Glad nationaldag, Sverige! 🇸🇪

We're proud to share this piece of hockey history today — a framed Mikael Tellqvist jersey from the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics, signed by legends of Swedish hockey, including Mats Sundin. And for us, the signature that means most is from Anders "Pudding" Weiderstål — one of the most respected equipment managers the game has ever seen, and a loyal Blackstone man for years.

Sweden has always held a special place in the hockey world, and in ours. To every customer, pro shop, and skate tech supporting Blackstone in Sweden: thank you. Your support genuinely means everything.

If you're in Sweden and looking for Blackstone equipment, our official partner is your home base.

Glad nationaldag. 🇸🇪

It really is easier ✅

Josh is putting the I-88 Fireball Automated Sharpener to work, showing how easy it is to dial in consistent, pro-level edges on hockey AND figure skates with just a few simple adaptations.

Proud to play a part in the sharpening at Rinks and Links 👏

Here's what Colin had to say about his experience with us. ⬇️

"Having been skate sharpening for over 25 years and now using Blackstone Sports machines for over 20 years the choice was clear when it came time to start my own business, choosing Blackstone was an easy decision. The quality of their machines is second to none, and their customer service has always been outstanding.

Josh and the entire team are amazing to work with. They are always available, extremely knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to helping their customers succeed. It’s truly rare to find a company that consistently delivers both top-tier products and top-tier support, but Blackstone does exactly that.

I really can’t ask for anything more. Highly recommend Blackstone Sports to anyone serious about skate sharpening and service." - Colin Newman, Rinks and Links

Inaugural season: Complete ✅

We’re proud to have supported the University of Delaware Blue Hens women's hockey team this year! Assistant Equipment Manager Jake Prettyman locked in their edges all season long with the Blackstone Fireball, keeping maintenance smooth and the players' skates flawless.

We love seeing our Blackstone family celebrated🏒

Huge congratulations to Jeff Price on his well-deserved retirement. For years, Jeff and the team at Coliseum Sports have been using Blackstone equipment to keep the Chelsea hockey community sharp.

Thank you, Jeff and Jean, for your incredible dedication to the sport, your community, and for being such a loyal part of the Blackstone family. Enjoy retirement!

On Wednesday May 20th, Chelsea hockey players and their families performed a Stick Tap, at Arctic Coliseum, in honor of Jeff Price & Coliseum Sports (Chelsea, MI) as an appreciation for their time, dedication, and support of the CHA and the Chelsea Hockey Community.

A big thank you to everyone who was able to make it out, and to the 2016 Chelsea Chiefs Travel Team for organizing this AWESOME event.

Thank you Jeff & Jean! We appreciate you & Coliseum Sports for the many years of support of the CHA and our players! Your contribution and commitment make our hockey community GREAT! Cheers to the most TRUSTED Source in Skate Sharpening.

On our way back from NARCE 2026, America's premier trade show for the ice rink industry, we made a stop in Rockford, Illinois to visit Tyler Carpenter, Equipment Manager for the Rockford IceHogs.

Tyler runs the I-88 Fireball Automated Skate Sharpener paired with the PH-01 Honing Machine: a repeatable, operator-proof workflow built for consistency and efficiency. Every skate, every time.

It's the same lineup trusted by Rockford's NHL affiliate, the Chicago Blackhawks, in their room, and the same setup we brought to NARCE 2026 as a standout option for rinks and shops looking to sharpen smarter without overspending.

Great skate care doesn't have to break the bank. This workflow proves it.

📩 DM us to learn how the I-88 + PH-01 lineup could work for your team, rink, or shop.
