The present invention is concerned with a blade support for an ice skate. The support comprises a structural unitary elongated frame constructed of plastic material or the like. The frame has a vertical wall with a transverse front sole plate and a rear heel plate for securing the frame to a skate boot. An elongated blade receiving channel is provided in a lower edge of the frame for receiving a top portion of a skate blade. Localizing cavities are provided in the channel to position the blade at a predetermined position therein. Fasteners extend transversely to the channel for removably securing the blade in the channel. A plurality of structural ribs extend over the vertical wall and are disposed under the sole plate and heel plate to strengthen the vertical wall.
