Custom SkateWorks UltraStop Shot Protector.

We see a lot of used skates come through our doors at HockeyStickMan, and anytime they have shot protectors on them, they are from Custom Skate Works. These are professional grade shot protectors used by NHL players as well as other professional hockey players. We knew that if we wanted to carry shot protectors, they had to be the best ones out there. These are HSM approved and we are proud to be offering them in our Elite Pro Shop and online.

Newly introduced at the retail level by HockeyStickMan we are proud to offer a professional grade shot protectors to you.

The 3mm Ultrastop Protector Foam is a non-porous impact absorbing foam. It is top laminated with abrasion and cut resistant superfabric and bottom laminated with non-reusable pressure sensitive adhesive.

One package comes with four pieces for the inside and outside of your skates. These are designed to fit skates sizes 5-12 and must be cut to the proper shape based on the template provided and your skate.

Please be sure to bake your skates before applying the shot protectors.  Overheating them can cause delamination or premature cracking.

How to find the right size 

Pictured above is where you can find the size of steel that will fit in your skate holder based on the number printed on the holder. On both skates there is a 3 digit number on the outside side of the white holder on the bottom of your skate. This number will coincide with one of the options above and that is guaranteed to fit your skate.

Bauer and CCM steel will fit differently so it is important to choose Edge steel or XS steel based on the brand of skate you own. It is important to note that if you own a pro stock pair of skates the holder may not be the same brand as the skate. For example we see many CCM skates with Bauer Lightspeed Edge holders. If this is the case for you, order the steel that is the same brand as your holder and not the boot. 

Lightspeed Edge = Bauer steel

Speedblade XS = CCM steel

Vertexx = Bauer goalie steel.
