CCM RIBCOR Platinum Junior Hockey Skates (2019)

The CCM RIBCOR Platinum Hockey Skates are a Source for Sports exclusive model that is based on the CCM 78K skate with upgrades from the RIBCOR 80K. The Platinum Skate has high end features from the 80K  Skate such as CCM’s Flex Frame Technology, and the SpeedBlade XS1 Steel. Even with these pro level upgrades, the Platinum is offered at a mid-range price.

Flex Frame
CCM’s FlexFrame Technology has quickly become a staple in the Ribcor line. It offers excellent forward flexion, and great lateral stability to provide an extremely optimized stride. The FlexFrame uses a variable stiffness design which changes the profile as you move down the boot towards the toe, to provide a snug and contoured fit, as well as excellent performance.

Tongue
The felt tongue on the CCM Platinum Skate offers a nice mix of traditional feel and new technology. The 7mm black felt offers all the comfort you are looking for, while still remaining thin enough to wrap nicely around the foot. On the front facing of the felt, an embossed lace-bite guard protects the foot from the laces binding and biting into it.

Liner
CCM’s TotalDri liner is comfortable and dries out quickly between ice times. The Platinum also has Durazone abrasion protection applied to the top three eyelets and extends around the tendon for added durability where the tongue can create the most friction with the liner.

Hockey Player Skate Sizing Guide

Things to consider:

• Age
• Measurement from longest point of foot (cm)

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.***
