Are your skates 'ice ready'?
MARQUETTE -- I t's still hockey season, and that means players are in need of sharp skates. B ut how do the skates get sharpened?
Employees at H ockey C entral use a machine specially designed to sharpen skates. T he machine does the sharpening while B ill does the man e uvering of the skate against the spinning blade. U -shaped edges are carved into the blade, which allows for added stability when on the ice.
Hockey Central Owner Bill Kiple said, "It makes a hollow in the bottom of the ski blade so you end up with actually two edges so that when the skater banks, they have one edge that's digging into the ice and another one that's kind of grinding across the top."
K eeping your ice skates or hockey skates sharp is a necessity. I f they aren't sharp, you won't move on the ice.
P roper care of your skates is crucial as well. K eeping the blades wrapped up in something soft is ideal so they won't rip anything when you're off the ice .
