chippa13 1844 Report post Posted February 12, 2010 TSR now has satellite stores in the Valley League rinks in Haverhill and Lawrence.The Lawrence store was actually the first TSR shop. They only keep the Lawrence store now because the guys who own the Lawrence and Haverhill make them keep it so they can have the Haverhill location. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bostonbruins 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2010 I still wanna check it out. I don't doubt youI went after christmas when they only had about 20 sticks and 5 pairs of gloves. The guy said they would be getting their next order in a couple of weeks, so they probaly have more equipment now. Let me know how it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trudy14 0 Report post Posted March 11, 2010 It's still junk. I went down (from NH) last Sunday and there were hardly any sticks or gloves, pretty much just clothes and shoes. I ended up buying a hat and a sweatshirt, I wasn't leaving empty handed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gateway Hardware and Bertelli's, both amazing amount of product and expertise.I like Bertelli's better, as far as helpful and welcoming goes.At Gateway, I think the really tall guy knows an awful lot, but he doesn't really interact with the customers. It's mainly the others that don't know as much that actually end up interacting with the customers, in my experience.Both have a good selection of items, though, as far as that goes.

JTully317 11 Report post Posted April 20, 2011 TSR is by far the best in the area. A bit of a hike from Boston but well worth the drive. Great selection of custom and prostock sticks gloves and pants as well as regular stock equipment. Also they have a very knowledgeable staff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Moose 1 Report post Posted February 19, 2012 I'll bump this as I'm looking for a Boston-area shop with a decent skate collection for trying out some new styles. No car access so must be local / T accessible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
