What We Do

Our Services

Precision sharpening, expert fittings, and the right gear, done in-house by people who skate. This is the science of skating.

Hand sharpening skates at the Ice Lab bench

01 · Sharpening

Precision sharpening

The heart of a pro shop. Every blade is hand-finished and dialed to your hollow, the depth of the groove cut into your blade, so it matches exactly how you skate. We remember your preference so it is the same every single visit.

  • Hand-finished on our machine, every time
  • Dialed to your hollow and remembered visit to visit
  • Quick turnaround so you are back on the ice fast

02 · Fittings

Expert fittings

A skate that does not fit will hold you back. We fit boots properly, in-house, for hockey players and figure skaters of every level, so your gear works with you instead of against you from day one.

  • Heat molding to shape the boot to your foot
  • Punch-outs to relieve pressure points
  • Blade mounting & alignment done right

Skate repairs & conversions

We fix what we can so you get more seasons out of your gear. Rivets and eyelets, holder and runner replacements, blade swaps, and conversions, all handled in-house at the bench.

  • Rivets & eyelets replaced and reinforced
  • Holders, runners & blade swaps done right
  • Conversions to keep your setup dialed in
