VAN NUYS, Calif. – The best skates in hockey just got even better.  Easton Hockey has introduced two new skates for 2008 – the Stealth S15 and the Synergy SE16.  The Stealth S15, touted as the lightest performance hockey skate on the market, is the latest addition to the highly regarded Stealth skate line.  The Synergy line also receives a new addition with the SE16, a stellar combination of comfort, protection and durability.

“Easton has jumped to the forefront of the skate market in the past few years and the Stealth S15 and Synergy SE16 are reconfirming our position,” said Ned Goldsmith, vice president of Easton Hockey. “Easton’s NHL players are already raving about the new additions.  Dany Heatley of the Ottawa Senators and Ryan Getzlaf of the Anaheim Ducks have both been thrilled with the performance and comfort the new skates provide.  Now it’s time to get the product into consumers’ hands and let them experience the superiority of Easton skates.”

The Stealth S15, representing the lightest performance hockey skate on the market, weighs in at sub-700 grams.  Its patented Coil Technology uses silver texalium composite material to provide a lightweight, responsive and protective bootform, perfect for high-speed hockey action. The S15 also provides a Bio-Dri™ Composite Footbed to absorb moisture and eliminate the difficulties that perspiration presents. 

The Synergy SE16 features a brand new Ideal-Fit™ latex anatomical ankle padding system that allows for tremendous support and comfort.  With its unique, one-piece construction, the SE16 is the ideal combination of performance and durability.
