Skate sharpening

Trusted Edge is a Brecksville sharpening shop run by Matt Zamecnik, who is on the ice several days a week as a skater and as an instructor. It works by appointment, so a visit is planned rather than a drop-in.

The shop leans toward figure skaters. Its own guide explains how skating style, level, weight and ice temperature should shape the hollow, and it suggests moving a step shallower or deeper between summer and winter ice, which is useful reading before a first visit.

Hockey players are welcome too, with a choice between a traditional radius of hollow and Blackstone’s flat-bottom V.

Beyond the grind, the counter handles boot shaping and blade alignment, so a figure skater breaking in new boots can sort out pressure points and blade placement in one trip.

Dan Kostel Recreation Center in Garfield Heights is the nearest indoor rink, about 11 km north, and Brunswick Auto Mart Arena in Strongsville is about 15 km west.

Sharpens: hockey, figure, profiling / contouring. Not stated: goalie, speed / long-track, recreational & rental.
