                • Figure Skate Sharpening: Getting figure skates sharpened at a local figure skate-specific sharpener is recommended.

The prices at the local sharpener recommended by club coaches are $15 for most blades and $18 for stainless steel blades.

                • Hockey Skate Sharpening: For hockey skates go to any local sharpener (retail or private). The price at many local pro shops is $10 - $15.

                  • When To Sharpen Skates: It is recommended to get skates sharpened approximately every 15-20 hours of skating.
