Hockey Life speaks for itself, this store is Larger than any sports store I have been in. Gracing…read morethe outside as well as inside is a huge picture of our own "Sid The Kid" Sydney Crosby. Hockey life was established in Montreal in 1973 and now carries the crown for the largest retail hockey store with a total of 23 in Canada. Yes this is a box store but it is Canadian. The store has large flat screen TV's throughout it to make your experience that much better while shopping. I can not imagine there is anything else needed. This store carries it all from, sticks, skates, bags , safety equipment, memorabilia, clothing, the list goes on. I eyed a few things I think would be great for gifts. Now, I will be honest, when the word Hockey is said, I think Money, sports are very expensive to take part in, that is nothing new. So do not complain on prices. It is what it is. I felt the prices were reasonable here. There was a hockey bag for about $45.00. However, I am not a professional shopper of hockey gear, so keep that in mind if you go in. This is a great store and a welcomed edition to the city for sure. We are a huge hockey town here, so I think this place will do well. The staff here were young and friendly, I think it would be a great place to work.

Before I start this review let me make one thing clear: I love SportChek. The company as a whole…read morehas done a lot in reaching out to Canadian Fitness Bloggers in changing their image from a "Hockey Supply" Store to a "Get Up, Get Moving and Do Epic Sh*t" store. That being said, I have my location preferences. I usually go to the larger store at the Halifax Shopping Center but this one is pretty good on a much smaller scale. It's easier to find something in particular but the selection being offered might be less than at the bigger store. Every time I've gone in there, I left with a purchase. That's saying something people. Everything from swim goggles to kettlebells to running gels... Customer service has always been really good. Never felt like I'm putting someone out when I ask for help. Some days I don't want to feel like I'm swimming in a sea of fitness equipment and wandering the larger store in Halifax. Some days I just want to get in and get out so I can get moving and the smaller location has always come through for me.

It feels a little weird to write a review for a place that for the longest time both intimidated me…read moreand didn't have an item that would either a) fit me or b) be something I would know what to do with it. But times have changed. I'm not longer a wall flower non-athlete and now that I'm 100lbs down and I know more about how to move my body and the value of a good workout I need to find the gear to keep me in action. Sport Chek has a lot to offer. Over the last year I've had the opportunity to shop at the Dartmouth Crossing location a few times. Including on the intimidating hunt for a more athletic swim suit and a sports bra (GASP!) and you know what? They didn't let me down. The service was outstanding, I got help the minute I walked in the door to point me in the right direction for the swimming gear, someone was available to let me into the dressing room without hovering too much and I found what I needed and got checked out with a smile. The Dartmouth Crossing location isn't as large as the Halifax Shopping Centre, but they do have what you need and lots to explore. I even got a 20lb kettlebell here last fall to add to our at home gym goodness. If you need new workout gear, equipment, running shoes, something to keep you moving, chances are SportChek has it and you go home happy.

I stuck to the main floor with the clothes, though they do have a second floor with bigger items like tents. I love the set up of the store, though it doesn't seem very friendly for folks who aren't able-bodied with the stairs right at the front entrance. Not super great. The product selection is pretty good, with tons of backpacks and water bottles greeting you as you walk up the stairs to the main floor. The clothing is split between men and women and they seemed to have some pretty decent sales going on. Not going to lie though, I was drawn to the huge selection of socks. A bit weird? Maybe. But there's something so wonderful about a great pair of socks, y'know? Anyway, the Trail Shop is a great independently owned sporting good stores, and if you're in the area I highly recommend checking it out. The staff are friendly and happy to help if you have questions, or to leave you alone if you just want to look around.

Now this is a great product that will stand the test of time. Coats and shells, gloves,hats and even pants that are all designed for the weather. Now is this store pricy? It will cost a few extra bucks but if you think about it over the time that you will maintain the product it is worth it.
