The Whole Story

Lynne and Tom have been together since 1972.  They have two daughters who each played soccer for the province and each won club national championships, and who earned D-1 full rides.  Lynne worked in school psychology at Jane/Finch for 35 years.  Lynne handles all accounts, bookkeeping, logistics, and shares customer service with Tom.

Inventor, Tom Stewart, was homeless in 1979-80 in a downtown Toronto laneway.  He became a television Field Producer, Producer, Director, Writer, Studio Director (CFTO, CTV, GLOBAL, CHCH, CH. 4, Buffalo), then Creator and an Executive Producer of the #1 prime-time drama, 'No Place Like Home', starring Jennifer Dale.  Tom worked closely with Jim Carrey, Ronnie Hawkins, Dinah Christie, Alan Eagleson, Premier Davis, Ms. Universe, Karen Baldwin, Rolling Stone keyboardist Ian Stewart, and Brian Williams.  Tom created a series of Public Service Announcements to help reduce child abuse, which garnered a near half page article in the Toronto Star.  Tom's reading video, alphabet troupe, helped disadvantaged families teach their pre-schoolers phonics for only $10, and was featured in the Toronto Star and on Canada AM.  Tom was selected to Co-host a 13-part Discovery Channel series, 'Patent Bending', which became #1 in Canada.

All this time, Tom was frustrated with backyard soccer nets he purchased.  He left TV, drove a fork truck for ten years, and created Eznet.  It is now in 25 countries.

Renowned UEFA 'A' Pro Coach, scientist, FIFA Technical Director, Dr. Vanessa Martinez Lagunas, who bought 24 Eznets 9 years ago which are still in use, writes: "Eznet is the best design in the world, in my opinion".  Canada leads the world in backyard soccer  net design with Eznet! Yay Canada!

Allstate Insurance, a Partner, purchased 120 Eznets and branded them and the bag for two giveaway promotions.

The Homeless World Cup Foundation selected Eznet as their "Team Training Net" in Glasgow, Norway, Mexico, and the United States, and gave Eznets to 25 shelters around the world, because they needed a rugged net for impoverished areas where rocks and dirt are the field, with no Home Hardware in sight.  Eznet is also the Team Training Net of the Canadian Street Soccer team.

Ontario soccer clubs purchased 20+ at a time.  Not a single complaint.  London TFC, Royal York FC, Sarnia FC, Oakville Jaguars, North York FC, Toronto Azzuri, Pickering SC.  CAF uses Eznet as Official U5 U6.

For ball hockey, Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation's Road Hockey to Conquer Cancer, a Partner, has used only Eznets since Day 1, with not a crack in 15 years.  Scotiabank and Pizza Pizza branded Eznets for a number of events.

Hometown Hockey with Ron MacLean selected Eznet for their entire 8 year tour.  Not even one crack ever.

Eznet is a proud to be selected as the official net of the Canada Scores Toronto elementary schools program.
