Custom Skate Contouring

 

 

WHAT IS CONTOURING?
In a nutshell, contouring is a process of the changing the skate blade that applies more blade to the ice while at the same time creating proper forward knee bend in your skating.

Properly contoured skates are based on a few simple factors.

bullet Skate Design & Characteristics
bullet Age
bullet Height
bullet Body Type
bullet Position Played

Our process and technology used is unique and unbelievably accurate, insuring your skates are consistent and correct. Based on our research we believe no other company uses the same, technology, process and equipment in the industry! And unlike other so called "profiling systems" no free hand grinding of the profile or contour is performed on your skates!

WHO SHOULD HAVE CONTOURED SKATES?
Although players at all level will benefit from contouring (including goalies), players in age from 5-12 will experience the most dramatic results! Their bodies adjust quickly and will benefit in the long term since they are using the proper body position early in their development.


WHY CONSIDER CONTOURING SKATES AT ALL?
Although skates are very generic in design, they have many inherent variables which will affect the efficiency and performance of your play. It is not feasible to expect a manufacturer to build a skate that is exactly right for every individual.

The Contouring system of transferring the mechanical points of the foot directly to the skate blade eliminates the most common variables present on skates today. These are:

bullet Inconsistent location of the blade holder
on the skate
bullet Incorrect radius & lie on the blade based
on the players profile
bullet Inconsistency of the toe & heel shape

WHY US?
The technology we use is patented based on over 20 years of research and experience by Glenn Sakcriska. We understand how the body is designed to work and know the differences in various skate boots & blades. This insures the contouring we provide is correct for your player. Our method & process insures that each skate is consistent. This is accomplished by using a specially designed boot gage to determine the correct measuring points based off the sole plate, not the steel.
