Been playing hockey in Germany for 5 years, where even asking for a specific hollow is unusual. Came back to the States to buy skates, and the shop asked about both desired hollow and profile before the first sharpening. I almost cried.

Man I wish I had this guy at my local shop!

I hear ya, Only one guy here that ever got my profile right, that was the best two years I ever skated. Had to replace the skates recently and the local shop not only can't get my profile right anymore, but they left a corner on them, I had to get a regrind. They ground one with a different angle than the other, another regrind, then they got one crooked, regrind number 3. Since then, I can now skate without taking myself out, but I'm just not comfortable on them, I try to tell them I want to lean forward more, they look at me like I'm from outer space. I have had it with my local shop, ready to airmail my skates to someone that knows what they are doing.

I would make a special trip for it, seriously. Especially since I do have something "anatomically wrong" with me and damn, I bet he knows exactly how to compensate.

He did an amazing job of explaining all of this.

Jeremy, we love your videos! My son started playing hockey this year in Rapid City, SD. He loves the sport, and has utilized your videos to help him progress in the sport. I have used them to educate myself on the details of the sport like this video! THANKS!! Keep up the great WORK!!

This guy is so awesome. What a knowledgable and personable guy. What a master of his craft! Man I'd love to help me pick new skates and a rounder profiler on the far ends of my blades.

I would be in this shop all the time lol

Really looking forward to your side-by-side PROFILE COMPARISON ! I have not seen any of the 'hockey' channels explain this important performance factor like you are doing. Bravo!

Thank you for posting these kind of videos. its really fun to watch these and learn new tips and tricks everyday. before this video i did not even know about heat molding or profiling. Ive always just picked the cheap ones that feels good on the leg and get just regular sharpening on them. You deserve more followers for sure best hockey channel for sure. Love your Vids. keep them coming dude!

Can't wait to see the next vid. I've ALWAYS been curious about profiling, but have never had the balls to do it, cause I don't want to mess up my stride, or turn, etc. Anyways, still stoked to see what you think with the 4 different profiles.

This guy is amazing!! He is so thorough and explains all this info so well! Awesome video

Whenever I buy new skates they feel sooo long, like skis, hard to turn, but very fast and front back stability is great. Then I sharpen three or four times in the month and the rocker is back to my usual profile. Interesting to see how with cross cut profiling, the plane of the skate is at right angles compared to the plane of the grinder.

Yo your vids are easily the best hockey vids ive ever seen they are great and they dont get boring keep it up 😀😀😀

I love your videos and they help me a lot. Just a few weeks ago I had old horrible skates. Now i got new skates and did everything you went over. I do better in my house league games now.

Nice to have someone who knows how to properly profile and sharpen hockey skates.

Love these types of conversations benefiting from wisdom from an older generation passing on knowledge/skills etc.

Played soccer my whole life, only experience playing hockey is some pond hockey growing up but this is absolutely amazing

Amazing stuff! thanks for explaning the details

i've sharpened thousands of skates at a 'big box' store and we never did any profiling since we didn't have a jig for it. what we learned we learned at the store. I could do some really nice sharpens at whatever hollow depth you wanted.. but if you go in and ask the guy about profile and he doesn't answer as fast as Glenn here, go somewhere else for your profiling.

Thanks for the helpful video, Jeremy

Ah, some hockey ASMR! Love the skate sharpening sound!

I'm about to purchase new skates for the first time ever. Always had used gear as a youth and my first and only pair as an adult. Learning a lot from these vids

When I first learned about profiling years ago my son (who wore Bauer Supremes at the time) always complained about his back hurting and when he would lose balance he’d often fall backwards. I’m lucky enough to have a guru shop like this nearby and went and discussed if there was anything they could do for him. The guy I dealt with was great. I don’t know if it still applies to Bauer’s current products but 5 years ago the skate guru told me they found Bauer to be the worst brand for blade consistency out of the box. He said they generally all had 9’ radius and they tended to be balanced towards the heel rather than neutral as they’re supposed to be out of the box and that’s what caused the back pain and balance issues my son was experiencing. Long story short they changed the radius to 10’, moved the balance point just past neutral to get him more on his toes. My son loved the change after his first skate, he skated noticeably better and he never had any issues ever again.

