Well, no. The award goes to Hockey Hawk. Unfortunately for us Kings fans, it is located deep in the heart of the O.C., but fortunately it is worth the drive if you are within 40 miles of the store.Quote:

I'd rate it:
1. Hockey Hawk
2. Cyclone Taylor (located in BC, Canada. Nicest guys in the world. Met them while on travelling team. If you want to go with a small West Coast shop that you can trust, there's no beating them. You will get your stuff!)
3. Hockey Giant (no comparison to #1 & #2)
4. Inline Warehouse
5. Hockey Outlet
Ummm... I've been ordering from IW and all their items come from San Luis Obispo, CA. If I order on a Monday, I'll have the items at my door step on Wednesday.Quote:

My bad. Oversight. I only ordered from them once, a long time ago.Quote:

Long Live Discount Hockey!!! RJ - you the man.
so if you smoke weed, you're a good hockey player?
No. A BETTER hockey player. ;)Quote:

I said "well, shouldn't that tell you that you should order more in each order." bright sales guy: shrugs shoulders.
Then I went to Hockey Monkey/Hawk Hockey 5 miles down the fwy: they had dozens of ABS blades to choose from.
I'm not going to waste my time w/ HG anymore.
I've learned that going in to the actual Hockey Giant store in Anaheim is a waste of time. They never have what I need in stock, or even my size for that matter.
It's better to just order from them online. Most of the good items come from their warehouse in Minnesota. In fact, I just ordered new RBK 8k shoulder pads for only $49, and those are coming from Minnesota.
