The big-box store analogy is hogwash. Well then again, what do I know? I've run hockey retail stores for a long time. You won't get the skate fittings, but you will sell sticks and gloves last-minute. In all of my years, I've found that being there til the last ice starts and stopping sharpening services 30 min prior to it works out just fine.
-
That is exactly why - to do the next day jobs. I've been cursed out so many times from guys coming in at 8:55 when the store closes at 9. Not happening.
-
That doesn't bother me; the stuff is out there. I mean, now when you've organized a glove wall a certain way and every glove is placed the same way and you take one and put them the wrong way...I always shake my head at that. LOL But no, the worst is when you spend 45 minutes fitting someone for multiple skates, and they're just browsing...that does get annoying. But every person who walks in that store is a potential sale. After a while, you are able to figure out who's serious and who's not.

I guess they don't want to make money. While you're kicking out the tire-kickers, there are legitimate customers you're alienating by doing that.
-
You don't have to do that. Just tell them you stop sharpening 30 minutes before closing. Signage may help too...that way you condition your customers to come in a bit earlier.

Depends on how I feel that day. The best was when I was in MI and some dude tried to return worn shinpads and turned around and said I was a stupid nigger who probably has never played hockey. Those situations, you're actually calm. LOL
-
I've been asked that question many times in my career.

Sticks are identical in every facet.

Please don't go out of your way to quote the pic.

I was bored. NanoGlide on TotalONE.

Congrats, Kate! Tried to send you a wall post on Facebook but for some reason it's saying that I have to add you as a friend, but when I try that, it says we are already friends...must be the name change ;-)

Seriously

You'll never catch Drew.

Used to be sold, just not popular I guess.

No, the one IW has is not the same as the 10k. The 8k is based off the Jofa AC830 jock, and the 10k adds garters to it. Europe only.

Holding the skate holder was a great touch. Shop guys were like "You wanna do what?"
-
That was my one and only plank. LOL

Factory shutting down for 3 weeks on the 15th.

I say 3 as a precaution...

IF BAKED CORRECTLY you can skate 3 hrs after baking a TotalONE or APX...we just don't tell you that - especially when you hear stories of 7min baking jobs. Play it safe and wait 24 hrs. Fridge trick was me...it works.

To continue with this, after calling 911 on my dad yesterday (looks like he has some sort of blockage) I went to my doctor because my blood pressure hasn't dropped down. After a EKG and blood pressure medication prescription, they want me to see a cardiologist. I am officially on the shelf for the time being, which means I will not participate in on-ice SummerJam activities next month.

Name change to Alkali Hockey. As I understood it, Armada was previously trademarked.
