Play It Again Sports

Can’t believe I haven’t wrote this before. This is my «go to» play it again and skate sharpening destination. This place has also bailed me out more times than I can count when it comes to «gear failures» while playing at Schwans or Fogarty.
Very nice hockey gear selection from solid skates, used and new, to the gear itself. Solid mix of new gear and used gear, along with almost all the accessories. A few items can’t be found here (hard cover skate fenders, or feet guards for blocking shots), some visor items and compression/​performance apparel. However, the major items are almost always covered — stick, s skates, shinnies, cup, breezers, elbows, shoulder pads, buckets and bags.
If you’re looking for somewhere to get into the sport, this is a great place to start and get your hands on the beginner gear with the guidance of a great staff and at a solid price. Lets face it, hockey is an expensive sport and if you’re just getting into it, the price alone can scare you away. Stop here first and try things out before moving on to getting new, top of the line gear.
Skate sharpening… it’s a bit spendy for the standard, $ 4.50 I think. But, I’ve NEVER had my skates messed up here, and the guys ALWAYS check what kind of sharpen I want, and at what setting. That in itself is reason enough for me to spend more on the sharpen. If you have questions on what kind of sharpening to get, or what setting, they can answer them and get you squared away.
For other sports, they do have a seasonal rotation that is typically well stocked.
Overall, great store, solid location next to my most visited rinks, great staff, and the inventory is normally adequate for my needs.
