Intro & New Features
Introducing the all-new CCM Tacks XF Senior Hockey Skates. Featuring a one-piece boot giving more direct energy transfers, a flex 3.0 tendon guard for increased speed and stride extension and a 7mm black felt molded tongue with lacebite protection, they have all the necessities and more. Available in sizes 7-12 (full and half) and in regular, tapered, and wide widths.
Boot Construction & Stiffness Profile
Designed with a high stiffness rating of 190, it allows the skate to produce more powerful strides. Paired along with it is a lightweight, stiff and thermo-formable core that generates the ultimate skating experience. The one-piece boot with game ready fit gives amplified power and explosiveness from every stride with a more responsive boot construction to deliver a better energy transfer. The higher in-step volume provides a more generous fit in the midfoot, made for elite skaters.
Internal Padding & Liner
The liner is comprised of 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.
Tongue
CCM created this tongue with comfort and protection in mind. The tritech construction with EVA protection consists of, a 7mm black felt and a molded foam core wrap, fitting your foot perfectly for superior on-ice fit and comfort. The injected EVA foam provides lacebite 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 extra comfort. Additionally, it features a lightweight midsole for enhanced energy transfer from the boot to the blade.
Holder & Steel
The Tacks XF 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 skates come paired with the Step V-Steel, the highest quality of steel which has been carefully polished to obtain a mirror image for a sharper edge, superior 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.***
