Performance-level ice hockey skates are a great fit for players who are confident in their skating stride and are ready to take their on-ice performance to the next level. These players are on the ice 1-2 times a week playing mid-to-high level hockey.
-
Elite-Level
Elite-level ice hockey skates are built for the best performance, protection, durability, and comfort. These players are usually on the ice three times or more a week and are playing high-level hockey.
The True Shell Technology in the one-piece boot wraps and molds around the foot unlike anything else for a nearly custom-like fit and feel.
The asymmetrical toe cap furthers this anatomical fit profile through to the toes by reducing unnecessary extra space, resulting in a more connected feel and better responsiveness. The black felt tongue boasts center reinforcements that protect the top of the foot from impacts without inhibiting the range of motion. Similarly, the tendon guard provides solid range of motion for optimal energy transfer through every stride.
For the ultimate fitting experience that can be done without leaving the house, make sure to first Bake Your Skates at Home and then Check for Proper Skate Fit. If you are still unsatisfied with how they fit and feel, simply use the included pre-paid return label.
