Rays Hockey has always been a great resource, but they really went above and beyond this week. As…read moreLucas was heading to the ice on Thursday, we discovered that his mask was missing two screws holding the cage in place. Needless to say, panic set in! I walked over to the store and Nate without hesitation jumped in to help. He found replacement screws, got everything tightened up, and had Lucas safely ready to play. His kindness and willingness to help saved the day. Customer service like that is hard to find. Huge thanks to Nate and the entire team at Rays Hockey for always taking care of the hockey community. Highly recommend!

I've been going to Pure Hockey over the years to upgrade my gear as I get older and slower - any…read moreedge I can get - I take :-) And the crew at Braintree just keeps getting better and better - primarily younger guys that skate themselves, and know the game. It's really a pleasure to talk to these guys and learn about all the technological advances in equipment - it's fascinating how much science has come to the game over the last few decades! I started out in the early 70's playing goalie in all leather Cooper equipment - I grew up gettin beat up in warmups trying to stop Rod Langway and Joey Carlevale shots - and had the welts and bruises to show for it - but no more - the equipment today is soooooo damn good - night and day! So, if you're looking for the best equipment, and staff that knows what works and what doesn't for your level of play, I can't recommend this place enough. You could probably get stuff a bit cheaper on line, but you can't try it on and compare different makes and manufacturers - how the hell do you know if it fits right unless you try it on? Huge inventory here - especially in goalie gear :-) I don't write a lot of reviews as a rule, and I'm not related to anyone at Pure Hockey - I just wanted to give them a shout out, cause they honestly deserve it - GREAT place to shop for hockey gear! :-)

Thanks to the Hurricane Debby, we ended up staying at the Best Western hotel in Braintree. We were…read morequite upset being in such a rural area, especially after staying at the Westin Hotel in Back Bay for a week. We then found out that there was a Pure Hockey store right next to the hotel. As a hockey fan myself and my son as a hockey player as well as a hockey referee, we of course got to visit this store. We already visited both Pure Hockey stores in Washington, so we would love to see a Pure Hockey store in Massachusetts. The exterior of the store made us once question if it was actually a store. From the exterior, it looked more like a warehouse. We saw people with kids walking out of the store, so we entered to check out the store. The store was huge, compared with the size of Washington stores. When we were there, we saw many good deals. They had a very complete selection of hockey gear. The staff were very friendly and offered us help. Because we would be flying back to Seattle soon, we couldn't buy everything we wanted. We only purchased some small items such as sweatshirts and pucks. Maybe next time if my son is coming to Boston for college, we would be coming here to update his hockey gear.

Friendly people (Greg!) offering useful advice to get your kid into a proper pair of skates for the activity she is doing at the level she is doing it. Taking time to make sure the skates fit. Making adjustments. AND, putting your kid in the right skates regardless of the profit. Greg sold us a pair of used skates. I'm sure he made less than if he sold us new ones, but these were perfect for my daughter and her skating situation. Now he has what I'm sure is another in a long line of lifetime customers. If you shop anywhere else for skates, you've missed out.

They carry hockey, lacrosse and baseball items only and it's wonderful for my son, except I left spending over $600. Bella was great at helping us but I had to go to the register to let her know we needed help in the ice skate section. She radioed for someone to go help us but no one responded so she ended up helping us and checking us out. We were pleasantly greeted when we walked it but it appeared as if no wanted to really work. They have ample equipment and a skate sharpening area. Everything is neatly organized by sport, making it easy to navigate and shop. I would return because they have things we need but they've gotta work on their service. There's ample parking.

They take such pride and ownership into their customer service that it is as though that are family and they built the building themself, brick by brick. Pride in their work is an understatement. There is no question or need they can't help with. A true family feel, this store is a hidden gem!
