Best place to get personalized help with outfitting kids for hockey. Very knowledgeable and helpful staff. Old school customer service and always have a variety of styles and sizes in stock. Will not take my hockey business online or elsewhere while Blade Dept is around!

My wife got fitted there for her figure skates and we had such an amazing experience that we went back there for my own pair (hockey skates). The staff was amazing and super knowledgeable definitely a great experience

Pretty good stick selection, you aren't going to get as much selection or customization as the big stores like pure hockey or monkey sports. Otherwise the way this place shines is its skate selection and its NHL team apparel rack.

Josh is the best. Best place to go for skates.

We are so happy with our skates. The owner was highly knowledgeable and recommended the best model and fit for our needs. I bought skates for my 4 year old, 10 year old and even got a pair for myself. I'm so glad I didn't just order a pair…

Great service! I'm an adult beginner getting into figure skating and they had a ton of skate options in different sizes. He measured my foot then heated the skates to mold to my feet and sharped the blades for me. He was very knowledgeable…

I walked into this pro shop as a walk-in, and Josh was incredibly helpful in fitting me for my first pair of figure skates. The entire process took about an hour from start to finish, and at every step it was clear he genuinely cared about finding the right skates for me. He was patient, thorough, and took the time to understand my goals, educating me throughout the process and making me feel comfortable and confident in my choice. If you're new to skating or upgrading your boots, this is absolutely the place to go. Could not recommend him more.

I had a great experience getting fit for my first pair of figure skates today as an adult beginning skater. Drove down from West LA based on other Yelp reviews and was not disappointed. Buy your first pair of skates here and rest easy you'll be fit for a pair that's a match for your age and skill level! Ask the front desk at the ice rink to direct you to the entrance.

Got fitted for my daughters and myself almost 3 months ago. So happy I came here instead of ordering online. My skates are very comfortable and 1.5 sizes smaller than what I would've ordered myself. My daughters have some room to grow but have not complained at all about blisters.

Jillian W.via Yelp

Phenomenal service. Josh was very patient, informative, kind and just wonderful. He took his time to go over the different kind of skates and great tips! We will definitely be back and I highly recommend this place! Located on the first floor next to where the Loft used to be. Just walk down the hallway follow the signs.

risa y.via Yelp

Best service ever and Josh is fantastically helpful. Has a wide selection of skate sizes for women too which is great. Hate the struggle to get up that damned hill but worth it!

Kate H.via Yelp

Kinda hard to find coz there was no available sign from the outside but other than that service is excellent.

Porfirio R.via Yelp

Love this shop and Josh is so kind and professional! He has sharpened our daughter's skates for years!
