..."But aside from the achy feet and a few spills thanks to dull skates, there were plenty of smiles as hockey took its first strides back onto arena ice this weekend."... Well shucks - the journalist who wrote this story must not realize that there are some fairly easy solutions readily available for BOTH of these problems... We're here to help anyone with "dull skates" or "achy feet", even in a COVID-world...

Hockey back on ice after positive Stage 2 go-ahead Hockey is back in local arenas — but with physically distancing measures in place — after last Tuesday's Stage 2 inclusion by the provincial government

The sole had broken down on these older Golden Horse custom figure boots just enough that they wouldn’t hold screws anymore. A quick repair extended their life and allowed the blades to be mounted securely.

Extended the straps on this set of youth goalie knee pads and added some new Velcro.

A definite upgrade to these Nash Sniper tongues. Factory tongues had seen better days! Topped ‘er off with a full re-rivet of both boots, and a buzz, and these are ready for more action.

When the store you bought your nice, brand new skates at gives you the burnt, rippled, “NASCAR special” sharpen, we’re here to fix it for you

Eyelet Row Boot Repair from last week. This pair came in with a broken/torn top eyelet. Plastic was broken through and liner/leather was torn. Opened up the boot, reinforced with plastic and ripstop across the 3 top eyelets and sealed it back up. Ready for action!

Rick made a staffing change when I took the morning off yesterday. I fully support the decision. Our newest employee is a quick learner! Literally works for biscuits, and fetches skates from the shelf in record time. We do have to apologize about the drool in your skates though 🤣 We’re working on that!

Split shift holiday hours for Family Day. Pickups will be unavailable between noon and 4pm (we’ll be closed while there isn’t anything going on at the arenas...).

Classic CCM Super Tacks with Tuuk 2000 holders. Had these beauties in for a buzz last night. They don’t make em like this anymore! Holder and boot both made in Canada. Full leather liner and sole.

Skate lace bracelets for days! This special order haul is going to novice tournament participants. Thank you for your support!

Never ceases to amaze me how some shops sharpen youth skates. Smaller skates often get a poor sharpening because some sharpeners think the skater won’t know the difference, or the tiny skate torques in the holder and the Tech is too lazy to adjust. The top-left pic is how this tiny skate came in, the top-right is after some TLC from Doc. Don’t you think little skaters deserve a proper grind too? We do - that’s why it doesn’t matter the size of the skate, everyone gets proper, level, keen edges with us.
