When I played hockey years ago I was a defenseman and I would get them profiled for that position. But I didn't sharpen my skates every game usually every other or so. I feel it's more of a personal decision for each player.

My local rink does not have a pro shop anymore. I have to use mail service to send my runners to a shop!

1" for goalies hasn't really been a thing for 20 years. Most goalie skates are 3mm steel now and goalies use edges more than ever.

My 18 yr old daughter would like to learn to skate. She is going to use my older skates to try. Is it easier to learn on dull or sharp blades.

[@shubceee]

Nah dull skates make you fall easier

How much does it cost? (i go to this rink)

[@allovesstairs]

$25 for the skate shop sharpening (sparx machine) not sure about the manual sharpening

[@myskate3596]

Hey cidyyx, yep Aimee is correct - $25 for the Sparx machine, $30 for a manual sharpening. You'll need to leave your skates with us for the manual sharpening. Hope this helps :)
