The CCM SpeedBlade XS Holder is the standard replacement holder for all CCM skates since using the XS quick-release system. Since 2019, most CCM skates have used the Regular Dial found on this holder. However, in 2023, CCM introduced a Larger Dial with different mounting hardware on select top-end models. The Larger Dial holder is easier to use but works the exact same as the Regular Dial holder.
If you're replacing a broken or damaged XS holder, we recommend purchasing the same dial size as your original holder to ensure proper fit with your skate boot's mounting holes. Both Regular and Large Dial holders use the same steel, so you can reuse your blades no matter which version your skates use.

CCM SKATES WITH THE SPEEDBLADE 4.0 HOLDER CCM Skates from 2013-2019 came with the SpeedBlade 4.0 Holder, not the SpeedBlade XS Holder. The rivet patterns match between the two but will also require compatible SpeedBlade XS Runners. We also recommend replacing both holders to maintain consistency, performance and feel.
