Some of the most special moments in skating start long before the medals, the tests, or the big performances. They start here, with friendship, laughter, encouragement, and a love for the ice.

One of the greatest gifts has been growing alongside generations of skaters and watching young athletes find confidence, community, and joy through this sport. From first skates to lifelong memories, it’s an honor to be part of every step, stumble, spin, and breakthrough along the way.

Thank you to all of our young skaters and skating families for letting us be part of your journey. We’re so grateful to grow with you.

Warm, cozy, and made for rink life.

The Teddy Sweater features ultra-soft boucle, an oversized fit, a hidden phone pocket, and an adjustable waist for the perfect feel on and off the ice.

Finished with an exclusive skating club logo because being part of the skating community goes beyond your home rink.

This year, we're celebrating 70 years in business!

We began in 1956 as a small rink shop inside Rainbo Ice Arena in Chicago. From those early days, our focus was simple: help skaters find what they need to feel supported on the ice.

Over time, that commitment has stayed the same, even as the sport, and the way we serve it, has evolved.
We’ve worked with first-time skaters finding their footing, and with athletes performing on the world’s biggest stages. We’ve grown from a local shop to serving skaters across the country and around the world. And along the way, we’ve continued to invest in new ways to better support this community, from our catalog and dealer network to e-commerce and on-the-road services.

At the center of it all is the same belief:
That every skater deserves the right fit, the right equipment, and the right support to reach their full potential.

Our success has always been tied to the success of the skaters and families we serve, and we don’t take that lightly. To everyone who has trusted us, grown with us, and been part of this journey over the past 70 years—thank you.

We’re proud to be part of your story.
