This was truthfully one of the greatest in-store experiences I’ve ever had. If you ever need anything related to hockey goalie equipment please go see Ryan. He was so helpful, unbelievably kind, and genuinely cares about you as a customer. As a beginner goalie, he answered all of my questions, sized me perfectly, and took his time to make sure I was happy. I receive amazing customer service and had the biggest smile on my face because Ryan got me so excited about becoming a goalie. Would recommend going to the store just to see him.

My boyfriend and I went in looking for skates (we’re complete amateurs, just looking to ice skate really) and Ryan was absolutely incredible! He helped us find the right size, skate, and gave us all the info we needed about caring for them. He made our visit so enjoyable. Thank you Ryan!!

Absolutely love this store! My husband plays hockey and goes here often for new gear. We recently got our 7 year old daughter into hockey and bought her her first skates at “play it again sports” and decided to head over to hockey monkey late Saturday night, 10 minutes before they closed, for a bake and skate sharpening. We felt awful as we did not know they closed in 10 minutes and apologized for being “those customers” but asked if they could help us, and if not, it was okay we would understand. All of the staff were upfront waiting to leave and they all said it wasn’t a problem at all and wanted to help us! The bake sesh finished at around 6:05pm, we weren’t expecting to have her skates sharpened as it was already past closing but they told us to head to the back and Bob was waiting for us to sharper her skates! We couldn’t be more grateful from all of the staffs kindness and hospitality. We left around 6:20pm and thanked all of them multiple times for helping us at the last minute. Any other place would’ve probably told us to pound sand (which we were fully expecting to happen since we came last minute) but the staff truly went above and beyond and we can’t thank them enough!

My son and I went to the vendor event on Saturday 2/3. We had a great time. It was an electric atmosphere and all of the vendors will really knowledgeable and friendly. The staff at Monkeysports is top shelf and very helpful. We are hoping they do another event like this one.

I don't normally leave reviews but the staff at MonkeySports in Norwood make the economically painful chore of shopping for hockey and lacrosse equipment enjoyable. Knowledgeable, truthful, helpful, and willing to go the extra mile. You guys are the best!

I ordered a $325 hockey stick online. Everything was confirmed and ready to be picked up in store (Norwood, MA). I contacted store a day later to make sure it was ready. I waited on hold for 15 mins and then found out that the stick was actually not available. I asked what we could do to get it from another store. I was told by rep that I would have to come into store to order it there. No help out all and the original order had to be cancelled. So frustrating because I could have saved time and gone somewhere else, like PURE HOCKEY. I will start there next time. So dissatisfied. Sean

Great store with a friendly staff. Unfortunately, purchased a Warrior girdle for my son and did not realize they were ripped until he tried them on at home. Store did not have another pair and needed them tonight. Wife to the rescue. Only complaint is they were damaged on the shelf for purchase.

I had bought some hockey equipment online. When I came to the store to pick it up there were some issues. The team in Norwood took care of my issues and even made me aware of a sale happening which saved me money. In another situation I went in to get a stick and the team took the time to search their digital inventory to get me a better stick within the budget I was looking for. These folks are the definition of customer service. I will be making the trip to this store for all my equipment needs. It's so convenient because the store is so big, and I can see and try on equipment before buying. That gives me peace of mind.

Our experience at Hockey Monkey in Norwood, Massachusetts, was nothing short of exceptional. We initially purchased a pair of hockey pants for our daughter, only to discover upon returning home that the zipper was unfortunately broken. Living a few hours away, we were concerned about the logistics of resolving the issue, especially with our daughter's state tournament approaching.Enter Joe, the store manager, who went above and beyond in delivering outstanding customer service. Joe not only facilitated the return of the defective pair but also took proactive measures to ensure our daughter had a replacement pair well before her upcoming tournament. His dedication and efficiency in handling the situation left a lasting impression on us.It's rare to encounter such a high level of commitment to customer satisfaction. Joe's professionalism and the store's willingness to swiftly resolve the issue showcase Hockey Monkey in Norwood as a prime example of excellent customer care. We are grateful for the positive experience and would highly recommend this store to others seeking quality products and exceptional service.

We are so lucky to have this store for all of my son’s Hockey Goalie and Lacrosse needs!!! I feel like we are in there every 1-2 weeks. The staff is always helpful, and Debbie in particular who works at the front most of the time, makes you feel like it is a family run store. We needed help recently with getting some particular items ordered for my son, who is a full right youth goalie, and she couldn’t have been nicer and more patient with us. We will always make MonkeySports are preferred destination for all of our hockey and lacrosse needs! Thank you Debbie and team!

Huge store with tons of options for hockey baseball and lacrosse. Staff was helpful and knowledgeable. Went for hockey gear. Only reason 4 stars not 5 was the hockey shooting area to demo sticks was shut down. That area was a differentiating service from competitors. Prices were competitive and sale made it better.

