I'd shop at Cyclones or any Source for Sports Store (like The Hockey Shop) because they'll take the time to fit you properly. Sure you're paying a tad more but try getting somebody at Sportchek to punch out your skates if needed, most don't even know what that is, let alone how to do it.

OP, Come to Hockey Experts inside Richmond Center sportchek, and I'll get you properly fitted for full gear if you want. You will find our Hockey staff to be just as if not more knowledgeable than any other local hockey shop.
We offer services such as sharpening, including Flat Bottom V, skate baking, punching, riveting and much more custom work.
Do not be like my poster above and generalize an entire company because of one bad experience he's had with certain associates/stores.
If you want more information, send me a PM, or come into the store and look for a Hockey associate with a RevScene lanyard. I'd be more than happy to help you out with any questions you have.
