beaucoup_fish 0 Report post Posted November 5, 2004 Hey guys, just wondering if CCM still makes the original 652 Tacks skates? I've been trying to find them IN STORE (as online buying is not an option - those damn CCRA charges), but have been unsuccessful in the Toronto area. I know there must be significant demand for this skate, but the last time I see them as a new model is 2002. Anyone have any info? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jjtt99 0 Report post Posted November 5, 2004 In my opinion, the CCM 652 is one of the best skate values out there. I often participate on the CCM forum and they know it's a popular selling skate so they should be available.The moderators on the CCM site are pretty good for answering consumer questions. You may want to give it a shot as they may be behind in shipments or something like that.http://en.ccmsports.com/community/forum/index.phpI skated on 652's for years, then last year upgraded to an 852 and I'm still a happy camper.Cheers,JJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jjtt99 0 Report post Posted November 5, 2004 I guess I'm focusing on the 652 part as 652 "Super Tacks" are still around. I don't know the difference between super and original. Do the supers come with little red capes or something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chadd 916 Report post Posted November 5, 2004 The original had the classic styling, plain black with the white plastic bit on the side. The super tacks are the modern styling and construction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JR Boucicaut 3795 Report post Posted November 5, 2004 The skates Modano, Chelios and Guerin still skate in if that's any help. Due to popular demand CCM re-released them in 2000. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
