SKATES

Figure skates should hold YOU up. Not the other way around. Skates need to be properly sharpened to help you hold your edge as well. Here is an easy way to have quality beginning skates delivered to your door. Check out these Amazon links for good beginner skates. Higher level skaters who are jumping and spinning will have to go to our local shop, Dream Skates, to have skates fit in person. Dream Skates will heat mold your skates to your foot's unique shape and hand sharpen your blades.Â
What you wear on the ice can help to keep you safe. From leggings to gloves, pads and a helmet. Here are a few things you can consider buying to keep you or your child safe on the ice.Â
