about

Three of us are hockey dads. We know another hockey day (named Steve Sitek) who has his own skate sharpener in his basement. We consider him a superhero or sorts, and from his story, have created the tale... of... the Skate Sharpener

lyrics

If you wanna stay / on top of your blades
There's a guy we know / and we, gave him a name
He's got a basement rig - he does it for the kids
And when things get dull / you have to go

To the Skate Sharpener

He wore #4 / just like Bobby Orr
Til he tore up his knee / back in '93
So when you're skating up and down the ice
Making parents proud
Put the puck in the back of the net
We'll be screaming loud -

For the Skate Sharpener

Once at his house / you'll wanna stay later
Cause he's also got a kegerator
Meet him at the bar / he's never too far
He'll sharpen your skate while you hydrate

He's got calipers to calibrate
Precise measurements for every skate
Cross grinds and hollow cuts
Hockey dad and a... hockey nut!

He's the Skate Sharpener
