Protective Shin Coverage
A structured shin shell provides coverage across the front of the lower leg, helping manage impacts from blocked shots, sticks, collisions, and contact with the ice.
Knee Protection
Protective coverage around the knee helps shield this critical impact area during shot blocks, puck battles, falls, and other contact throughout the game.
Calf & Lower-Leg Coverage
Protection extending around the leg helps provide more complete coverage than the front shin shell alone, giving players added confidence when competing in physical areas of the ice.
Secure Strapping System
A secure fit helps keep the shin guard properly positioned during skating and contact. The Vector Premier is designed to remain comfortably anchored to the leg without unnecessarily restricting movement.
Comfortable Interior
A comfortable interior helps provide a secure feel against the leg, allowing players to focus on their game throughout practices and extended game situations.

Just Hockey Pro Tip
Proper shin guard sizing is essential for getting the protection you're paying for. Your knee should sit securely inside the knee pocket, while the lower portion of the shin guard should provide adequate coverage toward the skate without interfering with ankle mobility.
When trying on the CCM S26 Tacks Vector Premier Senior Shin Guards, wear them with your skates and hockey pants whenever possible. This makes it easier to identify unwanted gaps between your shin guards, skate tongues, and pants and helps ensure a secure protective setup before hitting the ice.
