EDGE TIPS

RADIUS OF HOLLOW

COMMON DISASTER SCENARIO

VARIABLES TO CONSIDER

The main variable to consider when first picking a radius is weight. As a general rule, the heavier the skater, the larger the radius needed. An extremely light skater can tolerate a very small radius (producing a deep hollow with lots of edge) because they don’t have much weight to bear on the ice.

VARIABLES TO CONSIDER

The main variable to consider when first picking a radius is weight. As a general rule, the heavier the skater, the larger the radius needed. An extremely light skater can tolerate a very small radius (producing a deep hollow with lots of edge) because they don’t have much weight to bear on the ice.

A heavy skater trying to skate on a small radius (too much edge) will bite into the ice so hard that they’ll have trouble stopping without chatter or going over the top of their skates. Another disadvantage is they‘ll lose glide to excess friction and be working harder to skate full speed. On the other hand, they‘ll be able to hold a very tight turn! Please note that beginner level skaters can learn most skills (particularly the hockey stop) easier by grinding their skates with a very large radius. As they progress the radii is decreased back to a normal level.

Your player skates on a local outdoor rink between an official game and/or practice. It’s a crapshoot what condition his or her skate blades will be in afterwards. Anything from partial to total loss of an edge to various nicks & burs. It’s better to be safe than sorry, give Edgerunner a call. 

Synthetic ice sessions are notoriously hard on edges. With more teams using  these surfaces as part of their training, sharpening after use becomes critical

even after a single session. 


BE CONSISTENT WITH SHARPENING FREQUENCY

Barring the above scenarios, its generally acceptable for younger hockey players to get their skates sharpened every four to five games/practices, although many players prefer more frequent sharpening.

EDGE CARE

COMMON DISASTER SCENARIO

EDGE CARE

IN  HOCKEY SKATING IS THE MOST IMPORTANT SKILL. PERIOD.

Speed, hustle and great stops, starts, and crossovers will stand  out. If you consistently get to the right place first, you’ll have an edge. 

Edgerunner gives you that edge.


LONGER LASTING EDGES

Making edges last longer is the responsibility of the skater, not the skate sharpener. Skate

LONGER LASTING EDGES

Making edges last longer is the responsibility of the skater, not the skate sharpener. Skate guards are an excellent way to protect edges. Walking on arena floors with bare skate blades is a sure way to ruin your edges. (this includes walking with soft or cloth skate protectors)  Always wipe your blades after you skate. There’s nothing worse than watching your player struggle during a game because of poor blade maintenance.
