The Haydenettes are a senior-level synchronized skating team representing The Skating Club of Boston in Norwood, Massachusetts, United States. They are the 2024 silver medalist and six-time bronze medalists (2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2016 and 2025) at the World Synchronized Skating Championships. Formed in 1979 by Lynn Benson, the Haydenettes are the most successful synchronized skating team in U.S. history, with 30 U.S. National titles.

Team

Members of the Haydenettes are required to have mastered advanced figure skating skills, including senior-level moves, gold-level pattern dances, and at least novice freestyle. The Hayden teams draw skaters from around the world, though the teams are composed primarily of skaters from the greater Boston area. The Haydenettes practice at both the Hayden Recreation Center in Lexington, Massachusetts, the New England Sports Center in Marlborough, Massachusetts, and The Skating Club of Boston in Norwood, Massachusetts. Synchronized skating is sanctioned by U. S. Figure Skating (USFS) and the International Skating Union (ISU), the two governing bodies for all skating events in the U.S. and internationally, respectively.

Associated teams

Hayden Synchro fields currently nine divisions in synchronized skating that compete under sanctioning by USFSA. Each of the teams appear in various ice shows, exhibitions and other events around the country.

Hayden Figure Skating Club has eight synchronized skating teams at eight competitive levels:

  1. Mini Shooting Stars, Beginner
  2. Shooting Stars, Preliminary
  3. Shooting Stars, Pre-Juvenile
  4. Mini Mates, Juvenile
  5. Star Mates, Intermediate (Novice in 2019 and 2020)
  6. Ice Mates, Novice (Intermediate in 2019 and 2020)
  7. Lexettes, Junior
  8. Hayden Select, Elite 12 Senior
  9. Haydenettes, Senior

Coaches

The Haydenettes are coached by Saga Krantz and assistant coaches Ashley Tomich and Lee Chandler.

Saga Krantz was also recognized as the 2008 Professional Skating Association (PSA) Synchronized Skating Coach of the Year and was inducted into the PSA Coaches Hall of Fame in 2023. Krantz speaks Finnish, English, and Swedish.

Practice

The Haydenettes practice for about 10 hours on ice per week during the school year, with an average practice length for the year of 16 hours per week.
