What Is Profiling
Profiling reshapes the steel along its length to tune how your skates sit on the ice—controlling balance, acceleration, agility, and top-speed stability. A sharpen then fine-tunes bite versus glide on that profile.
Blade Shape
We set radii/zones (Quad, Zuperior, Ellipse) so your contact points match how you skate.
Pitch & Balance
Micro-adjusts your center of gravity (toe-biased, neutral, heel-biased) to change first steps and edge feel.
Edge Contact
Optimizes steel-to-ice for smoother transitions and more predictable pushes.
When to Profile
- New steel or new holders
- Feel off-balance / lose quick starts
- Switching style or position
What You’ll Feel
- Quicker first steps & tighter turns
- More stable top speed
- Smoother edge-to-edge
How We Do It
- Quick chat about your goals
- Cut final profile & sharpen to your hollow
- Borrow demo blades to test at your next ice time
How to test: We don’t use in-store tiles. Borrow up to three demo blades and use them all in the same ice time for back-to-back feel. Swapping across three separate skates makes it hard to remember how the first setup felt.

FAQ
Do I need to book an appointment?
No booking needed. To confirm demo blade sizes, check our contact & hours page and call.
How often should I re-profile?
Typically 1–2× per season, or any time you replace steel/holders, feel a balance change, or your goals change.
What brands are demo blades available for?
CCM and Bauer holders. Availability varies by size.
Is profiling worth it if I only want a better sharpen?
Yes. Profiling shapes the entire blade (acceleration, transitions, speed, stability). The sharpen then fine-tunes bite vs glide on that profile.
