I'm going to give it a shot on my goalie skates to start, and if it works well I'll have my player skates done too.
Keep posted, I'll have my skates done this week, and put up a review next week after playing a couple of games.

I respectfully disagree.
As a goalie, I need to be one of the best skaters on the ice. There are no second chances for a goalie, as we're the last line of defense. I spend so much time at open skates, and free skates just working on basics like x-overs, pivots, c-cuts, stops, backwards skating, etc because I use all of those skills numerous times during a game. The goalie needs to be a great skater, or a good shooter will skate around him.

Nope.
From what I was told, you can get sharpening anywhere once the balance is done. Personally, I love the guys at Blatzy's in Langley, as they really seem to care about my skates. Plus they can talk different sized cuts (goalie stuff) for a different feel.
