Ice Hockey Goalie Skates

What’s the difference between Goalie Skates and Player Skates?

If you’re going to become a regular between the pipes, you’ll want to invest in specialised goalie skates. These feature a longer, flatter skate blade when compared to regular hockey skates, providing you with greater stability in net and a better surface area for punching off and gliding across the crease.

Do you need to sharpen goalie skates?

Keeping your steel runners sharp gives you better grip and control on the ice, which is especially important for goalies when you need to make that save. We’re able to offer goalie skate sharpening at our hockey store.

Can you profile goalie skates?

Skate profiling customises the blade shape to each player’s body position, skating ability, and stride, helping to maximise your acceleration, transition, speed, and stability. This is equally important for goalies as it is for players to gain an edge on your opponents.

We offer in-store hockey skate profiling to help you get the most out of your goalie skates.

How should goalie skates fit?

The ideal fit for goalie skates is snug with the least amount of negative space. You want to avoid any heel movement within the boot for maximum stability on the ice.
