Intro & New Features
New for 2022 from CCM are the Tacks 550 gloves. These gloves were designed for the recreational player looking for gear with comfortable and protective features at a more affordable price point. They feature many classic materials and frameworks to live up to the expectation.
External Material
The AS 550 takes a recreational build and design, meaning its comfort and durability have been enhanced. The polyester-weaved exterior ensures toughness in the gloves while still keeping them waterproof and lightweight.
Finger Design & Protection
The fingers all take a two-piece design and are equipped with PE foam and PE inserts to cover your hands from harm. PE material in hockey protectives is a common choice due to its light weight and tough composition.
Backhand Protection
Similar to the fingers, the backhand also uses PE foam with PE inserts for good coverage.
Thumb Design
The thumb provides decent mobility with its PE-injected thumb framework. The gloves have a one-piece thumb construction.
Cuff Design
The cuff used on the AS 550 glove is a pre-angled, one-piece open cuff. This design offers good range of motion while additionally keeping you covered and protected.
Palm Material & Gussets
The AS 550 gloves use a Nash palm with a Nash reinforcement. Nash is the traditional choice for palm material due to its great feel and toughness. At all levels of play, CCM recognizes the necessity of a tougher palm. Palms can easily wear down more quickly than the rest of the glove after constant friction from contact with the stick and your hands. That’s why they added the extra Nash reinforcement right along where the glove comes in contact with the stick.
Liner
The inside of the glove is lined with PU cushion foam and a sublimated laminated liner for a smooth and soft, game-ready feel. The laminated liner is water-resistant and durable, ensuring it lasts longer.

CCM Hockey Gloves Sizing Chart
Player Glove Sizing
To ensure you're purchasing the proper sized glove, one simple measurement using a measuring tape is all it takes to accurately find your size. Place the tip of the tape measure at the top of your middle finger (or which finger is longest) and measure all the way down to the bottom of your palm. Record this measurement and multiply by two. This will be roughly the size of glove you need. Compare your height, weight and age to the charts provided on each model as well to find your best fit.
Sizing Hockey Gloves (Growing Players)
If you are including growing room in the glove for a young player, always round the measurement up to the next whole number (ex. 3.2” x 2 = 6.4” -> 7”).
Making Sure Your Hockey Gloves Fit (Growing Players)
To ensure hockey gloves fit properly for a growing hockey player, have them place their hands in the glove with their palms facing up. Have the player place their hand inside the glove as they would if they were wearing the glove in a normal situation. Take your index finger and put it between the top of the player's palm and the edge of the cuff. Typically you want no more room than the width of your index finger.
You also want to have the player press their fingers against the palm so you can see the outlines. Make sure their pinky finger is at least 3/4” of the way into the pinky slot of the glove finger. To determine if the glove is too small, take your fingers and feel along the inner cuff of the glove just after the palm material. Make sure the player’s palm is not spilling over the material and onto the cuff. You also want to look at the fingers of the glove, and make sure the player’s fingers to fit in each finger slot, but they should not be pressed up against the edge or touching the gussets.
Sizing Hockey Gloves (Full-Grown Players)
When sizing for true size (no growth room) using the above measurement, round measurements less than 0.5 down to the next whole number. If the measurement ends in .5 or higher, round up to the nearest whole number.
Making Sure Your Hockey Gloves Fit (Full-Grown Players)
To ensure your hockey gloves fit properly, you want to take a look at two things.
