  1. I just had a great experience at a LHS. I live in Mass. First, I went to one of the bigger LHS to get my 2.5 year old his first pair of skates. I dealt with a high school kid and they ended up not haveing a pair small enough. So, I took a ride to Cookes in Wilmington. It was great. The salesman went over everything. He fitted my son. Baked the skates. We talked about ways to get my 2.5 interested in hockey. The guy was great. Then we tried to fit him with shin pads, elbow pads, and pants but he was too small. Then we talked about the pros and cons to modifying equipment to fit him. All and all he spent about 1.5 hours with me. The place was busy so he was running around like a nut trying to help everyone. I talked to other fathers with older kids as well. We even watched the Bruins game on a flat screened while the skates were being baked. It was a great experience. Really it was a great afternoon with my son. It is part of the hockey culture. I was proud as hell watching my 2.5 year old trying to walk around the store with the new skates on, while other fathers were patting me on the back. Why would you give that up to save a couple bucks is beyond me. This is a little off topic but what the hell.....

    Cookes is great. I've gotten my last 2 pairs there. The only thing I don't like there is the sharpenings.
