The most important part of a hockey player’s gear is their skates. To be more precise the blades on the skates are the most important, because that is what is in contact with the ice to allow the player to generate traction to move around the ice with ease. So the equipment manager or anyone else who has the job of sharpens someone’s hockey skates need to have the knowledge to be able to sharpen someone skates perfectly. They have to know the correct process to sharpen skates to perfection every time. The process is very simple as long as you can follow this procedure to ensure perfection in the skate sharpening.

Dressing the finish wheel is of utmost importance to ensure that the skates have parallel edges and a good hollow. The next step of the process is to start sharpening the skate blades. First you clamp the skate in the clamp with the toe to the front of the clamp, and then lock the blade in tightly. Next slowly slide the skate across the wheel being sure not to over rounding the toe and heel of blade too much. Complete this step about 10 times for a blade that has not first gone over the cross grinding wheel. For a blade that has gone across the cross grinding wheel do this step until the cross grinding marks are gone. Then unclamp and do the same to the second skate blade. As soon as you finish the number of passes on the skates you check the blade of levelness or parallel edges on both sides of the blade. You do this step by setting the gauge in the front, middle, and back of the skate if the gray line on the level, is level all the way across go on to the final step. If the edges are unlevel when you put the gauge, on you must figure out if the knobs on the clamp have to be turned up or down in the front or the back or both. To do this you look at which side the gray line is showing more of if it shows more on the left side when the gauge is on the front you turn the knob down in the front of the clamp and vice versa for the back. When gauge is placed in the middle of the blade, it should
Somehow skating has managed to always be in my life. My earliest memories are times on my dad’s hawaiian longboard with him, riding me home from my old school. There would be time’s I’d be brought to someone's house and notice skateboarding on the tv. I didn’t really understand the videos or what a “part” was but I still had recognition for it. Without knowing a single person in the video or any of the tricks, I still somehow felt motivated to go ride. I saw the world through the eyes of a skateboarder, taking notice of all the culture. Eventually I was gifted a used board that was covered in stickers. Nowadays I put very few stickers on a board, but back then I’d be adding more constantly. It wasn’t long before skating became a lifetime friend that I’d wind up relying on throughout my ups and downs.
Skating is the most important hockey skill. Players must be able to turn sharply, skate backwards and perform many other maneuvers while skating at top speed. They must be able to do this with their head up and while stick handling the puck.

An ice hockey game consists of five players and a goalie per team on the ice. Roller hockey however, only has four players and a goalie. In ice hockey there are blue lines, which are approximately one-third of the way up the rink from each end. The blue lines are used to create zones on the ice surface. If an offensive player enters the other team's defensive zone before the puck, the play is whistled dead and it is called off sides. On the other hand in roller hockey, there are no such blue lines. Not having blue lines makes the game much more wide-open, which allows players to hang at the other team's net, unlike ice hockey.

After a competitive skater gets off the ice her or his skates are almost filled with snow from jumping and spinning. The skater usually skates as long as possible so after they get off, they don’t have much time to dry off their skates and when she or he doesn't dry his or her skates, the skates will rust. When skates rust they will breakdown faster and will overtime be unsafe to skate on. Therefore parents will have to buy more skates which range between six hundred dollars for the boot and five hundred dollars for the blade. However, now there is a product called Stick, Soak, Stay.
