The hockey helmet is the most important piece of equipment for all hockey players, regardless of age and level. Modern hockey helmets are developed with advanced materials and impact absorbing technologies to protect the head during checks, falls and physical play. The most important thing, however, is that the helmet fits correctly – a helmet with the right fit always provides the best protection. For children and juniors, a cage must always be attached to the helmet to protect the face. Most helmets are offered either as a standalone helmet or in a combo version with a cage.
CCM’s Tacks series is designed for players who prioritize a close and stable fit with a focus on protection and a secure feeling on the ice. The helmets are built on a construction where the shell, liner and adjustment system work together to keep the helmet in the correct position even at high speed. In this guide, we go through four popular models – CCM Tacks 920, Tacks 720, Tacks 210 and Tacks 70 – with explanations of what sets them apart and what type of player they suit best.

Comparison of CCM hockey helmets
Which CCM hockey helmet should I choose?
The choice of a CCM helmet mainly depends on how often you play and at what level. The higher the speed and the more physical the game, the greater the demands on how the helmet fits, how energy from impacts is managed and how well ventilation works during longer sessions on the ice.
CCM Tacks 920 is developed for high-level players where great demands are placed on the equipment. The helmet is built with advanced impact protection and an adjustment system that provides a stable and personal fit.
CCM Tacks 720 offers modern features but in a slightly less advanced construction. Tacks 720 is a strong option for players at all levels who train and play regularly.
Tacks 210 suits players who want a stable fit and reliable protection in a more traditional helmet construction – a safe and affordable choice for players who play regularly.
Tacks 70 is a simpler model aimed primarily at youth players or those looking for a simple and affordable helmet for occasional play.
