Likes
- They have kids that currently play hockey that work there, so they know their shit. 2 forwards, 1 goalie.
-They've got some harder to find accessories, and a good selection of jerseys, etc.
-Good skate and stick selection
-Skate sharpening is cheap, while baking and fitting boots are FREE. They did it for me and I didn't even buy the skates there. SCORE!
Dislikes
-The prices are not great. They have things there that are way out of date (Goalie pads that are being discontinued but they still sell for almost $100 more than anywhere else).
-Very little selection of higher end gear. Granted, probably due to that not that many goalie purcheses happen there.
-Pretty much Bauer only. Stick wise, gear wise. It's one big ass Bauer commercial. They need other players in there to be more effective such as RBK, Vaughn, Brian's.

They have very limited selection for top end items for players too. I guess they need to appeal to the general public which means more variety lower level to intermediate stuff, and less for higher end gear. Their regular prices are very high, and I have only purchased stuff from there when it was either on sale or I had a gift card. Stick selection is very limited as well in terms of flex and patterns.
I am the type that won't go anywhere else except Cyclone Taylor. They are close to where I live, and I like to support the smaller family run shops.
