The CCM Tacks 9370R Skates pack a serious punch of performance and comfort at this price point! Most notable is the extra supportive and snug-fitting synthetic composite boot with advanced MetaFrame Technology. With already premium out-of-the-box fit and comfort, the heat molding process makes the 9370R feel like a custom skate before you even break them in! Below the boot has been well upgraded for competitive play. The one-piece aluminum FastFrame offers a big jump in longevity and durability. It holds CCM Multi-Surface wheels which provide stellar grip for basically any surface outside of rough asphalt. Meanwhile, the Rizon 9 bearings improve top-end speed and overall glide too! For those looking to customize their skate, the Tacks 9370R rocks the new replaceable XS Tongue System. It currently comes with a traditional reinforced felt tongue that attaches to the toe tap via a secure snap system. With three XS Tongue Replacements to choose from, players can further customize internal volume with thinner or thicker tongues, or even increase protection since two models come with D3O Smart Foam!
