"I felt more balanced and comfortable on my edges."

Tyler Motte

"I trusted the blades after my first skate. I felt more balanced and confident on my edges. I also noticed more glide throughout my stride."

Tyler Motte | NHL Forward - Vancouver Canucks

"I changed to Flare and really notice my glide"

Andrew Cogliano | Dallas Stars

"I have a new steel that’s called Flare Skate Blade, it’s a thicker steel. It gives me an option to glide more, but be sharper when I turn. I get it [sharpened] at an inch and a half, it’s a big difference. I’ve noticed you need a glide; I used to play with no glide and my legs would kill me. I changed [to Flare Skate Blade] and really notice it."
