Who benefits from contouring and custom sharpening?

In two words, all skaters. With very few exceptions, ice skate blades, as delivered from the factory are not ready for the ice, as it is economically impossible for any ice skate manufacturer to provide a matched pair of accurately profiled, balanced, and sharpened blades to meet an individual skater's preference. Instead most manufacturers provide an excess of blade stock and leave the actual shaping to the skate shop. A major contouring is theoretically required only once in the life of an ice skate blade. In practice, the more a skate is subject to poor sharpening, the more likely it is to require further contouring. It is a fact that there are skate sharpener "pretenders" who can, and do remove a contour during one skate sharpening session.

In addition to quality skate sharpening, having your hockey players skates “contoured” is the single most important thing you can have done to you child’s skates. Contouring is blade shaping, not sharpening. Skate contouring is a precision system of applying a radius along the length of the blade and a lie based on the individual specifications of each skater. Accurate positioning of the balance point of the skater to the blade provides maximum stability and maneuverability. Skates direct from the factory are inconsistent, and in a majority of cases have the incorrect radius and lie for the individual skater.

Once contoured, your hockey player will have improvements in:

• Increased Lateral Stability
• Increased Lateral Movement
• Increased Straightway Speed
• Increased Shooting Accuracy
• Increased Passing Accuracy
• Quicker Stops and Starts
• Shorter Radius Turns
• Reduced Muscle Fatigue
• Increased Balance
• Improved Puck Control
