We were heading from Maine to the Edge arena this weekend..passed Zwickers on the way. Our older…read moreson has been battling ankle pain for over a year and seemed to aggravate the area recently. He has been struggling with pain while skating so badly that he hasn't been able to skate for the past 2+ weeks. X-Rays and ortho consults aside, he has tried bunga pads, orthotics, foam donuts, punching at a pro-shop in Maine... and rest...nothing was cutting it. We thought we would have to buy new skates and take an extended period off to recover. Long story short- Stacey and Wayne at Zwickers took amazing care of us. Molded his boot perfectly to fit his humongous ankle bone comfortably and fixed his overpronation. Wayne also provided some heartfelt education to our stubborn 14 year old regarding mechanics and to speak up if he's in pain. He left the shop with zero pain and played in all 3 of his games this weekend that he originally thought he would have to sit out. Not only is he no longer in pain, but his mental health has greatly improved and we have the amazing professionals at Zwickers to thank for that. We will be taking the 4.5 hour long road trip to Zwickers for all hockey needs in the future. 100% worth it. Thank you Stacey and Wayne!!

If you need hockey equipment for yourself or your child, and need assistance with choosing the…read moreright gear you should go to Sports Etc. The staff is well trained and knows how to fit the equipment to you. It's a family owned store and it has a really great selection of hockey equipment, including an entire basement of sticks with fake ice for trying them out. Prices are decent. Less expensive than some of the chains. This is my favorite hockey store. I will say that my daughter prefers to have her skates sharpened elsewhere though. Not really sure why.

The sales associate that worked with us- Will- was super helpful, and even helped to size my son for the right goalie leg pads, adjust the straps on our existing pads, and add toe bungee cords that we purchased from the store. He was very patient in explaining the gear to us. Would definitely recommend to all hockey parents!

Zapstix's owner Michael Paugh has not paid for the surfboards he is currently selling in his shop. He constantly said he was going to send payments only to disappear. Its sad because I really tried to give Mike every opportunity to do the right thing. I guess you can't do business with a good ole fashion hand shake anymore. At least with Mike you can't. Over three months late and I haven't heard from him.
