The highly anticipated update to the CCM’s Tacks line is finally here. Ideal for the recreational player who wants to step on the ice right on day one, the AS-550 includes an HD microfibre liner, a 3D-injected boot construction, and a 115 stiffness rating.

Skate Fit & Stiffness Profile
The AS-550 skate has a 115 stiffness rating, which is a much more flexible boot compared to higher-end Tacks skates. Flexible boots are best for players who don’t play hockey as often, as well as those who are just learning how to skate and play the game. This skate will be much easier to break in and skate in for developing players. These skates are only available in Regular fit.

Boot Construction
The boot on the Youth skate uses injected technology coupled with mesh skin. This formation softens the boot a bit more and makes it much more comfortable for small, developing feet, in addition to making the boot a bit more durable.
