How much does it cost to get your skates sharpened?

Question

any good or cheap places to get it sharpen at in the nyc area?

Answer 1

I live in Hawaii and it costs $5.50. That probably means it will be cheaper for you because in Hawaii everything costs more!

Answer 2

The price varies. Know that the way you sharpen a hockey skate isn't the same as the way you sharpen a figure skate, so try to go to someone who actually knows how to sharpen figure skates. Do you have a coach? Are there any good skaters at your rink? You can ask them where they go.



For a regular, everyday, recreational figure skater-type sharpening in the NY area, it's about $8.50.



They sharpen skates at Wollman in Central Park, and at Chelsea Piers (Sky Rink).



But as you advance, you're going to need a more specialised sharpening, and to go to someone who REALLY knows what they are doing. Some skaters even send their skates by Fedex to a good sharpener. But we have a couple of really great ones in the NYC area. My favourite is the pro at the Ice House in Hackensack. Competitive sharpenings cost about $25-30.

Answer 3

It depends on how serious of a skater you are. If you are a figure skater and you want a good sharpening it could cost you between 10 and 15 dollars. At the rink that I skate at, it costs significantly less to sharpen hockey skates. It depends on the ice arena or pro shop that does it. I would go to your local ice arena if you want them sharpened correctly.

Answer 4

You should be able to get them sharpened at a sportsplex of some sort. Maybe a local indoor ice rink where local teams play. its cheap...like less than 10$

Answer 5

It will cost between 5 and 7 dollars. I travel around the country playing hockey and that seems to be about the going rate.

Answer 6

well it depends is it figure sk8ing cuz if so you want a good quality and i can bet that it also depends on the usage of the blades. if you use them alot then it will be duller so a lot will need to be sharpnd and that can cost around 5 to 10 bucks a blade!!

Answer 7

Probably "blades" is the best answer. A typical rate is $5, give or take. But you do get what you pay for.



Any hockey store, or ice rink, will have the service.

Answer 8

I wouldn't pay more than $5.00. Unless you are Mats Sundin. Then you get your skates sharpened for free!

Answer 9

i have never been to new york,but i am a skater and it should cost about $1.50 to $3.00
