1/2". It's a pain in the ass sometimes around here because the sharpener will usually say, "Are you sure? That's real sharp, like for a player."
Durr hurr hurr. Pisses me off.

I have a suggestion. If you haven't already posted your weight, please go back and edit your post so that you list your weight as well as your hollow.
BTW, I weigh 135# and 3/4" hollow is good for me.

1/2" on Goalie, 3/8" on Player
195 lbs
I'm working my way up on Goalie, but I need to get my blades profiles first. Then I will see if I'm ready for 3/8" on my goalie skates.

The other day I dropped off my skates at Duke's in Toronto for a Body Profile sharpening. After talking it over with the guy, I got a 28' radius and 2mm higher in the back. Today I picked them up and went to Canlan for pickup hockey. Oh, these skates are nice now.  So nice that while playing, I didn't even notice them. I just moved and skated and did what I wanted, and the skates never got in the way. |
That's how it's supposed to be Timbey, shouldn't even have to think about skates or being on ice. |

Just changed to...
The guy I bring all my skates to (girlfriend's skater skates, my skater skates and my goalie skates) does a good job. Unfortunately he "Only does goalie skates one way." I was having problems on harder ice surfaces and I found another guy to do the goalie skates and to try them sharper. The new guy said it looked like they were 5/8". We decided to go to 1/2" I tried it last night and it worked well. It helps for recoveries and allows for a wider stance. Of course, today I skated while it was 89 F out, humid and at a poorly insulated rink on soft ice and it was a little hard to move.
