REVscene Automotive Forum - View Single Post - Hockey Players: Where do you get your skates sharpened?

As the title states, which shops do you prefer based solely on quality? (not convenience of location)

So I've tried the following:

Canlan North Van Rink
Burnaby 8 Rinks Pro-shop
Hockey Shop (Surrey)
Cyclone Taylors (Vancouver)
Sport Check

It's wierd, I would say, I've received awesome quality work on my skates on all of the above locations (except SportCheck). The main problem I find is the frequency of quality work I receive. Sometimes I get a good sharpen, sometimes I don't. I've come to conclude that quality work does not depend on the shop, but the shop employee currently working at the time.

In that respect, I would say I received the most frequent quality work from Canlan North Van Rink.

So, where do you guys get yours done?
