I have no idea what Max edge is. If you are referring to the liquid that is put onto the blade before the final pass while sharpening then all that really does is ensure a smooth finish. It doesn't enhance glide directly, a smoother finish means less friction which would lead to more glide. It isn't a direct effect. In the end all of these differences are so small that most people won't be able to tell the difference anyway. If SK8T actually does what it claims,which it probably doesn't, then it wouldn't be allowed. This is like arguing that you're going to notice the difference between 32/64" and 33/64" hollow on a sharpening.

Well let me point out that the NHL made overdrive blades on goalie skates illegal. They provided a mild advantage but they mostly helped prevent injury, not approved for game use. Tall step steel on goalie skates, also illegal in the NHL, can't say it provides a competitive advantage but it is illegal. Thigh boards, illegal because they cover some of the five-hole. These aren't pieces of equipment in and of them selves that are made illegal but they are add ons to equipment, such as the SK8T blade coating. That is why composite sticks are perfectly ok.

Let me start off by saying that I've never actually used this product. Here is my problem with it...if a product like this actually worked then there is no way the NHL would approve it for game use. It isn't giving anybody a competitive advantage. When skates are sharpened there is a coating applied to the blade on the last pass that more or less ensures a super smooth finish on the blade...I don't see how a liquid coating is going to save your edges. Besides the fact that they will wear down no matter what, you will always get nicks and burs from other skates, sticks, goal posts, benches, boards etc. On increased glide, I'm sure it has some affect, probably so minimal though that it will be impossible to notice. Just my opinion.

Has anybody on here every put ice boots onto a quad roller hockey chassis. I have a friend who tried but ran into trouble with the newer style ice boots and it wouldn't work.
