CharlesC 0 Report post Posted July 7, 2010 When ever I swing by Raleigh I make sure to visit Five Hole Sports for my skate sharpenings. Last time I bought skates, I was fitted and bought my skates from Andrew (I want to say it's Andrew). Five Hole also regularly has a good selection of Hurricanes' pro stock sticks and a good selection of gloves.Cool sports also has a good selection and knowledgeable staff.

I helped him open the shop, but am not really there all that much anymore as I took over as hockey director up in Wake Forest. Cool Sports went out of business, so all you have in the area now is the rink pro shops and Five Hole. I am a little bias, but I think Five Hole does a good job with fittings and has the FBV as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am a little bias, but I think Five Hole does a good job with fittings and has the FBV as wellI just realized two weeks ago that Cool Sports closed down. That's a real shame after being open for 10+ years. Today I went to Five Hole and got my first FBV sharpening. Hopefully I'll like it, but that may cause some problems in the future since as far as I know nobody in Charlotte does FBV. How long as Jerry been working at Five Hole? I remember when he used to work over at the Iceplex. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
