Provenance
Acquired in 2008 from the Nashville Predators Equipment Sale, this Easton Synergy SE composite stick is attributed to Jean-Pierre Dumont, used during the 2010–2011 NHL season. The stick bears autographs consistent with team sale authentication practices at the time. Very little signs of use and tape only present on shaft implies that stick may be practice-used or game-issued; not game used.
Description and Significance
The Synergy SE was part of Easton’s evolution of high-performance composite sticks during the late 2000s, emphasizing balance, torsional rigidity, and energy transfer. Dumont, known for his offensive awareness and accurate shot, was a consistent contributor for Nashville throughout the late 2000s, recording multiple 20-goal seasons.
This stick type aligns with those used by Dumont during his final active years with the Predators, prior to his retirement from professional play in 2012. Its inclusion in the Archive highlights the mid-to-late transition period of the franchise’s offensive core and the growing adoption of all-composite technology across the NHL.
