Gunzo's Pure Hockey
3 reviews for Gunzo's Pure Hockey
I play both inline and ice and this is a great place for ice and poor place for inline. They have a lot of decent sticks, pants, helmets, guards of all sorts for the ice. However, they barely have anything dealing with inline.
I do have to say though, the collection of hockey sweaters is out of this world.
I don't play hockey (duh) but finally found myself some decent figure skates here. Unlike Sports Authority, Gunzo's had more than one choice of skate (OK, it was only two) and someone actually helped me tie them on. I had to drop a c-note for them, but with the exorbitant cost of rentals at Millennium Park (NINE bucks!) the cost should be amortized in a couple of years. There were lots of different skate guards to choose from, and a first sharpening for free.
If you are a hockey player, you will find everything you need here, plus some cute hockey-themed shirts for the ladies.
This place is like a hallway with a constant background noise of skate sharpener grinding, but I was pleasantly surprised at how much gear tit had. Wow. I had been looking for new elbow pads and shin guards online for over two weeks, and Gunzo's had all four models I was considering, in my size, plus many more. They also have about every stick in every curve you can think of. The prices don't seem to be inflated either, which can be a drawback to such small stores. Probably because they have a few other retail outlets elsewhere... Anyway, if you need any hockey gear, don't waste your time with Sports Authority's pathetic hockey section. Even Play It Again can't compete, and they claim to be the biggest hockey retailer in the country.
