After about 20 minutes I was greeted somewhat rudely and abruptly by an older gentleman so I didn't even bother asking questions. Seemed as though the staff had changed over a short period of time and no one cared as much to truly help me as the two younger employees who helped me back in December. Unfortunately neither was working this day. Additionally, overheating some of the conversations the employees had was generally upsetting. I know it's a hockey store but employees should be cursing as much as they would on the ice when at work. Not a good look.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…read more.. Perani's helped my husband a great deal by adjusting the pitch on his skates and pushing him more onto his toes. This has improved his speed, and reduced his back pain while skating/playing hockey. It is a much cheaper and much more practical alternative to inserts. Unfortunately, whoever got ahold of my skates had no clue what they were doing. I have the good ole CCM V08's with rocket runner blades. Rocket runners were short lived, but instead of swapping out my blade and chassis to the tune of $150, I live with them because overall, I think it's a pretty nice blade and my skates are incredibly light. Anyway, I (or my husband) always ask if the sharpener knows what they're doing because you can't just throw the skate in a normal 3mm jig and go to town. The guy here assured the hubs that he knew what he was doing, then threw the skate in the jig and went to town. Because you can do this with goalie jigs (sometimes), we thought maybe it would be ok. Wrong! I hit the ice for an open skate and something felt horribly wrong. My left foot shimmied, and I felt like I had no control over my feet. I have played hockey for 15 years. I know what a bad sharpening feels like because this wasn't the first time it happened. I thought maybe if I beat on them a bit to dull the blades up it would get better. Wrong again! I could use my right blade okay, but it wasn't the same. When I tried to stop on my left blade (going the speed of a small child who can't skate), I caught an edge, flew through the air, and landed on my wrist. Luckily Botsford ER was just down the street (review on this to come next) and I found out that I did not have a break, just a bad sprain. I brought my skates in somewhere else the next day to get them fixed and (after interviewing the guy on how to sharpen Rocket Runners and being satisfied that he knew what to do) I was advised that my right blade was "usable" and my left blade was mangled. Since my blades have limited sharpenings in them due to their slim nature, the guy said to take enough off to fix it, it would basically be losing 4-5 sharpenings. Neat! Moral of the story- if you have a unique blade on your skate, bring in a questionnaire before handing them over to the sharpeners at Peranis. But, if you need a new pitch, you should be good to go.

They were able to bake them right there and sharpened the blades before I left. I can't wait to try them out, and when I'm ready to upgrade my skates, I'm definitely coming back to Hockey World.

Knowing how to proper profile a new skate and then maintaining that setup is a true art. That's what they do. Once your interviewed and your initial sharpening is done, stay with Pro Skate for each sharpening. Especially if precision is important to you. These folks take the time to find out about how you skate, where you skate and what is needed to achieve success. A poorly profiled skate or even just a bad edge will absolutely make the difference. Skate with confidence knowing you have good edges. Pro skate is also your stop for hockey blades, holders and all your skating accessories. Even equipment sanitizing and repairs.
