The Haydenettes are a senior-level synchronized skating team representing Hayden Figure Skating Club. They are four-time bronze medalists at the World Synchronized Skating Championships, earning the title in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013. Formed in 1979 by Lynn Benson, the Haydenettes are the most successful synchronized skating team in U.S. history, with 23 U.S. National titles.

Members of the Haydenettes are required to have mastered advanced figure skating skills, including senior level moves, strong dance test levels 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, and the New England Sports Center in Marlborough, 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.

Hayden Figure Skating Club fields currently twelve 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. The Hayden Synchro Teams are well known not only for their skating, but for their philanthropy.

Hayden Figure Skating Club has eight synchronized skating teams at nine competitive levels and three adult levels:

The Haydenettes are coached by Saga Krantz, Kendra Flanagan, Erika Hoffman, and Sam Mortimer.

A resident of Boston, Saga Krantz has been head coach for the Haydenettes since 2005. From 2000 to 2004, Krantz was director of Helsingin Taitoluisteluklubi (HTK) in Helsinki, Finland. Under Krantz's coaching, the HTK senior team Rockettes won World silver, Finnish National gold and silver medals and the junior team Team Fintastic won Finnish National gold medal. Saga Krantz was also recognized as the 2008 PSA Synchronized Coach of the Year. Krantz speaks Finnish, English, and Swedish.
