Two sheets of ice. Open, airy and it doesn't stink too bad like hockey LOL.
We stopped in because my son outgrew his hockey skates, and we figured we would check while we were there. The pro shop in Fresno didn't have any his size last time we went in, they were waiting on an order.
The guy Rick spent a good 45 minutes with us, and really took the time to fit my son properly. This is a big deal because most hockey skaters tend to be 'meaty' or 'husky' and my son has about 4% body fat LOL. So fitting him isn't always easy.
They had some skabtes in the $300 range, but for an 8 year old? I don't think so. We settled on a pair of Eastons, which Rick baked for 5 minutes, then they put them on his feet to form them and sharpened them and he was on the ice and all smiles.
The Eastons came to $120, and by the time we were finished fit him like a glove. On a side note we heard one of the guys talking smack about the Fresno Monsters and I called him out. We all had a laugh and he knows Eric Ballard (Coach, Fresno Monsters) so it was all good.
Rick told us he just got home from officiating pro hockey in Germany for 5 years, this guy knows his stuff. What a treasure to have on staff.