Never knew how this was done. What an excellent vid.

This is awesome info. Thanks for sharing. Cheers

This was great video. I think I will be doing this to my skates.

Love your channel man!!

I've learned a lot about skate sharpening over the years. It's really a science. My daughter knows right away if I don't go to her regular guy with her profile (and it's goalie skstes). Great video.

this was incredibly helpful.

You are lucky to have a shop like this. Most shops I go I am actually surprised the guy doesn’t hurt himself pressing the power button on the machine or doesn’t cut himself just handling the skates.

Thank you Jeremy! Played college and in the minors and never really understood any of this!

Hey Coach Jeremy, did you ever do the video where you tested these different profiles? I can't find it but would be interested to know what difference they made

Have you posted a video for when you tested out different blades with different profiles? Thanks for your videos!

I never had brand new skates I got new one yesterday love theses videos

Never would’ve imagined a cross grind. Nice video.

Glen Sharpley! Great player for the Minnesota North Stars. Had the best flow in 70s hockey.

Maybe you have a more recent vid on profiling but if not, you should do one on combination profiling... quad or triple... those are really relevant to 2018 and are game changers.

Great video! Listen and learn

Anyone got a link to the next video? Can't find it myself... TIA

thanks for the great info ,its hard to find a good skate sharpener where I live. cheers got the radius so will make my own pattern and do them myself

Awesome video Jeremy!

This really explained what profiling is thanks

Thanks for all the work you do... was wondering if a 10U player would benefit from profiling or do you think he would be too young to realize the difference. He does know when his skates needs sharpening and he feels the difference between 1/2" and 3/8" edge. He also chatters a little on some of his hockey stops. For now he is playing defense and was thinking of bringing him back to 1/2" from 3/8" to see if that helps him out. We have no idea what is profile is, but going to check on his next sharpening.

Cool content for a series!

That's really cool! You got a new subscriber.

Those Cooper gloves on the wall (1:17) are glorious.

we don't have anyone in Oklahoma to profile a skate. looks like I will have to take a trip up north. thanks for the videos

Coming back to this video several years after checking it the first time; we could really use somebody like Glenn in a couple of shops here in Denmark.

This is great, I've been using a dual lie profile 10/13 which makes a huge difference, only thing is now I need to drive the 5hours to get my skates sharpened by this legend :P good info bro

I can't find the next video where you try the different profiles. It it up yet? I have been reading about combo and quad profiling. I am trying an 8/13, medium forward pitch. Love the 8' and medium forward. The 13', not so much. Next up, 8/11. I also tried 100/50 FBV. Yuck! Back to the old standard, 1/2 ROH. I'm going to try the Sparx 1/2 Fire next. Do you have a video on the different kinds of sharpenings?

i remember getting my skates profiled for a forward lean when i was younger and fell immediately over from the lean hahaha miss playing competitively

Great video

Oh This cool info. Now I know why why skate backwards with standard hockey skate profile is a little bit hard.

Excellent video. You owe Glenn a few beers. Although you probably send a few customers his way methinks! Shame his shop is up there in Huntsville, wish I had a shop like that in Mississauga.

Hey jermey keep up the great videos and at what age should u start profiling your skates

@CoachJeremy

7 жыл бұрын

You can start on the first pair of skates but it's not a necessity. For newer players a big radius like the 13 will keep more steel on the ice and help a little with balance.

You would you go about finding a better profile to hopefully improve comfort/ agility? On a low budget that is, i snap blades and bend them quite alot so i spend enough on blades already, is it something worth messing with if ive just been skating on whatever its like from factory, and the most recent bent blade hasnt really made that much difference, id be happy to have some advice. Thanks for the quality content

this is an incredible vid

Have you posted any sessions on profiled blades and have you used quad radius blades ?

