What is radius?
Radius is the center of the skate blade, which is the part that is sharpened.  Depending on your preference, weight and skating style the depth of hollow ground into the blade varies from skater to skater.

We recommend you sharpen your skates every 5 to 6 ice times.   

What is the difference between D, C & EE in skate sizing?    
"D" is the standard width, "C" is a quarter of an inch narrower than "D", while "EE" (or "E" depending on the manufacturer) is a quarter of an inch wider than "D".  Some skates may indicate "N" for Narrow/C width, "R" for Regular/D width and "W" for Wide/EE width.   

Will cleaning my equipment take the nasty smell out of my gear?
If your equipment has never been cleaned before it will take a couple of treatments to totally eliminate the odour.  The important thing is that 99.9% of the bacteria is killed.  Depending on your body makeup and how often you play your gear will start to smell in 10 to 14 days after treatment.  Your hockey gear is no different then your work out shirt and shorts.  Imagine how they would smell if you only cleaned them every couple months! YUCK!

How often should I get my gear cleaned?
We recommend you clean your gear at least twice a season, once part way through the year and again at the end of the season.  If you are playing hockey 3 to 4 times per week we recommend you clean your gear monthly.
