“Thank you so much for the wonderful service I receive “each and every” time I visit your store. It is fabulous to have a retail establishment such as Sports Connection right here in Medicine Hat that services their customers so genuinely! The quality and knowledge of product and service is second to none. The ability to “custom order” is appreciated and not common for many companies out there. You and your staff go “out of the way” to accommodate requests and provide updates with the ever changing market. I highly recommend your skate sharpening to any inquiring athlete. This is such an important aspect for any hockey or ringette player; giving them the confidence that their equipment is in good hands. I KNOW mine is!!”
