VAN NUYS, Calif. – Easton Hockey, the industry leader in manufacturing technologically advanced hockey equipment, has once again started an NHL season with a red hot streak. More than 40 percent of NHLers from Anaheim to Ottawa, including half of the top ten scoring leaders, are using Easton one-piece and two-piece sticks, according to Ned Goldsmith, vice president of Easton Hockey.

“As illustrated in locker rooms across the NHL, the majority of players in the league prefer Easton’s unique technologies and performance benefits,” said Goldsmith.

The NHL points leader board shows a who’s who of hockey as five of the top ten are scoring with Easton, including Dany Heatley, Daniel Alfredsson, Eric Staal, and Peter Forsberg Also, four of the top five defensemen scoring leaders include Easton’s Bryan McCabe, Lubomir Visnovsky, Nicklas Lidstrom, and Wade Redden.

“Easton is known for its innovation and ingenuity in its sticks,” said Peter Forsberg, center for Philadelphia. “They raise their game with each new stick, which helps me raise my game on the ice. I wouldn’t trade using the most advanced sticks in the game for anything.”
