Hey guys and gals of RS!

I'm wondering what your opinion is regarding which of the local sports shops is the best one to get hockey skates from? By "best" i mean great selection, great service and great prices.

So far, i've been to Sportchek, Sportmart, The Hockey Shop, and Cyclone Taylor's online store. All of these stores are in Surrey so that's a plus. I know CT has a branch in Richmond as well so that's not too bad...

I'm a beginner so a wide selection of high-level skates will do me no good. I'm looking more at the Vector 04's and Vapor X:20 as a good benchmark for beginner skates.

So far I know for a fact that Sportchek carries these level of skates, but I don't think a Sportchek tech will help me with the process of fitting these as well as a guy in a dedicated hockey shop might. I don't want to go home with a $250 foot bondage device.

Thanks for the help people!
