Happy Customers
Skaters Edge is a great place to go for your skates. I highly recommend it. Dave’s knowledge of the skate blade is above all. His excellent customer and enthusiasm gets you the best blade set up for your skating style. He helped me immensely with my new skate set up. And that has increased my enjoyment for playing hockey. He says; “The skate blade is the most important part of your equipment, it connects you to the ice.” He is completely correct. Thank you Dave.
If you want your skates sharpened right, go to Skater’s Edge in Loveland. They also recently started profiling skates as well, and after mine were profiled I noticed an immediately an improvement in my balance while skating. I recommend profiling to hockey players of all abilities.
