How to Select a Hockey Skate Blade and Holder

Finding the correct hockey skate blade or skate holder size is a simple process and only requires a detailed look at your current hockey skates runner and holder. Both share the same sizing information and are constructed anywhere from 211mm - 322mm sizes or in some cases Jr 1 - Sr 12. It is important to note that every holder utilizes a specific runner-locking design, therefore it is imperative to know what specific holder model you have along with its size.

Ice Hockey Skate Blade Header

Step 1: Confirm Your Holder or Runner Size

Look at the heel portion of the holder and search for a three-digit number, usually located by the rear rivets. This three-digit number is the size of your holder and also the runner. Most blades also have this three-digit number stamped onto it too, so you can remove your current runner and confirm the three-digit number matches the holder. On the holder, you may see an "L" or an "R" beside this number, which simply indicates if it is the "Left" or "Right" holder.

In the case below, the player would identify their skates as having a 304mm holder and runner set up. Along with the size, it is vital to have the specific skate holder model which we will find in Step 2.

Step 2: Confirm Your Skate Holder's Model

It is now time to identify your skate's holder in order to purchase the correct skate blade. Located on the holder is the name of its make and model, found on both the front and rear post. For example, if you have a CCM JetSpeed FT4 Pro Skate, the holder is the CCM SpeedBlade XS Holder. "SpeedBlade" is located on the front post and "XS" is labeled on the back post, alongside CCM's XS runner quick-release dial.

With this information, the player would then begin shopping for compatible SpeedBlade XS runners or holders in size 304mm. If you are still unsure which model of holder you have, please use the graphics below for more guidance.

If the three-digit number on both your holder and runner are ineligible, no need to worry! Simply find your hockey skate's brand, model, and year using the provided information below and correspond with which holder they are listed under. Click the black button and use the sizing chart on the runner or holder's product page to identify your runner or holder's length by finding your skate size and width.
