The NHC! Best concession stand in the state!

Tour Helmet!!!

She plays for the University of MN-Duluth women's team...

You look like you mean business.. Is your team color a dark maroon or is it black? That isnt Apple Valley Varsity is it? They were pretty tough back in the days of Karl Goehring in net. When did Apple Valley get away from the sweet brown and yellow color combo? I was always hoping that Fargo South and Apple Valley would play a game against each other so the brown breezers could play each other.

I hate that. I don't know how many times I've been tempted to just cut the damn laces. especially when the laces are all brown coloured i dont wanan touch those. or when there wet from just playing and they dont have the courtesy to wipe them down Yeah, "mystery" wet skates are the worst... Or when someone wants a skate re-riveted and there is standing water on the footbed. Ick.

One of my biggest peeves is how we live in a "disposable" society. I get a lot of customers who come in wanting an entire item replaced instead of just getting a repair. The most recent is a lady who bought her son Vapor triple x's (its vapor 30!) and there are three stitches coming loose at the top of the tendon guard. "I'm worried the plastic in there might fall out and cut his leg". Instead of just putting some tape over the 3 missed stitches, she'd rather have her son break in a new pair of skates b/c of a cosmetic issue. Its always little stuff like that, no one ever wants to try to repair something or get it fixed. They just want something new. The other peeve is the condecension I receive b/c I'm a girl. I've been doing this long enough to know what I'm talking about but most guys can't get past the long hair. It has its upsides though. Its pretty humerous when mom's come and ask me to size their 15yr old sons in jock shorts. Those kids get so red! :D
