In Central Alberta where I live I have two hockey shops besides the typical sportmart's, sport check's... The one always has great selection and stock but the owner and his son... let's put it this way i grapple with my self-respect when I give them my hard earned money... especially the son. As for the other place...great people but not the selection. However they do a beautiful skate sharpening. Real good people there. When I was buying my last pair of skates I asked the young guy helping me if he knew the weights of the various skates... he grabbed a bunch and took me to the back and threw them on the scale. Spent about 15 min with me knowing I wasn't going to be buying that day. Always great service there.
