A good profile and proper depth of hollow radius allows skates to work with the skater not against them.  Maximum Edge recommends that all hockey skate blades should be profiled once a year.  The skater will feel more control, better balance and improved speed.  Skate sharpening is included in the process.

Profiling has three main benefits.

	The skater's center       of gravity is aligned   with the boot.
	Blade heights        are balanced.
	An appropriate radius   is placed on the blade   so as to maximize speed,   agility and control.
