The QuikBlade Team
Former NHL and Team Canada World Cup player Rick Hampton is the original inspiration and driving force behind QuikBlade.
Rick is a native of the Toronto area, and now lives just north of Toronto in King City. Click here to get stats on Rick’s hockey career.
The Origin of the QuikBlade
Rick was playing hockey in Switzerland and couldn’t find anyone that could sharpen his skates to his liking. He came up with the idea of a replaceable runner, which would allow him to carry extras to every game. He built the original prototype in his garage.
Today, QuikBlade is engineered and manufactured by Multimatic, one of Canada’s leading innovation and technology companies.
