JetSpeed & Tacks Skate Families by CCM

The right pair of CCM JetSpeed or Tacks hockey skates can take your game to the next level. From the speed-enhancing steel runners to the power-boosting boot composite, CCM engineers top-of-the-line tech to help you dominate the ice.

CCM creates some of the most trusted and advanced hockey skates available, as shown in the Jetspeed and Tacks lines. Founded in 1899 as a bicycle manufacturer, CCM has spent over a century carrying athletes from point A to point B at record speed. But by 1937, the company had shifted gears and started designing top-quality skates for pros and beginners alike. Today, CCM enjoys a reputation for engineering some of the most innovative skates on the market. As manufacturing of the beloved CCM Ribcor hockey skate line draws to a close, the JetSpeed and Tacks families are taking charge.

CCM Skate Tech

CCM takes skate quality seriously. That’s why the manufacturer has spent decades collaborating with aerospace engineers to develop some of the most protective, lightweight, and responsive equipment on the ice. In 2016, CCM made history by launching the first one-piece skate after five years of extensive research in partnership with Adidas and the University of Calgary. These innovative skates offer an enhanced feel of the ice, 360° skate-to-foot coverage, and incredible energy transfer. The one-piece boot has quickly become a favorite and is worn by over 150 NHL professionals.

While the one-piece boot is an impressive bit of engineering, some players still prefer the traditional two-piece feel. CCM JetSpeed, Tacks, and the fading-out Ribcor families each offer one- and two-piece skates so you can enjoy the high-end features of a CCM boot in the style you prefer. The JetSpeed and Tacks skate families target different performance styles so every player can discover their perfect CCM hockey boot.

CCM JetSpeed VS. Tacks Skate Fit

Traditionally, JetSpeed and Tacks skate used to differ in their performance features and fit. The player who prefered a tapered boot would want to lace up in a JetSpeed skate. These narrow- to medium-volume skates feature average toe box, instep, and heel dimensions and come with a tight ankle and forefoot for added vertical stability. For fans of medium- to high-volume boots, a Tacks skate was the way to go. The anatomical fit of these skates offered impressive protection, comfort, and connection to the ice. CCM now has a Custom Fit system to accommodate a range of foot dimensions and allows you to focus more on performance features of the skate. Now, if you have a high-volume foot but want the speed and handling of a JetSpeed skate, you’ll feel right at home in the streamlined boots in a Wide fit. Or, the player with narrow feet can confidently hit the ice in a pair of Tacks in a Tapered fit.

CCM knows skate dimensions are critical, but other variables make these skates exceptional: Using top-quality materials and advanced proprietary technology, CCM crafts hockey skates capable of enhancing your performance on the ice.

JetSpeed Design

The JetSpeed family offers maximum flexibility and awesome speed. These swift skates come with a softer boot for maximum mobility, adding propulsion to your strides. Within the line of CCM JetSpeed skates, you’ll find ultra-lightweight RFM composite material for enhanced energy transfer, asymmetrical toe caps for a powerful push-off, and Step Steel Runners that take your speed up a notch.

Tacks Design

The CCM Tacks skate family offers a stiffer boot with less flexibility for improved handling. The Tacks line is all about power, so energy transfer is a top priority. The 360° fit of a Tacks boot maximizes skate-to-foot contact for enhanced control over where force is applied in each stroke. All Tacks skates come with elevated blade holders which allow players to execute angled attacks with striking precision.

CCM offers Tacks boots made in durable full-carbon composite and with heel grip technology for even more stability.
