ive gotten sharpens from cyclone and the hockey shop, and prefer cyclones. as for sport chek, i think it's already been beaten to death- just dont do it if you care about your life LOL
as for other equipment- i must say that i was very pro-cyclones before going to the hockey shop. all i could say when i walked inside was W O W. way more selection than my local cyclone and comparable pricing. they price match as well so its not a big deal. but the selection is omg. only store that ive been to that has more shaft and stick selection. mmmm one95 shaft 77 flex
its just too far though, but very accessible as its right under surrey central skytrain. just make sure to watch where you are and dont hang out near the station for too long
