Looked like a great place , selection,quality all looked awesome...i was looking forward all day to go there and buy skates, havent been on the ice in years and have been saying for the past years i want to do this. But i guess you have to be a regular to get help there .Chose this store because I thought i would get better advice/help then a chain Sporting goods store. i walked in , walked around and the only person who said hello to me was a customer with his dog. i didnt mind waiting for help but when a woman walked in 10 minutes after me and the manager/owner put his son in the office to play on a computer so he could help her thats when i thought enough and walked out no one even said good by. To bad because i was ready to buy and the place looked really cool. I like to support small business but this is a perfect example of why they cant survive. Adam

I recently went to this store looking to purchase Goalie equipment for the first time. I was greeted at the door and offered assistance. A gentlemen by the name of Chuck helped me through every step, he spent almost 2 and a half hours answering any questions and was completely on the same page as me. I told him I wanted to spend as little as possible as long as the protection was good and he NOT ONCE tried to up sell me. Its nice to have someone listen when you tell them you dont want to break the bank as a first time player. All in all I would recommend going here any day of the week, as Chuck also helped my brother out and not once showing any level of frustration when I asked many dumb questions. 10/10 would goalie again.

Nice store but they couldnt sharpen a pencil. Had my goalie skates sharpened, got home to check them and noticed they seemed off. Took them back, manager said they were fine and re-sharened while telling me all about how they were fine and I didnt know how to check them. Still didnt look right and sure enough, I step on the ice that night and no inside edge on my skate playing net, could barely skate without slipping out. Took the skate to the rink pro-shop and they see the edge has been ground off and sharpened correctly. I have had my skates done by Hamden in the past and its usually been hit or miss but this was the worst

Just went for a skate sharpening while in the area for a tourney. Great shop! May go back today to make some purchases. This shop had a different room for almost every item, and a consignment or used skates area that was open to customers! Also had a stick in the desired curve, an item thats difficult to find back home. I highly recommend a visit!

I think that Hamden sports is a great hockey store. They have all the equipment that you would need. The staff is great a whole bunch of them are goalies so if you are a goalie you should go there. Their trades are probably the best around and are really fair. Overall I will go back again.
