We service the Prince George area and clubs all over Northern BC. We also have a location in Campbell River on Vancouver Island. As a specialty store, we pride ourselves in exclusively focusing our business on skates and skating. As such we have earned the respect of clubs, coaches, parents and skaters of all levels.
