Our Company
We have evolved into what we are today, starting out modestly. We have found a need to provide and share our experience, whether to folks just getting started out, or to those players, skaters, and parents that have been involved for many years themselves.
We continue this personal-touch philosophy in our local retail shop today. We want customers to feel at home and know they can get trustworthy advice on Custom Orders and the lower cost alternative of beginning with Enrty level or User gear. Many more Options are always available, even Loaners, Rentals, Trades and Consignments... we do it all.
As experienced Skaters, Players, Refs, Coaches, and Organizers of Ice sports, we love to share our knowledge and offer valuable advice to anyone that is willing to come ask questions. Please feel free to just stop by, or ask for more infomation about our free Demos and Clinics. We know all of the Captains & Organizers and we can get you in the game!
