Intro & New Features
New for 2024 from CCM is the updated Tacks protective line. The Tacks Vector Plus elbow pads are a Source for Sports exclusive pad that combines powerful protective features from higher-end gear with a more affordable price point. Features include a JDP elbow with a molded EVA foam cover, an AS-V middle lock strap, and a two-piece floating guard.
Bicep & Forearm Protection
The bicep is guarded by an articulated, reinforced, two-piece floating guard. The two-piece construction is built to give you pro-level protection, no matter how you move on the ice. The reinforcement and printing over the bicep guard have been molded after that in the AS 580 pad.
Elbow Cap
The JDP elbow features a molded EVA foam cover to offer elite-level protection. This elbow cap design is wider and focuses on dispersing impact force out and away from the bone, keeping your elbows safe from harm.
Strapping System
The Vector Plus uses the same middle lock strap as the AS-V to ensure the pads are locked on your arm comfortably. The forearm strap is made of tough nylon with a high-tensile weave, keeping it durable and allowing for a fully customizable fit.
Liner
The liner is antimicrobial and laminated to easily wick away moisture and repel odour while you play while still being comfortable. The protective comfort donut helps with cushioning and keeping impact as far from the bone as possible.

The CCM Tacks Vector Plus Junior Hockey Elbow Pads are available in Small, Medium, and Large.

Hockey Elbow Pads Sizing Information
When fitting or trying on elbow pads, there are a few things to look at to make sure you have a proper fit. To start, make sure your elbow is placed in the center of cup or designated area and fasten the elbow pad using the straps. You will want to make sure that elbow pad is snug and secure and will not slip off the elbow joint. As well, move your arms around with each pad on, range of motion is key, and you will feel mobility differences in each product. If the elbow pad is too big it will shift and slide around on your arm. If it is too small your elbow will feel like it is sitting above the pad.
Elbow pad strapping is semi-adjustable, so if you find a pad that you like the feel of on your arm, adjust the straps until it fits securely. If the strapping feels too tight against your arm and you are unable to loosen it further, this is a good sign that you may need a bigger size. As well if you have fully tightened the strapping and the elbow pad is still loose or shifting on your arm, a size down will probably work better.
When looking at different elbow pads, there are a variety of different features to choose from. Some models will be offered in a soft elbow cap (although this is becoming more uncommon) and other will come with a hard plastic shell. As well, strapping systems can change and straps such as anchor straps or lock strap with provide a better lock to the pad than a regular elastic strap. These features are personal preference and usually are dictated by price range as well as brand. Once you have a feel for what you like or dislike you can narrow your choices.
When viewing sizing online, most elbow pads will be offered in Small, Medium and Large. Sizing charts are provided below and on each product to double check where you line up and as well list all the sizes available. These charts are for reference only and personal preference is a factor as well when looking for the best fit.
Compare your height, weight and age to the charts provided to find your best fit. As well, put on your shoulder pad and gloves and have someone measure the space/gap in between (in inches) to determine the proper sizing.
