WHY HOCKEYSTOP? 

With three boys in hockey, it was impossible to find the combination of great quality and great service for skate sharpening. It was always frustrating trying to find someone that actually knew what they were doing. The most important piece of equipment for a hockey player is the skate and how it performs on the ice. Performance is greatly increased by high quality skate sharpening. The $300 stick in the player's hand really doesn't matter if the player can't stay up on the ice. This is the single purpose for HockeyStop: to provide elite skate sharpening with exceptional customer care and exceptional customer service. 

We will not sacrifice quality for time. Sometimes we get asked why the wait is so long for skates to get sharpened. The answer is simple: we sharpen a lot of skates, and our customers expect the best. You can always find a place that can get them done while you wait, this should actually be a warning sign. We always use the analogy of going to a restaurant on a Friday night at 7pm, if there is nobody in the restaurant, and there isn't a wait, there is a reason. 

2020 is our 4th year of operation and we are so thankful for our customers! We will do everything we can to support our youth hockey communities while providing the best quality and the best service in skate sharpening!
