The present invention relates to a skate with a cutting guard which protect people from the sharp lower part of the skate blade when the skate is in the air above the surface, but moves up so that the skate blade exposes when the skate makes contact with the surface. The invention is to reduce the risk of cutting yourself or others on the skate's sharp blade.

A system for quickly determining if a hockey skate blade is bent is disclosed. The system is a quick and effective way to determine if a Hockey Skate Blade is bent which will affect the ability for the blade to be sharpened and skating performance. The disclosed system is a simple way to quickly ensure skating performance and blade sharpness are optimized.

An improved skate blade guard having one or more improvements of a Y-shaped blade receiving channel, drains for conducting melted ice out of the blade receiving channel, voids or slots that perform as shock absorbers and cushions during walking in the skate guards, an improved pick guard, improved manufacturability using exterior shape sculpting to promote even and consistent flow of molten resin during injection molding, and a tread that conforms to the curved shape of some skate blades.
