Here are answers to the most common questions about dropping off your skates, pricing, cuts, and pickup times near the Bridgeland Community Association.

How much does a skate sharpening cost?

A skate sharpening is just $5 per pair. Payment is cash only when you pick up or drop off your skates.

How do I drop off my skates?

Please text ahead before coming by! We are located right near the Bridgeland Community Association in Calgary, Alberta. Texting lets me know when to expect you.

Can I wait while my skates are sharpened?

No, customers come back later. It usually takes around 15 minutes to sharpen a pair, so you can drop them off and return shortly after or at an agreed time.

What kind of sharpener do you use?

I use a high-precision Sparx skate sharpener to ensure consistent, clean edges every single time. My dad helps me oversee things when needed.

What sharpening cuts or hollows do you offer?

I offer 1/2 regular, 1/2 Fire, and 5/8 regular cuts to match your preferred grip and glide on the ice.

How do I choose the right cut if I am unsure?

If you are not sure which hollow is best, I usually suggest whatever your hockey parent or coach recommends for your skating style and weight.

Where are you located in Calgary?

I am based in the neighbourhood of Bridgeland, close to the Bridgeland Community Association. Text ahead or email timotay1111@gmail.com for exact directions.

Why did you start this skate sharpening business?

I am 12 years old, love hockey, and have brothers and a dad who play. I am sharpening skates so I can work hard, help out the neighbourhood, and save up to buy my own car when I turn 16!
