New for the 2022 season are the True Catalyst 5 Senior Ice Hockey Skates from True Hockey. True is using advances in technology and state of the art manufacturing, to bring a skate to the market that brings the benefits synonymous with True skates, in an affordable competitive level skate. Starting with the boot, the True Catalyst 5 Ice Hockey Skates are a culmination of thousands of foot scans and hundreds of hours of development to get as close to a custom skate fit as possible, in a stock skate. The True Catalyst 5 shell uses TRUESHELL tech, their proprietary co-molded carbon fiber and thermoplastic one-piece shell creates a thermoformed boot. This provides a high level of protection and performance while staying ultra-lightweight. Moving down the boot the asymmetrical toe cap is redesigned to feature a low profile allowing for a more aggressive cutting angle resulting in quicker turns in transition without losing an edge. Moving to the top of the skate, the True Catalyst 5 skates feature a mid-grade felt tongue with T-guard. The tongue has a stiff and contoured design allowing for a lightweight but anatomical fit for enhanced comfort. The tongue allows for the player to easily position it to fit their style and comfort level. Also featured is a replaceable tendon guard with single rivet. Jumping down to the bottom of the True Catalyst 5 skates, True is using its tried-and-true versatile SHIFT MAX Holder. The SHIFT MAX holders feature enhanced BenchChange technology allowing for faster blade replacement without the need for a special tool. Simply pull the blue slider back, pop the blade out, and replace with the replacement runner. These holders are specifically designed to keep you from missing critical time on the ice. The True Catalyst skates will also use SHIFT MAX high grade 7CR Stainless Steel runners. These runners will enhance the longevity of skate sharpenings and provide a sharper edge, helping increase acceleration and durability. The True Catalyst 5 Ice Hockey Skate will be thermoformable to further enhance the fit and comfort of the skate and make sure that your foot has the best fit inside the boot as possible. If you are a competitive-level skater looking for best in class performance and affordability, look no further than the True Catalyst 5 Senior Ice Hockey Skates.
