When purchasing a new pair of hockey skates, it is important to focus on fit. If you’re unsure which skate line or model fits your foot best, or if you want an accurate measurement and assessment, visit your local Elevate Sporting.

The new True Catalyst skate line is built for agility and precision. The carbon fiber one-piece shell offers players an ultra-lightweight, comfortable, and flexible feel. This combined with the asymmetrical, low-profile toe cap and a lightweight orthotic-grade performance foam in the ankles, will give players a closer feel to help improve their stride.

A unique feature found in the True Catalyst 5 skates is the adjustable felt tongue and the replaceable tendon guard that is attached at the back of the skate with a single rivet. This allows the tongue to fit to your comfort preference and the tendon guard to have a lot of give, allowing you a greater range of motion. 

For comfort and protection, the True Catalyst 5 features a lightweight boot and a synthetic side panel. The black moisture wicking liner helps eliminate moisture and secures your foot in the boot, preventing sliding and increasing energy transfer. 

The Catalyst 5 features a new Shift Max holder with improved durability and bench change technology. Attached to the holder is the Shift Max high grade stainless steel for optimal edge retention and a better bite. 

The True Catalyst 5 skate may sit at a lower price point, but it includes plenty of high-level features and technologies, with the right comfort and feel for the casual players who are still looking for performance benefits to help their game.
