MonkeySports Superstore

Great selection for hockey gear. Service could probably be more forthcoming, but my eventual skate guy was knowledgeable. This is my hockey spot until something better comes along.

My niece had a bad experience last year when she needed her goalie head restrung. They did it incorrectly then tried to push the blame on us? No thank you. They did fix it after I spoke to the manager but gave a lot of attitude. This year my daughter who plays lacrosse needed to get a new stick. I was really trying to avoid Monkey but it’s the only lacrosse specialty store in the area. We had gone to Dicks/​Sports Authority but they really only had beginner stuff. She had legitimate questions about the sticks (which brands are better than others, head shape, etc.) and the kid helping us out didn’t have a clue and no one else was there to help. Little to no selection, the kids who work there fool around and act very unprofessional. My second trip just reassured me that taking an extra drive down to Lacrosse Unlimited in Madison is well worth it.

Just bought a pair of skates here. The guy helping me was very knowledgeable about sizes and fits of all style/​brands. Helped me find a pair that fit perfectly and had them baked while being there. Went during the day on a week day so it was slow inside but was asked several times by different people if I needed any help with anything. Large space with lots of selection. Would definitely go back.

Good luck finding someone to help you. I was looking to purchase a new pair of skates although the sales kid was helping someone I wasnt even acknowledged after standing around for over 20 mins. I tried to find someone else and he just told someone is in the skate section. Oh well I walked out.

Unbelievable selection, horrible customer service. They went wrong 4 times…
I had 3 different staff members helping me try on skates differing the same visit.
Two of them got year and pricing wrong on a pair of skates, leading me to believe they were $ 100 cheaper than actual. The manager also came out, and basically said «tough shit, there’s nothing we can do for you.»
They did nothing to remedy the situation and didn’t have the same size of the comparable skate.

Went to hockey monkey when I was looking to buy all new hockey equipment for the upcoming season. They carry everything from beginner to advanced equipment. Prices are reasonable and compare to any website Ive looked at.
When you walk in your pretty much on your own. No one really walks up to you and asks if you help or are looking for a size (which can be difficult). They carry every brand that makes anything hockey related.
Purchased some skates here as well. The worker that assisted me was very knowledgeable with all the sizing of the brands. In the back of the store they have skate sharpening and a hockey skate oven, prices seemed reasonable for those services and were free of charge when you purchase skates from there.
I enjoyed shopping in hockey monkey, but I don’t think I will make the trip out there again. I will just shop on site.

Went to Monkey Sports to purchase hockey equipment with my college age son who needed full gear since hadn’t been updated since he was a junior in HS. We started looking at skates he was interested in and had questions on materials, performance, fit, etc, that we were lucky enough to have answered by our salesperson, Teddy.
What can I say. I’ve been buying skates and other hockey equipment for my son since he was 3 years old and I’ve never had such a positive experience as with Teddy at Monkey who was knowledgeable and friendly. He answered questions honestly and intelligently providing advice and asked probing questions to determine why and what my son was looking for in skates, pads and pants.
From skates over to elbow pads (looking for replacements that matched his old style pads) to shin guards, Teddy knew what the replacement pads were and what the expected fit was. Teddy knew the expected fit of hockey pants and was patient while my son tried on 5 or 6 different pairs. It was fun and informative. We ended up leaving with over $ 1200 worth of gear, all top quality.
Very happy with Monkey Sports in Woodbridge and the knowledgeable assistance we received from Teddy.

Great selection and prices. Keep an eye out for sales… the prices are unbelievable. The kids there are very helpful. Very satisfied with the 11k skates they recommended I purchase. They even replaced the chasis for free.
The only con is the lack of an old-​school guy who knows everything about hockey… the kind of guy you used to buy your hockey stuff from when small hockey shops still existed. Oh well.
I drive 30 – 40 mins to hockey monkey and it’s well worth it.

Great place! We take my son there for all of his hockey equipment. They are very helpful and friendly. We had Tom help us and he was tremendous! Patient, knowledgeable, and looked after your best interests instead of just trying to sell you!
Don’t hesitate, they are great with good prices and selection!

Pros: Great selection, very good prices, low pressure staff, knowledgeable if looking for begginer equipment or strictly shopping for the best deal.
Cons: Worst skate sharpening ever! Bought brand new skates and was miserable on them the first day out. Took them to a proper store for a sharpening and they’ve been amazing ever since. All the employees are kids and while they’re enthusiastic, they’re also likely earning minimum wage for their minimum experience.
If you want to get into hockey this is a great place to start, or if all you care about is price then this is your place.
If you want real knowledge, real fittings and absolutely real sharpening skill, then an established local hockey store is always the better way to go.
