There is no piece of equipment more important to your on-ice performance than your blades. We believe there is a perfect blade shape for every player — a blade that best suits your playing style and gets the most out of your game.

That means finding your ideal profile and your optimal radius of hollow – that perfect combination that makes you feel great on the ice. ELITE’s blade performance system offers both performance profiling and performance sharpening to help you maximize and maintain your on-ice performance.

It’s as easy as 1-2-3.

Find THE RIGHT PROFILE

Find THE RIGHT PROFILE

  • Your profile is the curve of your blade from heel to toe.
  • Take the time to figure out which profile helps you skate your best. You’ll know it when you feel it.
  • Our experts can help you find the profile that gives you the attributes you need (speed, balance, agility) to up your game.
  • ELITE offers the widest range of profiles on the market.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT SHARPENING HOLLOW

  • Once you find your ideal blade profile, find the hollow that works best with it.
  • Our experts will help you find the right hollow for your profile and playing style.
  • We offer hollows from ¼” to 1¼”.
  • Our fully automated sharpener will give you perfect edges every time.

MAINTAIN YOUR BLADE CONSISTENCY

  • Once you’ve found your profile, don’t lose it with a poor sharpening.
  • Hand sharpening gradually changes the shape of your blade and undermines your performance. Automated systems without computer controls also distort your blade.
  • Preserve your blade shape and consistent edges for the life of your blade on the ELITE system -- the only system that won’t ever deform the shape of your blades.

Performance profiling

Your blade profile, also called the contour, is the curve of your blade from toe to heel.

It determines your balance point and how much of your blade will be in contact with the ice. Your profile has a dramatic effect on your skating performance. Even very tiny changes in blade shape make a huge difference to the way your blades feel on the ice.

Performance profiling is about combining multiple radius curves on one blade — to put more blade in contact with the ice (to gain speed and stability), while also keeping the agility and explosiveness essential to the game of hockey.

The goal of performance profiling is to find a combination of curves that fits your particular skating style so that you feel great on the ice. Finding the right profile will improve your speed and efficiency, your balance and stability, your power and acceleration, your agility and edge control and ultimately your confidence and performance.
