Hockey life is open!!!!
Wandered by 130th today and figured I'd swing by Hockey Life. Low and behold it was open!! Awesome place...I was in heaven. Woulda bought a whole new set of goalie equipment if the wife hadn't stopped me. According to the cashier, the grand opening is August 19th

Do they have a pro skate sharpener or some 13-year-old kid who has no idea what he's doing?

I'm sure they'll have the proper equipment for you at the grand opening.

Didn't ask as I wasn't looking for skates, there was just too much stuff to see

Im going to take a pop down later today. Is it even worth it if they don't even have the place stocked?

There was a ton of stuff there, but yeah, lots of staff but I was pretty much the only customer.
Got to shoot in the stick testing area - pretty cool.
It's a great store, and I'm sure I'll be there weekly once hockey starts.
Do you think they'll re-palm your gloves there? Where would be a good place to get that done?

So I went anyways, man, that store is wicked. Loved playing around in the puck shooting accuracy game thing. Trying out some new sticks etc. Plenty of fun. Fiancee was with me, so she stifled any impulse buys, but I'll definitely be going back there soon... this time alone.

I didn't because I took my skates to that other hockey store on McLeod near Heritage where i bought them. It did look like they had an area at the back for it. I can't see how you couldn't have a skate sharpener in there.
