Tacks 9040

# CCM Tacks 9040 Hockey Skates


### Product Description: 


The CCM Tacks 9040 is an excellent choice for beginner and recreational hockey players. It's the most affordable skate in the Tacks line, featuring a comfortable injected mesh boot and a supportive microfiber liner. The pre-sharpened, non-replaceable stainless steel blades allow you to hit the ice right away, while the slightly elevated holder provides a more aggressive skating stride. However, these blades cannot be replaced when they become dull, so this skate is not intended for everyday players. Overall, the CCM Tacks 9040 is a good value for casual skaters and newcomers to the sport.

It occupies the entry-level position within the Tacks line, which has been a mainstay in CCM's hockey skate offerings for many years. The Tacks line is known for its focus on stiffness and responsiveness, catering to players who prioritize powerful skating and good ankle support.


### Perfect skates for:

recreational and entry-level player


### Key features include:



* A synthetic embossed quarter shell for durability.
* Heavy-duty microfiber liner for comfort and longevity.
* A low-profile injected outsole.
* CCM Footbed for support and comfort
* A non-replaceable stainless steel runner.


### Top competitors comparison: the [Bauer Nexus N2700](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/bauer/nexus-n2700/l9339) and the [True Hockey TF5](https://sidelineswap.com/search?q=True%20TF5). 

The Bauer Nexus N2700 skates offer a comparable level of performance to the Tacks 9040 skates, with a focus on comfort and stability. They feature a durable synthetic quarter package and a comfortable, padded liner for enhanced fit and feel. The Nexus N2700 skates also utilize the Tuuk Lightspeed Edge holder system for quick blade changes. On the other hand, the True TF5 skates provide a customizable fit with heat moldable technology, allowing for a personalized fit that adapts to the unique shape of the player's foot. They feature a composite boot construction for improved stiffness and support. 


### Progression:

The Tacks line categorizes skates based on player levels but doesn't follow a sequential order within each category.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* These skates are a solid choice for players looking for a good balance of performance and affordability. The boot offers decent stiffness for powerful strides, and the steel provides good edge control.
* The SpeedBlade XS steel feels lighter than other models, which is nice. The liner is also comfortable and provides good ankle support.
* I've been using these skates for a few months now, and they seem to be holding up well.  The materials feel solid, and I haven't noticed any major wear and tear yet. 

CONS:



* Compared to some higher-end skates, these don't offer a lot of customization options. The liner isn't thermoformable, so you're stuck with a more generic fit.
* These skates are definitely on the stiffer side. While that's good for power transfer, it might be a bit too much for beginner players who are still learning proper skating techniques. 
* I noticed a couple of minor stitching issues on my skates.  Nothing major, but for the price point, I would expect slightly better quality control. Hopefully, this isn't a widespread problem.


### Expert notes (by [Austin MacDonald](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/dstars79)) 

The Tacks 9040 is a great skate for people wanting to try out the Tacks line but don't want to spend $1,000 on the top model. This skate will have all the comfort features you'd expect, like the moisture-wicking capability and high-quality foam. These skates don't have the quick-release mechanism, which is usually right under the heel. The blades are durable, but after lots of sharpening, you will need to replace the blade over time. The 9040 is a great option for kids and youth skaters who will outgrow the skate before replacing the blade. It's a good stepping stone.
