Are speed skates hockey skates or figure skates the longest?
Speed Skates have the longest blade.
What is the difference between hockey skates and figure skates?
Figure skate blades are thicker, and the balance point is at the back, with more blade extending past the heel compared to hockey skates. They also have toe picks, to help with jumps and other maneuvers for figure skating. Figure skates are also "rockered" differently, meaning the blade curves differently, so turning is different in figure skates compared to hockey skates, as the balance is different. Figure skate blades are thicker, too, so they can be faster, as you have more blade contact to push off of. Hockey skates have no toe picks, as with toe picks, if you accidentally drag your foot or put it too far forward on the ice, you can fall. Also, hockey skates are balanced more neutrally, in the middle of the skate, which helps with recovering balance during the fast maneuvering and contact in the game. Hockey skates have thinner blades, so compared to figure skates, you're going to apply less power to the ice, but they glide a little bit easier than figure skates. Also, compared to figure skates, hockey skates have much tougher construction, as they have to be able to take pucks/sticks, etc.
What is the difference using speed skates versus hockey skates?
the difference is the amount of blade that is touching the ice surface and the lbs per inch so with a longer blade it spreads the weight out more and you have less weight on your blades
Are there any safe hockey skates that cant cut people?
The blades on hockey skates are only as sharp as the wearer has honed them. Professional ice skates (hockey skates included) are very sharp and are honed after every session. If there is contact, the blades can cut flesh. Guards are put on the blades immediately after coming off the ice. Blades that are dull are not as fast on the ice. Being cut with the blade of a hockey skate is not a primary concern of athletes.
