New engineering grad develops innovative skate technology
Jeffrey Azzolin has invented a spring-loaded skate that is designed to improve performance and help prevent injuries. Azzolin, who graduated from mechanical engineering in June, developed Bladetech hockey skates after noticing that some skates on the market boast increased speed due to their lighter construction. He created a new technology in the form of a spring-loaded blade that allows skaters to go even faster and protect against injuries as part of an engineering design project.
