{"product_id":"true-svh-flex-tendon-guard-single","title":"TRUE SVH Flex Tendon Guard - Single","description":"\u003cp\u003eA replacement tendon guard for TRUE SVH skates, sold as a single. The tendon guard is the padded flap at the back of the boot that sits over the Achilles tendon above the heel, and it is one of the few parts of a skate meant to be replaced rather than repaired.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a flex guard, so it hinges as the ankle opens instead of holding the leg upright. That is what lets a skater get a deeper knee bend without the back of the boot digging in. A guard that has cracked, torn at the rivet or gone stiff stops doing both of its jobs at once: it no longer shields the tendon from a stray puck or blade, and it no longer flexes cleanly through a stride. Fitting a new one restores the protection and the range of motion the boot was built with.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSold one at a time, so order a pair if you are doing both skates. Listed in senior size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor players with TRUE SVH skates who have damaged a guard, and for anyone keeping spare skate parts on the shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TRUE","offers":[{"title":"SR","offer_id":43027374800962,"sku":"490413","price":19.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/1585\/4658\/files\/tendon-guards-true-svh-flex-tendon-guard-single-1263814296.jpg?v=1792547173","url":"https:\/\/www.thehockeyshop.com\/products\/true-svh-flex-tendon-guard-single","provider":"TheHockeyShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
