Front Row Sports - Skate Sharpening

What is Skate Sharpening...

Skate sharpening is the method by which skates are maintained. However, we at Front Row Sports believe that it is much more than that!! Skate sharpening is a precise procedure process which joins the athlete to his or her playing surface.

We feature 4 types of sharpening:
1. Contour
2. Flat Bottom V
3. Regular Hockey
4. Figure Skate

Each sharpening is customized based on the athletes weight, skating style, and outside weather temperature. (i.e.) If the skater is a heavy individual with a hard stride, he or she will need less of an edge than will a skater who is lighter on their feet,...as more pressure will be transferred from their bodies to the ice.

Also, all of our sharpening wheels are adjusted in accordance with the temperature outside. the colder it is, the harder the ice is thus requiring the skater to have a greater edge for better performance. Every skater's needs, from the precession figure skater to the pick-up hockey player can be accommodated by us as we are able to sharpen within a radius from 3/16" to 6".
