Skates are the piece of equipment that transfers the energy from your body to the ice. A properly fit skate will make a good player better. At United Cycle, we have a wide variety of skates to choose from and a talented staff that will make sure you are getting the right skate for your feet and your level of ability.

The first thing a United Cycle expert is going to do when you come in looking for skates, is ask a lot of questions. Be prepared for questions like:

  • What kind of skating do you do?
  • What position do you play?
  • What level are you at?
  • How often do you skate?
  • Questions like these help us determine what product best suits your individual needs. If you are a hockey player that prefers speed to quick turns, we can suggest a certain model that will provide that benefit.

    There are 3 types of skates:

  • Regular skates are used by players and officials and are designed for performance.
  • Goalie skates are designed like a shoe, fit bigger, and have a protective outer boot that helps withstand impact from a puck.
  • Recreational skates are designed for comfort.
