Like people have said, going to places like Sport Check and Canadian Tire are really hit and miss.
I used to work at Canadian Tire and I had people request for me when they brought their skates in to be sharpened. I've seen some of the part-time guys (even full-time guys) not give a hoot and do a poor job on the skates. After I left CT I would only get my skates sharpened by one specific person as I trained him to sharpen skates. When he quit CT and got a job at Sport Mart I would go to Sport Mart. Now that he is out of retail I go to a local shop that has a good reputation for sharpening skates (Bert & Mac's for those of you living in Lethbridge).
