Power
A Power-Focused Playing Style suits players who thrive on generating strong, top-end speed through forceful and longer strides. They come with a stiffer boot that efficiently transfers energy into the ice for maximum power with every stride.
-
Acceleration
An Acceleration-Focused Playing Style is ideal for players who rely on quick bursts of speed and agile movements to dominate the game. These offer a moderately stiff boot that balances support with mobility. You can swiftly change direction, make sudden moves, and accelerate rapidly with these skates.

Level of Play Definitions
If multiple categories are selected, it indicates the skate is suitable for multiple levels of play.
-
Recreational-Level
Recreational ice hockey skates are built for the new-to-hockey player or casual skaters that are looking for an affordable option. These are great starter skates, especially for youth players.
-
Performance-Level
Performance-level ice hockey skates are a great fit for players who are confident in their skating stride and are ready to take their on-ice performance to the next level. These players are on the ice 1-2 times a week playing mid-to-high level hockey.
-
Elite-Level
Elite-level ice hockey skates are built for the best performance, protection, durability, and comfort. These players are usually on the ice three times or more a week and are playing high-level hockey.
The entire Tacks Line is built for the north-to-south power skater looking for top-end speed. The AS-V's extra stiff boot plays a big role in achieving that goal while the fiberglass PowerFlex Tendon Guard and XS Asymmetrical Tri-Tech Tongue help out too. The PowerFlex Tendon Guard is very flexible to allow no resistance at the peak of the skating stride during the toe snap process.
The Tri-Tech Tongue was designed for maximum forward flexion, which players need in order to place themselves in the optimal, aggressive skating position. Even with the flexible injected protection, CCM gave the Tacks AS-V D3O smart foam reinforcement through the middle. This memory foam-like material feels comfortable and molds to the top of the foot, but most importantly, it provides some of the very best impact protection on the market.
For the ultimate fitting experience that can be done without leaving the house, make sure to first Bake Your Skates at Home and then Check for Proper Skate Fit. If you are still unsatisfied with how they fit and feel, simply use the included pre-paid return label.

| TotalDri Pro Line with Polygiene With immediate out-of-the-box comfort and advanced moisture-wicking abilities, the Tacks now feature Polygiene odor and bacteria protection.
