Great place for all things hockey, with an emphasis on skate fitting and sharpening. When there was an issue getting in what I initially ordered, they got me an upgrade at no extra cost. Very helpful crew.

What an amazing staff and store to outfit any skating needs you have. I came here after ~6 months on the ice to find new skates to address the gaps I had between a pair of figure skates (not enough ankle support) and old hockey skates (too much rock in the blade). Scott and Ryon were fantastic in listening to my needs and getting me in exactly the right skate for my skill level and needs. This may be premature, but I feel like I'll be a lifetime customer even after just one visit.

I decided to come back to hockey after a ~15 year hiatus from the sport. As I was in need of new skates, I stopped by Rocket Skate to take a look at some new goalie skates. Great experience-- the shop staff took the time to get me feet in a few pairs of skates, heated/molded each of the them to my feet to get the best feel of them, etc. Left with a new pair of skates, couldn't be happier with them.

First time in today...I've been looking for a great shop since moving to Colorado 2 years ago, just never got around to taking my skates in since moving. Scott and Nick were fantastic. I'll be back in the future!
