Welcome to Old_Time_Hockey, where we curate the artifacts of fascination from the global game. Today, we are featuring a foundational piece of 1990s equipment: the CCM Tacks 652 in a size 14" Senior.
The Tacks 652 was the gold standard for pro-level durability during the 90s. While the industry eventually shifted to lighter synthetics, these leather-shell classics remain the preferred choice for purists who value a traditional high-volume fit and the unmistakable "heft" of vintage CCM craftsmanship.
"Time Capsule" Palms: It is incredibly rare to find 30-year-old Tacks with palms in this condition. These appear to have been used once or twice at most—or perhaps only tried on in-store—offering the buyer a virtually "new old stock" feel.
Flex Zone Cuff Technology: A hallmark of the 652 series, the integrated flex zones in the cuff allow for superior wrist mobility without sacrificing the protection of a traditional long-cuff glove.
Premium Leather Build: Manufactured during the peak of CCM's leather era, these gloves offer a level of durability and "break-in" potential that modern foam-and-nylon gloves cannot match.
Iconic 4-Roll Silhouette: This is the quintessential hockey glove shape—simple, effective, and favored by pro players for decades.
Exterior: Black Leather / White Trim. Excellent condition; minor shelf wear/scuffs from storage.
Palms: Original Nash Leather. Near-Mint/Like-New condition.
Padding: 4-Roll Backhand / Thumb Protectors. Stiff and fully intact.
Cuffs: Flex Zone construction is supple and functional.
Interior: Natural yellowing present on the liner due to age.
