Built for protection and a secure, comfortable fit, the 2026 CCM Tacks Vector Premier Hockey Shin Guards are designed to keep players confident in every battle along the boards and in front of the net. Exclusive to Source for Sports, these shin guards feature an injected shin cap that delivers strong, lightweight protection right where it’s needed most.
Calf protection is built with compress-molded EVA foam and D3O® SHOTBLOCK technology to help absorb and disperse impact from blocked shots and collisions. A JDP kneecap construction helps redirect impact forces away from the joint, while mid-density foam combined with PE plastic reinforced side guards modeled after the XR series adds enhanced coverage and stability through contact.
The XR inspired padded stretch strap system provides a secure yet flexible fit that moves with the player, while the ADPTFIT length-adjustable calf strap allows for a more personalized lockdown for the demands of the game.

How to Use This Size Guide
- While sitting with your knee bent at a 90 degree angle, measure from the middle of your knee to the top of your skate boot just above the first eyelet (not top of the tongue). If the measurements put you in two different sizes, we recommend relying on the Tibia Length first.
- If you wear your shin guards outside of your skate tongue (“Tongues In”), we recommend taking one size bigger than what is recommended.
- Measure your height to see in which category you fit in to.
