At first I didn't know where to start and it was difficult to find people out on the floor to help. I was struggling to find the right helmet size and was ready to just call it go somewhere that had more staff (just to be clear i work in retail and I know it can be hard to get full staff on a holiday so I don't hold it against the store by any means I just chose the wrong day to shop lol) but then John over at the repair shop offered to help me out with the helmets adjusting them so I knew which size was right. So I kept going back to John to for any questions I had. He was very friendly, knowledgeable and professional I really appreciate him helping me out even though that wasn't his job to do. Management I want you to know John himself single-handedly kept this customer in the store when they were ready to leave and made sure my 1500 dollar sale didn't walk out the door. Thanks John!

What a terrible experience. I recently did a learn to play hockey session and ended up joining a…read morerookie league. It's my first time playing hockey.... Im a complete beginner. I bought skates on sideline but didn't know anything about sizing for hockey skates and the results were predictably terrible. Everyone in the locker room really wanted to help me and recommend I go to a shop in Anaheim or to hockey monkey in Irvine. The guys vouching for hockey monkey won me over with their stories of how good the staff was. I did not have a good experience, will not go back, and do not recommend. As stated... total beginner. I informed the sales rep, Alex, about my price range and that I'm just getting started and he grabbed some skates. I settled on a a pair and he informed me of the baking process. He baked my skates, laced them up for me, told me he would be right back and that I needed to remain seated for them to cool. Then - unbeknownst to me - he clocked out and went home. I waited there with my family ( we were hard to miss) until a manager came and told me the store was closed. I felt like a complete idiot. I hadn't even paid for the skates yet. I didn't know the process. The manager told me they still needed to be sharpened. They were nice enough to do that after close and the guy doing the sharpening was cool. But I was still really disappointed and felt stupid. Everyone in the hockey community has been cool up until this point. Very discouraging. Here is the kicker. I was just sitting there. Prime customer for gear. You could have sold me waxed laces, orthotics, pads, helmet, Anything! Im super new to the sport and definitely could have used the help. Easy sales. I will be going to the other store the guys recommended in Anaheim and probably play it again or online. Why would I ever go back to MonkeySports?!?
