As part of the new Tacks skate line from CCM in 2026, we see the release of the Tacks XR80 Hockey Skates. Built with the new core technology, the XR80 skates deliver the ultimate performance, fit, and feel, providing unmatched out-of-the-box comfort and performance while on the ice.
Skate Fit Profile
The XR80 skates are designed to be a much stiffer boot than compared to other skates, providing the most support to strong skaters. Stiff skates may be tough to break in 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 come in two different skate widths:
- Regular: Medium Forefoot, Medium Heel, Medium Volume
- Wide: Wide Forefoot, Wider Heel, Wide High Volume
Boot Construction & Stiffness Profile
Experience the future of skating through the new Core Boot. Designed to have a close to foot feel, the one-piece boot is designed for power transfers, while the reactive, lightweight materials and the ergonomic shape come together to deliver the ultimate performance for hockey players.
Liner & Internal Padding
Inside the skate, CCM added the TotalDri Pro liner. This high-performance, moisture-wicking material keeps feet dry and skates light, while the antimicrobial treatment fights odor and bacteria. The skates also have ADPT Memory Foam to provide seamless comfort. The multi-layered configuration with denser ADPT Memory Foam ankle pads creates a comfortable and snug skate interior for players.
Tongue
When CCM was creating the tongue for these skates, they thought of comfort. That’s why these skates feature a 7mm felt tongue with injected lacebite technology. The dual-layer construction with injected lacebite protection keeps players feet protected on the ice while minimizing the effect of lacebite.
Insoles
The molded CCM Ortholite footbed design is an ultra-lightweight, molded fit created for enhanced comfort. These are heat-moldable, which allows them to mold to your feet.
Holders & Steel
The XR80 skates feature the use of the XS1 Pro Stainless Steel. This is a taller blade (+4mm over a standard runner) giving players better attack angles and improved longevity while the stainless steel provides a long-lasting edge, all for improved skating performance. To keep the blades in place, these skates use the SpeedBlade XS holder, which is a quick-release holder with a metal pin blade lock system.

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.***
