CCM Tacks XR Senior Shoulder Pads

CCM Tacks XR Senior: advanced protection for physical hockey

The CCM Tacks XR Senior Shoulder Pads are designed for players who regularly compete in high-traffic areas and need comprehensive coverage without sacrificing upper-body movement.

Rather than using the same protective material throughout the entire unit, CCM combines specialized technologies around different impact zones. This creates targeted protection for the shoulders, sternum, spine, lower back and upper arms.

ASD Anatomical Shield Design

The core construction uses ASD Anatomical Shield Design to follow the player's body and position protective components close to the areas they are intended to cover.

Compression-moulded PE foam provides substantial front and rear coverage while the mobility-focused construction allows the torso and arms to move naturally.

D3O protection at the sternum

The centre of the chest incorporates D3O protection at the sternum.

Positioning this material in a key frontal impact zone provides additional protection where direct contact can occur during physical play.

D3O reinforcement along the spine

D3O is also positioned around the back spine area, creating reinforced central coverage through the rear of the pads.

A single-piece back base panel and moulded EVA foam through the lower back complement this protective structure.

Low-profile JDP shoulder caps

The shoulders feature low-profile injected JDP caps with exposed foam coverage.

JDP construction is engineered to disperse impact force away from the shoulder joint, helping manage contact around one of the most exposed areas of the upper body.

The low-profile shape also helps control unnecessary bulk around the shoulders.

Integrated airflow channels

Front and rear air channels encourage airflow through the protective structure.

This ventilation-focused construction helps manage comfort during fast-paced practices and games when heat can build up underneath protective equipment.

ADPTFIT torso adjustment

The ADPTFIT system uses length-adjustable torso straps to help players customize how the pads sit around their body.

Fine-tuning the fit helps keep the protective panels properly positioned as the player skates, shoots and battles through contact.

Reinforced adjustable bicep guards

The upper arms are protected by injected plastic bicep guards.

Both strap length and guard height can be adjusted, allowing players to customize coverage according to arm length and the position of their elbow pads.

This helps create a more continuous protective setup between the upper arm and elbow.

Moulded EVA lower-back coverage

Moulded EVA foam extends protection through the lower section of the back.

This additional coverage complements the central spine protection and helps bridge the area between the shoulder pads and hockey pants.

Designed for high-traffic areas

The XR is particularly relevant for players who regularly battle along the boards, compete around the net or encounter frequent physical contact.

D3O, JDP and compression-moulded PE foam are distributed according to the demands of different anatomical zones, creating a more specialized protective package.

Who should choose the Tacks XR?

This model is particularly well suited to the regular or competitive adult hockey player who needs substantial coverage through the chest, shoulders and back.

It is especially relevant for players who spend time in high-traffic areas, battle along the boards or simply want more advanced protection for physical hockey.

The adjustable torso and bicep systems also make the XR an interesting option for players looking to fine-tune the relationship between their shoulder and elbow protection.

Why choose CCM Tacks XR Senior Shoulder Pads?

The strength of this protective package comes from combining several technologies rather than relying on a single layer of padding.

D3O reinforces the sternum and spine, JDP caps help manage forces around the shoulder joints, and compression-moulded PE foam provides broad torso coverage.

Air channels support ventilation, while ADPTFIT and adjustable bicep guards allow players to personalize the fit.

The result is an advanced combination of impact management, anatomical coverage, ventilation and customizable protection for demanding ice hockey.
