- I don't think this is likely - I don't think this kind of contact between
- the shaft of the stick and the blade is common. And the player holding the
- stick would be a lot more likely to drop the stick before the blade was
- damaged. But, I could be wrong.

- I lose more edges by having my skates coming in contact with 1) the boards;
- 2) other players skates (almost every time I head into the boards I can
- plan to get them sharpened); and 3) the concrete underneath those worn, flimsy
- rubber mats.
