Best Hockey Skates of 2024

Our hockey skate reviews are designed to help you weigh tradeoffs to find the best fit. We collaborate with players and gear experts to review each skate based on durability (ability to withstand wear and tear), power (the transfer of energy from the skater's legs to the ice), and speed (capacity to propel a player to maximum speed). Rankings are updated weekly based on SidelineSwap sales data.
