Need to sharpen your skates? Bring them to The Bentway for convenient on-site skate sharpening throughout our winter season. A fresh sharpening can help improve your grip, control, and confidence on the ice. 

  • We offer skate sharpening for both hockey and figure skates. Please only hand over the skates needed for sharpening and make sure to remove the guards and take them out of any bags. 
  • Only those who are able to pre-book are guaranteed their time slot. Walk ups are still welcome but subject to availability. 
  • Skate Rentals are not available from Mondays to Wednesdays during this period.
