Black Stone Sports Offers New Blade Sharpening System T hanks to Black Stone Sports, there's never been an easier way to dial up your performance. Put the Flat Bottom V on your blade, and put the advantages of improved endurance, enhanced con- trol and agility to work for you and your team. The FBV shape on the blade allows the skate to glide across the top of the ice rather than cut through it. This reduces drag and helps increase speed. At the same time, the precision edges are ready to dig in and provide precise con- trol on turns and stops. For more infor- mation, visit www.blackstonesport.com. R ink Systems, Inc. is pleased to introduce "The Guardian" net protector. The Guardian was designed to be a more attrac- tive alternative to the con- ventional net protector, to hide and protect the lacing twine from skate cuts as well as to protect the goal frame and skate blades. The Guardian's unique hidden lac- ing system allows rink operators to secure their net protectors with lacing twine to the netting and frame as they've done in the past, only now the lacing twine is protected from skate blades and cuts by an attractive 22-ounce heavy-duty vinyl shell. The Guardian's innovative design also allows for the vinyl to extend below the crinkle-rod and around the bottom of the frame, further protecting each frame.
