EQUIPMENT CARE & TIPS:

  • NEVER store skates with hard guards on.  Store wrapped in towel or soft guards.  Always dry blades thoroughly before storing
  • Skates are not like shoes.  You need to buy the right size to assure proper support.  No more than a finger should fit behind heel with toes pushed to front
  • Please do not tie skates around the ankle!  Double bow to get rid of excess lace
  • Rec Skates that say they come sharpened, do not have a proper sharpening.  Please get skates sharpened before first skate
  • Figure Skates - please contact our Coach @ coachkunka24@gmail.com for locations that specialize in figure skate sharpening
