coated carbon. the edges will rust, so will the sides after they are stoned a few times

no way to say.  it could be ANY grade of carbon steel (A36, 1018, 1010, 1008, ETC.), and even then, all grades have a range of carbon.\n\nfor example, 1144 has a carbon range of .40 - .48, and 1018 has a carbon range of .15- .20.  the only way to know for sure on a physical piece is to have it tested by a lab, such as Stork, Durkee, or Bodycote.

No there is no difference in grinding machine, though the clamping system may be different as carbon steel is held commonly by magnetic chucks/clamps while for  some non magnetic grades of stainless steel( Austentitic stainless steels) mechanical/hydraulic/alternate clamping may be required.

I like both.....even though it has been about 3 years since I have put on either set of skates.  I would always take ice over concrete any day!!

It looks like they currently have figure skating available, but not much else. I imagine it won't be long before they have everything.

Ice hockey pucks used in regulation game play are made of vulcanized rubber.  One assumes they're made the way most rubber things are, which is by pouring rubber into a mold, or two molds and then joining the two pieces.  Then they'd probably get stamped with whatever league logo, and packaged.\n\nPucks are an inch thick by three inches across, and are frozen before games to make them easier to control.\n\nThere are different kinds of pucks... weighted practice pucks, junior pucks, and plastic pucks used in street hockey.\n\n\n***\n\n(After realizing I wasn't 100% sure about how even regulation pucks were made, I went and looked the process up and found a very informative site:  http://www.madehow.com/Volume-6/Hockey-Puck.html  Hope that helps!)

History\n\nThe earliest skates (c.9th cent.), made of bone, were found in Sweden. Wooden skates with iron facings appeared in the 14th cent. Skates made entirely of iron were introduced in the 17th cent. Steel skates, with straps and clamps to fasten them to the shoes, were sold in the 1850s, and later came the skate permanently attached to the shoe. Skating has long been a means of travel in countries with long, cold winters, such as Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia, and especially Holland. There are references to skating in English books as early as the 12th cent. By the 18th cent. skating was not only a means of travel but also a well-established sport. European colonists introduced it early into America and Canada.

i have been playing roller hockey since 4th grade and i am a senior in high school and i have used missions 90% of the time, they are also what is most common on my area. mission has the biggest assortment and i find that they fit good. if you do get missions get an expensive model because the cheaper models arent up for the job for anyone over 12 years old. i have the helium 550's the olny problem with these skates is that the wheels aren't good. but its not a big deal to replace them after they go bad.

There are several techiques to break in a pair of skates. You can try soaking them in water then wearing them around the house for a few hours before wearing them at the rink.  Also what you wear under them can help with the comfort level. Some players feel that a lighter weight sock(such as nylon) or even no sock at all is best.  I find the heavier sock no only is uncomfortalbe but also keeps in sweat and the foot actually gets colder. Also the skate should be sized by a good pro shop for best fit.

The first thing you will need to do is take them to a skate sharpener to have them sharpened. These can be found at ice rinks, skating supply stores and some general sports wear stores. You should also buy a polish to keep the leather supple (if they are leather). Keep them packed with guards on the blades in a closet where no little hands or curious animal noses can get to them, they are really sharp when properly maintained.

Lid, mouth guard, shoulder pads, leggings/pants, hip pads, breezers, elbow pads, knee pads, cup, socks, shin pads, skates, gloves, stick, sweater/jersey, lots of tape, and a 12-pack.\n\nI would consider all of those to be major, however, all that is required is a stick, puck, ice, and 4 extra boots to make 2 goals.

Use a sharpening stone to get the initial rust off.  Be sure to dry your skates after each use.  \n\nI also use a blade sock, which is piece of towel like material that has an elastic band sown into it.  I wrap the blade with that after wiping it down.\n\nIf you're going to store your skates for an extended period of time, you can hit the blades with a coat of WD-40 as well.  That will keep them from rusting.
