Will you honour the free skate sharpens I have left on my scoremore card?

yes they do. It is also a really great place to get anything you need for cycling.

I used to get everything there for my road and mountain bike

They will be, but closer to their closing date, according to the guy I talked to.

Also, everything will get cheaper and cheaper as the closing date aproaches. In all likelyhood they will make minimal reductions to the higher end stuff (ie easton stealths, bauer 190's etc), and they will probably sell out of that stuff even with a minimal reduction, as this was the case with the Avenida sportcheck when it closed. There's just too many people that love those high end hockey sticks.

Went down today and picked up a new ball glove and batting gloves, the ball equipment was 25% off of the labeled price.

Do they have more than one location or just the downtown one? It seems odd that they are going bankrupt just a few years after that big expansion across the street into the two story store. Plus with all the population boom and all the new condos downtown... Strange...

I went there seeking some hockey deals, but to be honest, nothing that really warrants a purchase at this time. Composite sticks are only 15% off, as are gloves, pants, etc. I was hoping to grab a few Stealths or Vapor XXXX sticks, still too expensive there.

Still cheaper for me to order online via a few sites in the US right now, so until the price is comparable, I will buy from my usual stores and have it shipped from the states as I normally do.

The only good deals for me was the Under Armour gear at 30% off.
