tuxedo!! but be ready to wait a couple hours but they are only open tuesday-saturday

play it again sports by the new t&t is decent too, they keep track of which type u get and can change it if you didnt like it, usually done in 5 minutes

Pro skates locations...by far the best place. Stay away from T-blades, its way easier to get a skate sharpened then hunt for the right blade.

Pro skate is alrite. Go to Rapid rent and Ski on Heritage and Elbow Dr. I have been going there for 10 + years and have always done a good job.

I used to go to Dynamic Cycle on 17th ave but they shut down a while ago. Pro Skate was my #2 choice.

Tuxedo is awesome but was too far away for me. Jack is great guy.

B&P i personally think they do a shit job.

No Sweat on Macleod, Todd does a wicked job, keeps track of what you get done.
21b-8720 Macleod trail (its where the co-op is)

The other place that I find (been there 2x) is Adrenalin Source for sports
9309 Macleod Trail sw

Honestly, don't go to Sport Chek or Sport Mart. It's hit and miss whether or not you'll hit someone who actually knows what they're doing...

yeah they do shit jobs there.. bought some new skates a few years ago at sport chek and got them sharpend, hit the ice and they didnt even feel like they had been sharpened... so i had to get off the ice and miss half the period so i could get them done in one of those at rink machines.. and those do a shitty job but better then sport chek
