Sharp Skates!

Lemay's is a great place to have your skates sharpened. It's like a museum and shrine to the history of skating in Woonsocket. It's almost more fun to go to Lemay's than to go skating! They have photos on the wall of all of the local players. They also have an amazing collection of antique skates. I was told that whenever ice hockey star Brian Boucher is home to see his parents he zips over for a Lemay's sharpening.

How Often Should Figure Skating Blades Be Sharpened?

In general, figure skates need sharpening after about forty hours of ice skating. Figure skaters can determine that their blades need sharpening when the blades start to slide sideways too easily.

Sadly all of the free skate loans are on dull skates. We need to find local businesses to sponsor the sharpening of the park skates so the kids can have a rewarding skating experience.
