Cyclone Taylor Skate Sharpening Review and Skater's Edge Review

These reviews are a great examples to discuss the importance of level or even edges when getting your skates sharpened.

Fred Cyclone Taylor Sporting Goods Skate Sharpening Review:
Located in Coquitlam, BC is the example of a bad skate sharpening.
They did a horrible job even after I asked for them to make sure that the edges were level. Plus, their attitude was terrible as well.

Skater's Edge Review:
Located in Coquitlam, BC is an example of a good skate sharpening.
They listened, they cared and they even altered their skate sharpening holder to accomodate my son's size 7 skates. Plus, the edges were level.

In short: When getting your skates sharpened make sure the place checks for level edges. If you don't have level edges, your next skating session will not be enjoyable and will be a waste of time.

Here are a couple of informative websites explaining level edges as well as more important information when getting skates sharpened.

If you're viewing this video or these comments I'm not saying not to go to Cyclone Taylor. Many of my friends go there and I don't tell them otherwise. I'm sure many important hockey people have visited the store and were probably happy. As mentioned in the video, due to the size of the skates many places had difficulty sharpening them, and they told me so. Thanks to those difficulties, I learned a lot about skates, sharpening etc. and I saw the skating frustration that uneven edges can cause.

Your an idiot. I have been sharpening at that store for over 10 years. Nothing but the best. I have even seen Jeff Tambellini and Milan Lucic sharpening at that store as well. Im sure if they go there, your 4 year old kid should be fine. Also your hand are extremely crooked and wobbly like a 90 year old woman, Get a life, you have way too much time on your hands! shaky hands that is...

@COQUITLAMSTUD I appreciate your feedback or comment. If you work at the store and you're confident in your sharpening abilities, then maybe people should ask for you. However, this is just my experience I had at the store you work at. Shaky hands or not, it is very clear that the edges weren't level. I have no affiliation to either store I reviewed in this video. I'm just trying to share my experiences so people can hopefully learn something without having to go through what we did.

Rick: I saw Lucic there last August. I am a huge Boston Bruins fan and he was there signing autographs for kids, and talking to The older guy who works there apparently he used to be Lucic's eqt guy or sharpener when Lucic was with the Coquitam Express of the BCHL. Just awesome seeing pro NHL guys talking to regular peope liek me, and Lucic is a verry humble guy.

Hockey Skating: No I dont work at Taylors. However I am in the golf industry and I deal with Crazies like you all the time.

I am going to have to agree with STUD although hes verry rude. everyone has bad days. sometimes you might get a bad sharpen somewhere, some times you get bad pack of grapes when you buy produce from the market. things happen. I shop at both coquitlam and vancouver cyclone taylors. I have also had gret service from both.. no complaints. Stud when did you see Lucic in their? i have also seen tambelleni their as well as Cliff ronning, Don taylor, and Sami Salo on more than one occasion. all pros.
