Intro & New Features
CCM introduces the Tacks XF70 Junior Hockey Skates for the 2024 year. This skate features a high stiffness profile, an EVA layer comfort liner to provide a better fit into the boot, and an ergonomic shape that provides great comfort with a light and durable boot construction. Available in sizes 1-3 in full and half sizes. Regular width is available in sizes 1-3.5, wide width is available in sizes 2-3.5.
Boot Construction & Stiffness Profile
Designed with a high stiffness rating of 140, it allows the skate to produce more powerful strides. Paired along with it is a solid core for great skating performance. The 2D metaframe synthetic composite design gives the skate an ergonomic shape that provides great comfort with a light and durable construction. The faux carbon skin gives the skate a slick finish throughout the skate.
Internal Padding & Liner
The HD microfiber is a high-resistance EVA layer, delivering fit and comfort all throughout the boot. The memory foam with a comfort pad is made of multi-density foam, which features an ankle pad at the boot cut. It is designed to wrap nicely around your foot for a great fit and additional comfort.
Tongue
When CCM was creating the tongue for these skates, they thought of comfort. That's why these skates feature a metatomic tritech tongue, which is a 7-mm black felt with foam core reinforcement and embossed 2mm lacebite protection tongue. All its protection wraps around your foot for an excellent fit and comfort.
Footbed
The CCM ortholite footbed deisgn is an ultra-lightweight, molded fit created for enhanced comfort.
Holder & Steel
The XF70 skates use the SpeedBlade XS holder, which is CCM's quick-release holder with the metal pin bladelock system, keeping your steel securely in one place. Paired with this holder, the XF80 skates come stock with the XS stainless steel runner. The classic XS stainless steel provides durability and an extra attack angle when leaning into your strides.

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.***
