Intro & New Features
The new CCM XF Pro Intermediate Hockey Skates are the top of the line skates for 2024. Featuring a high stiffness rating to generate powerful strides, a one-piece boot with game ready fit for better energy transfer, and a 7mm black felt tongue with a molded foam core that wraps around your foot for a superior on-ice fit. Available in sizes 4-6.5 (full & half) and in 3 different skate widths, Tapered, Regular, and Wide.
Skate Fit Profile
The XF Pro Skates are designed to be a much more stiffer boot, providing the most support to strong skaters. Stiff skates may be tough to break and use at first, but they are best for skaters with big strides and won't wear down as easily, even if you are skating most of the week. This skate is completely thermoformable, meaning it is moldable and responsive to heat. Baking and fitting the skates while heated will allow them to fully adapt to your foot shape. These skates comes in three different skate widths:
-
Tapered
(Narrow forefoot, narrow heel, low volume) -
Regular
(Mid forefoot, mid heel, mid volume) -
Wide
(Wide forefoot, wide heel, high volume)
Internal Padding & Liner
The liner contains the totaldri pro with responsive foam and polygiene material. The high-performance moisture-wicking material keeps the feet dry and skates light, while the responsive foam backing hugs your feet throughout the boot. The polygiene antimicrobial treatment fights odors and bateria keeping the skates smelling fresh. Additionally, it features the multi-layered configuration with denser ADPT memory foam for next level comfort and an elite fit. Its optimized positioning and boot shaping create the heel lockdown zone, securing your foot from stride to stride.
Boot Construction & Stiffness Profile
Designed with a stiffness rating of 215, this high stiffness rating has a super lightweight, stiff, and thermoformable core that generates the ultimate skating performance. The boot is made up of premium composite materials, weaved together with a high-end core that improves the weight-to-stiffness ratio for long-term performance. This skate is also a one-piece boot powered with game ready fit, its amplified power and explosiveness from every stride with a more reponsive boot construction delivering better energy transfer.
Tongue
The tongue has a tritech construction wth D3O protection. The 7mm black felt and a molded foam core are designed to wrap around your foot perfectly for superior on-ice fit and comfort. The injected D3O lacebite provides added protection with an improved construction designed for better forward flexion.
Footbed & Midsole
The footbed on these skates features the molded CCM ortholite ultra with ADPT memory foam, which is an ultra-lightweight molded fit with heel grip support and an added layer of ADPT memory foam for extr comfort. Additionally, it features a lightweight midsole for enhanced energy transfer from the boot to the blade.
Holder & Steel
The Tacks XF Pro skates feature the SpeedBlade XS holder with a brand-new enhanced dial. The CCM quick release holder and bladelock system feature a whopping 136% larger dial with improved texturization, which allows for better grip and faster changes on the fly. The Tacks XF Pro skates come paired with the Step BlackSteel, the highest quality of steel with carbon-coated technology for superior edge hardness, phenominal glide, and increased skating speed.

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.***
