It's all about the staff at this store. They are friendly, knowledgeable and fair. Needed to regear my kiddo for skating season and they were fantastic. Offering up used or new options and walkingbua through pros and cons of different models. Very helpful and easy going, with stock that seems to turn over very very fast ( and 3 times in days looking for items and there were new options available on each visit!) A bit hidden off the main street but worth the drive Highly recommend checking them out for kiddo gear as they grow out of sizes at. a rapid rate! read more

Great service at this place! Wow, just talk loud enough to be heard over the din of over-dressed people sweating it out finding the best of a specific size skate or length of snowboard or ski. This should be your first stop if you would like to experiment with any kind of sport since the staff is knowledgeable and used to dealing with first timers. Silly questions won't bother them, they are accustomed to it. Prices are very reasonable and they take trade-ins of your old gear. At least they will take their used gear back the next day or the next season if you want to trade up or get a different size. Then you will only pay the difference and help support the store with renewed stock, a very cool idea! So there you go - no excuses when someone says, 'Let's go skating!' read more

Came to post that not all negative reviews are warranted. This is not Sporting Life or Sport Check, which at times share many of these complaints, but where you pay major money for products. PIAS sells some new equipment and a lot used - it's exactly what it's for, getting a bargain if you're not a pro. With that in mind, the store does just fine, and as you can imagine during busy start of season it does get hectic. I just traded my young son's hockey shoulder pads for next size up. Total cost? $9. Hard to beat that. read more

I don't find myself buying sports equipment very often, but I will admit I was impressed when I stopped in here. The store seemed well stocked with not only used equipment but what looked like some new stuff as well (even decent skateboard selection for the prices). Play It Again Sports has always served a nice purpose of getting discounted sports equipment, which is especially convenient when you just need something for recreational purposes and you don't want to invest much into it. For example, I only came for a single golf club for a work event, but it was successful in providing what I need and saved me about $20-$30 versus what I would've paid for an entry level new one. Given this is the closest one to downtown Toronto (the next closest is North of the 401 on Yonge St), it's still a bit of a trek, but the service was helpful and there is free parking on site, so 4 stars it is! read more

Great place for second hand sports equipment and deals on new stuff from last season. I've gotten kids skates here, had my own sharpened and baked, and they've been friendly, knowledgeable and not tried (too hard) to upsell me. I'll definitely use them again and recommend them to others. read more

There are a few Play it Again Sports stores around town, but I'm surprised there aren't more. If you're an amateur on a budget and you'd like to get a deal on some serviceable (though used) equipment and don't care about brand, it's a good option. I was here recently to pick up some tennis racquets. The staff were helpful without hovering, which is the balance I'm always hoping for in any retail experience. The pickings for adult racquets happened to be slim (I needed two and they had exactly that), but it makes sense that they would have more used junior sizes, since that's the sort of thing kids grow out of. read more

You know that feeling when you walk in a store and immediately wished you did anything but...? Sunday August 28th around 4:30 the store was a disaster, aisles you couldn't pass through (hockey stuff tossed everywhere). The weight section (reason I was there), a complete unorganized disaster and extremely overpriced. How this place remains I have no clue, it's horrible on all levels. 2 lazy employees hanging out, watching baseball; zero interest in anything work related. AWFUL STORE. read more

I have been using services of this store for years now, skating, snowboarding and skiing equipment. I have nothing bad to say. Fair prices, good service. I am thankful for such a store to exist, having kids who need new equipment almost every year would hit my wallet pretty hard, if not for these guys. Thanks, PIAS! read more

By far the worst costumer service I have yet to experience at a store. It took at least ten minutes to even figure out who was working there as all of the sales clerks were wearing you're typical pullover sweater and pants outfit, which made them blend in with the other patrons. Then, when I finally was able to decipher who worked there, I asked the sales associate what I needed, which were a pair of skates. He then proceeds to direct me to a pair of hockey skates, without asking any questions about what kind of skates I wanted, hands them to me to try on and then disappears, never to be seen again. After trying them on and determining that they were not the skates I wanted, I was already quite irritated and left shortly after. It's great to have a store that is more affordable than your main stream sports outlets but the costumer service I experienced made it so I would never set foot in that store again. read more

I have been going to this location for years (approaching 15). Have bought hockey, tennis, soccer, roller blades, skate sharpening, etc. They give you a fair deal on trade-in, prices are reasonable. The staff is very knowledgeable and not pushy. They treat me well, I treat them well! read more