Did you ever do a follow up video with the different profiles?

Could you please do something like this on goal skates and equipment. Please.

Hey what would u recommend for someone who grewup playing roller hockey and has played a little bit of ice? would u say a forward lean? or should I just go with whatever and adjust from there?

I remember Glenn and his Langes; had a pair of Lange Goalers myself and they were Tanks. Miss the N*Stars (@1:18) ...Dumbest name in the NHL is the "Wild"

What would be the steps for goalie skates?

my skate sharpener doesn't even ask me what radius i want when getting my sharpen. kind of frustrating after learning about profile/radius for skates lol.

Hold on champ. 38 year veteran of playing hockey here; Highest level played was juniors. Hailing from Minnesota. Profiling isn't for sharpening. Profiling is a one-time thing that is done typically when you first buy your skates. Profiling is the act of giving a radius to the steel. Imagine a circle that is 9 feet round. Now imagine that 9 foot circle is made of steel. Now take that very outer edge of the circle and cut it up into little pieces of steel that make up the hockey steel in your skate. To imagine how this goes together with the hockey skate boot: Imagine your boot is laying flat in the middle of that circle. Now push the skate to the edge of that 9 foot circle. there you go. that's how the boot and the steel fit together. Now imagine that 9 foot circle...was drawn by a 5 year old. Probably not gonna be very round, is it? Well that's the kind of steel everyone today is now skating on. Profiling, as shown in this video, turns that shitty 9 foot radius into a precision-shaped blade. Your skate steel is now going to be an awesome shape...and sharpening won't change the radius. To put it another way....spin a coin on a table. The edge of the coin touching the tabletop is like the radius of your blade touching the ice. Now about sharpening: look at the skate straight at the toe, like the skate is coming at you. The steel is pretty thin. However, the grind wheel that's sharpening your blade is thinner than that. And a sharpening is cutting into the blade to create an edge on the left and right side of the blade. Those are your inside and outside edges. If you noticed in the video, the profiling grind wheel cut perpendicular to the skate. A sharpening grind wheel cuts in-line with the skate.

Oh man, I wish we had a shop that could profile. Sending out your steel is the only option for us right now.

This is cool ! did you ever make the video where you test the 4 different profiles on ice ?

Renegade Cz As soon as you don't feel comfortabe on your edges, or start falling more than usual it's time for a sharpen!

Hey, i have been using a pair of ice blades on my inline skate for a couple of months now. And today i just tried my friend's bauer hockey skates and the blades feel really great. It was easy to turn, sprint, stop and so on. My question is would my inline skate ice blades feel just as good as my friend's hockey skates if i got them profiled? I actually like my inline skate boots better because of the super comfortable liner even though they are really on the heavier side.

Wish we had such a qualified hockey craftsmanship in germany.

please do a review of after market steel like step steel and others

I don't even have that option where I live lmao and never even knew about this.

So, the continuation of that scene never got published? I'd like to see the sharpening process too.

This guy is great

Isn't the forward and backward lean also called rocking if I'm not mistaken? I always was more partial towards the forward rocking, pretty sure was the only one on the team to have it growing up. Started 1999 didn't get the skate rocking till u10s I think? Changed my whole defensive game for sure and for the better

LS4 Steel that comes with the 1S is stock 10’ radius but like the guy said in the video, they make these in factories and they have no consistency at all so that’s why you should always have them profiled. I have 1S though and Bauer’s Steel is horrible, I broke it in half within a month so I switched to Black Stepsteel and won’t look back. There’s a profile you can get using Prosharp called Quad Zero where basically they can cut 4 separate radius points on your blade. (Back to front 14-12-9-6) it’s hard to find anyone that knows this style though :/

Hey Jeremy, I had a question from a hockey parent and passed her this link concerning profiling, etc and in this video you say that Bauer sent you 4 sets of blades and you were going to test the different radius against each other and report back but I cannot seem to find the follow up video? Did u ever post it?
