Intro & New Features
The CCM Tacks XF Pro Youth Hockey Skates are the new top-of-the-line youth skates available in 2024. With reinforced synthetic composite construction and a faux carbon skin, it provides a pro design for elite beginners. Memory foam wraps around the ankles and features added comfort pad at the boot cut. Available in sizes 8-10 in full sizes and 11-13 in full and half sizes, they also feature a regular skate width.
Boot Construction & Stiffness Profile
The reinforced synthetic composite construction is a durable boot with extra reinforcement for structural stiffness and improved performance. The skin graphic and chrome overlays replicate the pro design for elite beginners. These skates are stiffer which may be tough to break in at first, but they are best for skaters with big strides and won't wear down as easily.
Internal Padding & Liner
The HD microfiber liner and memory foam & ankle pad is designed for comfort and protection. The ADPT memory foam around the ankles have added comfort pad at the boot cut, and layered liner foam wraps nicely around your foot for a great fit and better comfort.
Tongue
The asymmetrical dual-layer construction with embossed lace-bite contains a 5mm black felt with added 6mm foam core reinforcement for comfort and protection. The improved construction allow for enhanced forward flexion.
Footbed
Constructed of molded foam and a kid sizing zone, the molded insole keeps your foot in place for improved performance. With CCM kid sizing zone, it's never been easier to fit tiny feet, providing young players with excellent support and comfort.
Holder & Steel
The CCM speedblade is the holder on the Youth XF Pro skates. It is paired with non-replaceable black steel blade with elevated holder for an increased attack angle.

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.***
