Steel / Blade Contouring and Profiling

Every hockey skate blade is like a rocking chair. If you think of a speed skater, their blade is very long and flat. This flat steel provides speed and glide, but makes turning difficult because there is too much contact with the ice. The opposite, would be a hockey skate blade with a high arc. In this case, the player can turn like crazy, like a shopping cart wheel, but lacks speed. We match the blade arc to the skater (position, height, weight, etc) to create the perfect balance. Just stop by with your skates and let us provide a free inspection. We'll let you know the pitch and the profile of your skates.
