Equipment Fitting - Skates
Feb 10, 2026
Using Skate Fitting Tools: • Start with a Brannock foot measurement. • Skates are usually 1–2 sizes smaller than street shoes. Parent tips: • A little growth room is okay — too big is not. • Your child’s heel should stay comfortably in place without sliding. • When trying on skates, a snug fit provides better balance and control — so it’s best to avoid the “room to grow” myth. • When lacing skates, the heel may lift slightly as the player settles — this is normal. • Tie skates firmly through the middle of the boot, but not painfully tight at the top. • Make sure you do not tie skate laces around the ankles. • Sharp skates are safe skates — regular sharpening helps your player get the best grip and glide. • And finally, keep blades clean and dry after each ice session by wiping them with a cloth.
