Abstract: An ice skate blade maintenance device is provided for removing built-up ice from the surfaces of a skate blade without requiring a skater's hands. The device comprises a backing member, a blade-receiving block having one or a plurality of blade grooves, and a plurality of mounting holes. The backing member may be a surface, block or wedge shape that may be removably secured to a backing structure via fasteners inserted through member mounting holes. The blade-receiving block is secured to the upper surface of the backing member. The blade grooves comprise “Y” shaped channels disposed in parallel alignment along the block for a user to remove ice from a skate blade by sliding the blade therethrough, whereby the walls of the groove contact the blade and remove ice therefrom. The device is preferably comprised of a soft, durable material to prevent damage or dulling of a blade during its use.
