The WOODWAY Blade Skating Treadmill is the ideal skate training platform, allowing coaches and trainers to develop their athletes technique and ...

I recently bought a new pair of ice hockey skates. I skated on them twice already. But a don't have much of a grip in my strides nor do I get that glide when stopping. My question is does it take time to break in the new blade?

When you purchase a new pair of hockey skates, come with a blade that is not yet sharpened. The reason for this is safety as they do not want people cutting themselves when handling skates to try on at the store.

No grip on your stride and lack of stopping power shows that the blade on your skate is not yet sharpened. Another way to test if your blade is sharp or not is to slide a piece of tissue paper over it. If it cuts the tissue easily, it is sharp, if not, your blade needs sharpening.

With regards to breaking in, that usually refers to the boot. Most new skates tend to conform to the shape of your foot much better then models from prior to 2000. With the higher end skates, some of the more professional hockey equipment stores will have a 'skate oven' where they heat mold the skate to the exact shape of your foot to minimize the time you need to break in the skate.

Cheers!

Can You Put an Ice Blade On to A Reebok 7k Inline skate?

Ice blades are usually riveted onto a skate. Now in theory you could wreck the skate and do this BUT the skate would not be legal at ANY level of play.

I just bought new skates and, as with every new pair, the blade is much taller then my old skates. For some reason I feel more comfortable with a shorter blade...explanation? Also, should I ask the pro shop to make them shorter (if that's even possible)? And would that be a bad idea? Thank you for your time.
It's not the boot either...

You can go to any local pro shop and have them profiled, that should at least help a little to make them feel a little more like your old pair. Typically most shops will run about $25 for the service and you will need to leave them there for a day or so.
