Just Hockey Pro Tip
The CCM Tacks XR90 Intermediate Skates are a strong option for players who prioritize support, stability, and powerful skating strides.
When trying on the XR90, make sure your heel sits securely in the boot and your toes lightly brush the toe cap while standing upright. Once you bend into a proper hockey stance, your toes should pull slightly away from the front.
