Ekblad, Aaron
Bauer Vapor 1X Skates
Florida Panthers 2016-17
#5

This pair of Bauer Vapor 1X skates has been exclusively authorized for authentication and distribution by the Aaron Ekblad-Florida Panthers-MeiGray Group Game-Used Equipment Program, designed to protect the integrity of the budding NHL star defenseman's game-worn and game-used items.

Ekblad wore this pair of skates during the first half of the 2016-17 NHL regular season.

These skates are photo-matched. A photographic LOA will accompany this pair of skates.

Drafted first overall by the Florida Panthers in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, Ekblad validated that selection by breaking into the NHL as an 18-year-old and winning the 2014-15 Calder Trophy as the NHL's top rookie.

A solid passer with great hockey sense, Ekblad has the ability to use his 6-foot-4, 215-pound size to take control in any zone. In only three NHL seasons he has emerged as one of the league's top franchise defensemen.
