                      Professional Skate Sharpening

Properly sharpened skates is essential to your performance whether you are a hockey player,  coach, on-ice official or recreational skater.  Professional skate sharpening is a term that is often used, but few skate sharpeners understand the process.  The most important aspect of skate sharpening is to keep both blade edges level.  If these edges are not level,  your skates will not "bite" the ice properly and slipping will occur.

It is our belief that professional skate sharpening begins with a professional machine.  At Clifton Park Ice Arena we use the best machine money can buy, The Blackstone Radius.  This Triple head machine not only allows us to sharpen your skates to your specifications, but it also enables us to contour your skates using the Custom Radius System. 

We have built our business around excellence and we take great pride in the professional job that we will do for you.

                                    Custom Radius Contouring    

Skate contouring is a precision system of shaping skate blades to the individual specifications of each player.  Accurate positioning of the balance point on the blade provides maximum stability and movement.  Contouring, is simply "not removing metal from the heel and toe area of the skate blade.  Sharpeners have been "rockering" skate blades this way for years with no consistency from one skate to the next.  This is a precision process that can not be done without a suitable machine such as the Blackstone Pro Radius machine.

Contouring shapes and balances blades to match the skaters' natural stance and style.  A very important fact of contouring is that each blade is ground to conform to the exact shape of the other.

Custom Radius Contouring       $23.36  plus NYS Sales Tax
