How often should i get my goalie skates sharpened?

Question

i just got new bauer xiv goalie skates how often should i get them sharpened and is 1/2" good for a beginer goalie?

Answer 1

I`m also a goalie and I haven`t sharpened my skates in a long time but its all in your prefrence if you like them sharp then get them sharpened more frequently. I only sharpen my skates when i can`t get an edge because with sharp skates I fall... a lot, so uh yeah i like mine dull but sharpen them when you feel like you need 2

good luck

Answer 2

im a wing but its pretty much ur choice..lets put it this way..when u start falling all over the place.. go get them sharpened

Answer 3

It all depends on how sharp you like them. I know its time to get mine sharpened when I can't stop myself when doing a slide or when I can feel my feet going out from under me when skating warm-up circles. 1/2" is ok, but most goalies prefer 3/4". Skate sharpening is something you will have to play around with until you find what works best for you. If you want a set answer, I would suggest sharpen at 3/4" and have it done whenever you begin to feel like Bambi on ice.

Answer 4

i play out in hockey, but i get mine sharpened like once every 2 or 3 months.

it depends mostly on how u feel when you are on your skates. if the skates feel dull, then have them sharpened. that means if you are falling down a lot, then the skates are really dull
