A floor brace for tying children's ice skates that threads between the boot and blade of a child's ice skate and allows an adult to stand on either side of the brace holding the skate down while they pull the laces forcefully upward. The brace has an ice skate receiver sized to fit the most common skate blade sizes; alternate embodiments have multiple receivers sized to fit multiple sized skate blade sizes. The brace may also have a skate sharpener and honing stone.
