Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our hockey gear and services

How do I determine the correct hockey stick flex?

As a general rule, choose a flex that is approximately half your body weight. However, personal preference and playing style also play significant roles.

Do you offer skate sharpening services?

Yes, we offer professional precision sharpening at our physical locations. For online orders, skates are shipped with a factory edge and may require sharpening before use.

Can I bake my skates at home?

While possible, we recommend having skates heat-molded by a professional using a dedicated skate oven to avoid damaging the materials or voiding the warranty.

What is the difference between Senior, Intermediate, and Junior equipment?

These categories refer to the size and scale of the gear based on height, weight, and hand/foot size rather than just age.

Are your jerseys officially licensed?

Absolutely. All USA Hockey apparel and NHL jerseys sold at USA Hockey Shop are 100% officially licensed merchandise.

Do you offer team discounts for bulk orders?

Yes, we provide special pricing for team sets, including jerseys, shells, and gloves. Please contact our sales team for a custom quote.
