been observed in previous high-end Bauer skates. This isn’t necessarily new technology, but Bauer went ahead with the Supreme Matrix skates and enhanced the toe further for an even better fit.
Tendon Guard
The Matrix Junior skates feature a standard tendon guard. A standard tendon guard protects the vulnerable achilles tendon from skate blades, slashes and other impacts that may occur. It provides a barrier of protection, while aiding in transferring power during a deep, knee-bent skating stride.
Tongue
These skates are built with a classic felt tongue that provides excellent lace-bite protection, a custom rap, and superior forward flex. They are breathable, lightweight, and mold perfectly to your foot over time. While modern stiff tongues enhance energy return, the classic felt tongue offers a forgiving feel and unmatched comfort.
Lacing System
The Matrix skates use standard eyelets. This integration allows the skates to have increased durability that can withstand intense, long-term use. Standard eyelets also allow the player to easily modify their lacing to allow for greater forward flex, while having a tight, secure fit that prevents the foot from shifting within the boot, which is essential for proper energy transfer, stability, and quick turns.
These skates also incorporate the use of Motionflex Max. This technology increases the forward flex of the boot for more comfort. The ease of flex helps promote good skating technique for those younger players still developing their stride.
Steel/Runner, Holder & Blade Profile
The Bauer Supreme Matrix hockey skates will come with the Fly-X steel, which is a runner with a high grade core and enhanced edge retention. The holder featured in the skate is the Bauer Powerfly holder.

Hockey Player Skate Sizing Guide
When sizing for the correct size of a skate, we always advise taking the measurements below from a sitting position and not standing upright. Additional weight on your foot/feet can skew your result and misrepresent your foot size. The reason for this is that as you put your full weight on your feet, the arch of your foot will collapse and cause your foot to appear wider or longer than it actually is.
As well, please be aware that skate sizes and shoes sizing do not match exactly. As a general guideline, skates size 1 ½ sizes smaller than shoes.
It is ideal for a player to have a tight, snug fit both in length and width as this will provide the best performance and durability. If a skate is too big you will feel your feet slide around and you will not get the full performance out of the skates and can also develop calcium deposits - Haglund’s Deformity or “Bauer Bumps” for lack of a better term although this issue doesn’t only occur with Bauer models.
An Ideal Fit: Stand with your skates laced and your heel snug in the heel cup. Your toes should just barely feather the end of the toe box. Bend forward into a skating stance. Your toes should pull back slightly from the toe box. Once heat fit, your foot should slide back into the foams of the skate and the length you felt in your skating stance will more-or-less become you standing size.
To obtain the measurement above you will need a soft tape measure and a pen. Start by placing the tape measure flat along the ground in a straight line. Sitting in a chair, place your foot down with the longest point of your foot (usually big toe, or second toe) in line with the edge of the tape measure. Make sure you keep your weight off of your foot. Take a pen and mark the tape measure where the edge of your heel ends. Record this length in cm. This measurement will correspond with the sizing charts in each brand below, if you do not see your exact measurement, select the size with the next size increment above your measurement (i.e. you measure 24.9 cm, you would select 25.1 cm or Size 6).
Sizing Children for Growth Room: If you are purchasing skates for your child, it is common and usually recommended to add some additional room in the skate to increase the last, we recommend no more than 1 full size. Feet stop growing around ages 15 – 15 ½, and from ages 14 - 15 ½ we would recommend adding only half (1/2) a size in length. Follow the same measurement instructions as above, once you obtain your true size move up ½ or 1 size.
***Sizing of skates is very preference based and these measurements will not guarantee a fit that is right for you. Please use these as general guidelines, for the most accurate fit we always recommend getting measured by a professional skate fitter at our store or your local pro shop.***
