2 Stars - Scheels is great overall, but not for hockey…read more Scheels is a great store for a lot of sporting goods, but if you're looking for hockey equipment, I would honestly recommend going somewhere else. My son recently started getting into hockey, and we went there hoping to get some help with skates and gear. Unfortunately, it was clear pretty quickly that the hockey department just doesn't have staff with much hockey knowledge. Whether it was skates, sticks, or general equipment questions, there really wasn't anyone who seemed confident or experienced enough to help. The most frustrating experience was when we purchased skates and were told they had been sharpened by the Scheels staff. After my son had a very negative experience on the ice, we took the skates to a rink, and the staff there confirmed the blades had not actually been sharpened. That kind of thing makes a big difference, especially when someone is just starting the sport. If you're serious about hockey equipment, save yourself the frustration and go somewhere that specializes in it. Prices are very competitive elsewhere, and the staff actually care and know what they're doing. Pure Hockey on 72nd is absolutely worth the trip. Scheels does a lot of things well, but hockey just doesn't seem to be one of them.

My daughter had never been fishing before, so this was a really fun time for all of us as a family. We got there at 10 because that's when the event was supposed to start, but we had had quite a bit of rain starting around 9 AM so they pushed it back a little bit. We had a couple of hours to kill and it was easily done. We got to walk around and look at all of their ATVs and boats as well as a lot of different products that they had. My daughter had a really fun time, looking at the fish in their indoor tank. The actual fishing event is definitely my five star here. Staff was so kind and helped load and bait my daughter's hook. They were helpful with fish removal and super kind with tips and tricks.

What an experience!! Huge facility and an equally large parking lot. Lots of staff to assist you…read moreand the store was well stocked. Everything was neat and presentable. The centerpiece of the store is a taxidermy dream. Animals or all sorts - desert, animal, river and polar animals. There is a few aquariums with a selection of fish included some huge catfish. Along one wall, there is a display of African game animals. All the taxidermy work is very impressive. Boats, motor carts, guns, ammo, fishing gear, snorkeling, clothing, shoes and boots. Camping gear and equipment. Kayaks. What an adventure. Only bought candy on this trip. Ok, bye.
