CCM Tacks Intermediate Goalie Equipment Combo – Special Edition

CCM Tacks Intermediate Goalie Leg Pads – Special Edition

CCM has a completely new line for 2026.  The Tacks is a new goalie name for CCM, and this is a completely new and redesigned pad for 2026.

Goalies Plus had to make a decision for 2026, go with the CCM Tacks line or go with the Warrior Surge line.  We choose the CCM pad as we felt it would fit a larger portion of our customers with the new break angle of the pads along with other features we preferred over the Warrior line.  At Goalies Plus, we are trying to stay away from super stiff pads with no pre-mold built in them as we have seen a growing rise in knee and hip issues over the past several years.  Although a super stiff pad with no pre-mold may be good for some goalies, we have seen the majority of our customers’ needs a pad with a defined pre-mold or softer built features.  This is our opinion based on our customers’ feedback and we felt the CCM better suited what we were looking for.

The Goalies Plus CCM Tacks goalie leg pads will come in six custom and unique colors.  This pad is completely new for CCM, not resembling anything of models past. The Tack Goalie Pad will have the new V-Shape. This new modern and technical shape has a thin profile and a 150-degree bend at the bottom of the knee.  This is a stiffer pad however with this 150-degree bend, it allows the goalie to get into the butterfly position with a full five-hole seal without forcing the body into undo stress on the knees and hips.  Without a v-shape or pre-mold to the leg pads, a goalie that does not have natural body flexibility to seal a straight stiff pad is forced to contort their body in unnatural positions which can eventually lead to injury.  This is a big problem we see day to day at Goalies Plus.

The v-shape of the CCM tacks leg pads also serve as a technical advantage for goalies.  The shape of this pad naturally places rebounds in angles and safer areas for the goalie.  The high-density FZN 150-V Core of the Tacks goalie pads has an explosive rebound that today’s goalies are looking for.

CCM will continue to utilize the Dynamic Response System knee stack.  This knee stack system integrates into the core of the pad which allows for more stability and control and therefore a greater performance benefit to the goalie.  The DRS knee stack system also has great impact absorption ability which takes pressure off the goalies’ joints and back.  The constant pounding a goalie takes from going up and down takes its toll on the body and the DRS helps with this issue.

The boot of the CCM Tacks leg pads will have a very soft boot flex – again very popular in today’s pad market.  This will allow for maximum foot and ankle mobility in various save recovery movements. The boot will also feature a shallow channel (basically no channel).  This has become extremely popular with every brand over the past few years.

The strapping systems of the CCM tacks goalie leg pads will also be new for 2026.  The ADPTFIT strapping system.  The APDTFIT on the Tacks leg pads is an upper adjustable zone that a goalie can customize to their particular needs.  It has a generous sized inner calf wrap that fully sucres the pad to the goalie’s leg maximum comfort.

The thigh rise on the Tacks leg pads is very tall for a plus one.  We would say that the Tacks plus one is more like everyone else’s plus two.  Just something to keep in mind when placing an order.

The width of the CCM Tacks Intermediate leg pads do vary based on height.  The 29+1- & 30+1-inch pads are ten inches wide and the 31+1-inch pads are ten and a half inches wide.

The inner edge of the CCM Tacks goalie pads will have the cross-glide technology.  This material slides much better than the old CCM Speedskin.  Based on professional feedback, it has a good slide, not the most slidable pad on the market but very good.  Vaughn and Brian’s have the most slidable surfaces with Bauer and CCM coming in about the same slideability. So, for a goalie that wants a little more control in their butterfly slides, the cross-glide pad is a great option.

CCM will use a hybrid lace system in the Tack leg pads versus a bungee toe tie system.  The hybrid lace system is a skate lace system with built in slack to allow the goalie skate free range of motion without any restriction.  The hybrid toe tie has a Velcro connection at the ends that allow for quick and easy connection while getting dressed.  Here at Goalies Plus, we deal with a large amount of NHL pro return gear – most of which use a skate lace system versus a bungee system.

CCM Tacks Intermediate Goalie Catch Glove – Special Edition

Special Edition 580 Break: The Goalies Plus special edition colors will all have the single t – 580 break.  The one exception is the All-White color; this will have the double t – 590 break.

The Tacks is a new goalie name for CCM, and this is a completely new and redesigned glove for 2026. Each year CCM continues to improve their glove quality which has been an issue in the past.  The last two models (F9 and 7.9) have been significantly better than the older models, but the new CCM Tacks takes another step forward. Some new features of the Tacks catch glove is the VOTRX pocket and tee.  This is designed to keep the pocket and tee stiff while allowing for maximum coverage size when presenting to a shooter.  The design of this is to completely seal the glove to the ice when a goalie is covering a puck.  The catching t is also deeper on the new Tacks glove with an extra inch of depth added to the catching pocket.

The CCM Tacks Catch Glove will continue to use the Flexmotion design on the backhand of the glove.  This effectively allows the glove to open and close properly.  This also has a greater range of adjustability compared to past CCM gloves.  The internal strapping on the back of the hand has also been redesigned to allow for more adjustability and comfort.  This is the Cross Form Strap System.

The cuff and thumb of the new CCM Tacks catch glove will have a LITECORE core.  This has been a popular feature of the past generation CCM catch glove, so it was brought back for the Tacks glove. This is an injected molded material that keeps its shape even after extreme pounding from shots to the cuff.  It is important to know that non injection molded cuffs will flatten out over time from the abuse a glove takes. The palm of the Tacks catch glove will utilize a layered foam protection in the palm area to help eliminate stingers.

In the finger area, the Tacks glove will have individual finger stalls.  A mesh material was used for comfort but also a quicker drying time.  The inner palm will continue to use the Sure Grip material that has been very popular for many years.  This material allows the palms and fingers to grip the palm with little to no slippage, adding more overall control for the goalie.

At 2.0 pounds, the CCM Tacks is a lightweight glove that is both protective and shaped in a manner that helps take up maximum net coverage.

CCM Tacks Intermediate Goalie Blocker – Special Edition

The Tacks is a new goalie name for CCM in 2026. For the first time in many years, CCM has redesigned their goalie blocker.  The new CCM Tacks Blocker will feature the LITECORE in the blocking board.  This material is incredibly lightweight and adds an explosive pop off the face of the blocker.

The palm of the CCM Tacks Blocker has also been redesigned to allow for more comfort and mobility when the goalie is stick handling.  The Hexa Palm is a lightweight and very comfortable palm with mesh finger gussets.  This lightweight material is not only durable but dries quicker than a traditional palm. It also gives the goalie a better feel on the stick compared to older, thicker palms. The pointer finger of the palm has added HD foam at the tip while the rest of the fingers have full wrap around protection.

The sidewall of the CCM Tacks Blocker will be a stiff sidewall which is important to the blocking area when a goalie rolls their wrist during a save or skating movement.  If a goalie turns their wrist making a save, the sidewall will not cave in and allow pucks to push through the blocker for untimely goals.

The CCM Tacks Blocker has a centered position which gives the blocker its most balanced feel.
