Even when accelerating, it doesn't get any grip on it. I guess the sharpening is fine if you only skate for recreation but when you want to be the first to the puck, you would need some good grip while trying to accelerate as fast as you can.
Also, how about getting sharpened at the Crowchild Arena? They have a pro shop there. I think my coach mentioned something about getting it sharpened at something Bauer arena, is that the one near U of C?

Ya I'd trust the pro shop at Crowchild...though it's never open when I play there. Father David Bauer is the place your coach is referring too. It's where the national team was housed all those many years ago
