The owner is very knowledgeable about the sport and the equipment. He takes the time to educate you on the equipment and does not try to upsell you on more expensive accessories. I travel all the way from Kenosha to have him sharpen our skates.... that should tell you something. 100% recommend Hockey Locker!!

Report
The stock holders on my skates had suffered some damage, so I called Hockey Locker upon the recommendation of a friend. Milos was extremely helpful and had my skates fixed up and ready to go with new TUUKs in time for my two playoff games this weekend. Highly recommend Milos and his shop!

Report
Couldn't have had a better experience buying skates. The owner was helpful and stopped what he was doing as soon as I walked in to help fit me for skates. He was informative about the prices and tiers of skates without being pushy or trying to get me to buy more expensive skates than I needed at the time. He seemed to genuinely want me to have a good skating experience based on my level. The store was also fully stocked with skates and equipment. I like that they also had a good selection of jerseys. It's everything I wanted in a hockey store.
