A heated skate blade system is disclosed for optimizing ice skating performance through app-controlled temperature adjustment. The system includes a nichrome heating coil embedded in or adjacent to the blade, powered by a thin-film lithium-ion battery integrated into the blade holder. A microcontroller governs power delivery to the coil and wirelessly communicates with a mobile application via Bluetooth. The application enables users to input variables such as ice temperature, skater weight, skate size, blade hollow (ROH), and desired blade temperature.