6 months since last review, again walked out this store. Stood at skate sharpening being completely ignored by skate guy. I bit my tongue and then another employee walks in, make eye contact and I start to talk and then proceeds to turn away and talk to skate guy about where demo steel. Worse sports store out thereYep years later you have reaffirmed my reasoning to go to pure hockey instead. Stopped in to purchase a goalie chest pad. Found that and a stick. One employee was helping a customer, mind you the 40 minutes we shopped and tried stuffed on, employees still did not ask to help. As I am waiting in line to check, the employee helping a customer ask the other associate in the picture to help cash people out. He out right says no and walks away. Once again you have proven your service is terrible.I thought service would improve after the put goalie monkey inside monkey sports. It hasn't. It's gotten worse. Wanted to purchase my daughter Brians leg pads. No one wanted to help. They literally walked to the other side of the store to hide. I'll travel the extra 15 minutes up the highway to Pure Hockey for 100 percent better experience everytime.

Needed new goalie chest protector and pants for my son. We went to the Norwood store where Ryan W helped us. He was amazing and spent a lot of time fitting the gear to my son, trying on different gear, and helping us get the best deal. Also answered a bunch of questions for us. Great experience!

My daughter was in need of a new set of goalie gear for the upcoming season and I'm glad we stopped in to see what this store had to offer. They had a great selection of brands and sizes in stock. She has used Warrior for the last 6 seasons, but we ran into durability issues with her last 2 sets of pads. She decided to make the transition to the new Brian's Optik line. The Brian's gear is great, but we were most impressed with our sales associate Ryan. He was a professional, personable, and very knowledgeable young man. Being a goalie himself, his experiences with the different brands were a huge help. The store was also able to bake and relace the goalie glove pocket with skate lace for us to assist in the break-in process. Thanks Ryan!

I had a small mishap with an online order, which is always the case when it’s last minute. When I called the store Joe, the manager, went way above and beyond to get it resolved. He was incredibly patient, and really cared about helping me. He stopped the original order, confirmed the refund, and made sure my re-order was done correctly. I am obviously thankful that I’m getting what I need when I need it, but as grateful for the time and effort Joe made making sure I was all set.

Went to get my skates sharpened by hand they way they should be done. Found out that they just made a corporate decision to only have it done by automated machine now. This is ridiculous, sharpening skates by hand is a skill. This also brings people to the store, which could generate more sales. This is not a smart move by the company. It will hurt there bottom line in more ways then one, and hurts the game of hockey as a whole. Very disappointed

i would rate this place lower, was at the skate sharpening place and i placed my skates down to be next so i’m guessing 5-10 minutes at the most, i go up to the nice lady i mind you that’s probably the only reason that i rate this place a one star. thankfully i got my money back, after waiting for 15 minutes which a job that would take 5 minutes tops. i put my bad review on the skate sharpening not the store itself but also do i mind you that this store is made around hockey.

"Non-Existent service" Visited your store two Sundays ago. Sat in the goalie skate area with two Bauer skate models. Cost was $849 and $899, trying to decide between the two. Sat there for a solid twenty minutes and nobody stopped by. Ended up walking out. Your store is convenient but sadly just for things like white tape and laces. You know, things i can find on my own.

I went to Monkey Sports today with a baseball glove emergency and Brandon restrung it for my son on the spot. We were so grateful! While I waited, I picked up a few other items we needed so it was well worth the trip. Highly recommend. We will be back to this store!

I came into the store at the Norwood Mass location having a mask that has taken years of hard shots. I have multiple dents and bought cages online, trying to replace it myself. After having multiple days without success I brought it to pure hockey and they offered zero help. I came in today thinking I was out of luck, and would have to buy a whole new mask. Ryan, one of the goalie associates with no hesitation, quickly helped me take off the old cage and securely attach a new one. Being able to take time out of his day, selflessly helping a customer (without charge) is everything a customer could ask for. Thank you again Ryan.

My glove had a hole in it on a Saturday morning, and I thought I was going to have to buy a hole new glove, but Ryan took a look at it and said he could fix it. In a couple hours I had my glove repaired like new. If your a goalie ask for Ryan he's wicked nice and knows his stuff.

I remember when MonkeySports was the place to be, when they had the Goalie section in the next building, expertise on all equipment, fitting and performance.Sadly, it is not even close to it and I wouldn't even consider it a Superstore. Low stock, rarely any selection, especially the high end level, lack of knowledge and customer service.Play It Again Sports had more items that we were looking for than MonkeySports. We were looking into goalie equipment and all they had were beginner and some intermediate level products. No selection in sizes, they had small and no medium. They had Large and no small.Online is inconvenient as they connected. If you buy something online, you can't return it in the store. Pure Hockey is no different. It's sad to see such a large store that I admire years ago fall to a department store level.

Wide selection of products for hockey and lacrosse. Only gripe found was sharpening hockey skates. You get a free sharpening with purchase of skates but you’re better off going elsewhere to sharpen them. First sharpen had no edge at all and useless on the ice. Not a pro shop when it comes to that aspect. Hopefully they get someone who cares about their job.

Awesome experience. Brandon was an expert at helping pick baseball gloves and a new little league bat. He spent a ton of time with my 9yo son selecting the right equipment and coaching him up on his batting and fielding form. He even broke in our gloves. Exceptional.

We had an awesome first experience today! Had to get gear for my daughter as well as my 3 year old son. Matty was amazing and not only did he bring us to the areas we needed to be, but sized my son and provided recommendations on equipment. He was friendly, helpful and super patient with our very excited 3 year old. We will only do our hockey and lacrosse shopping here!

Great experience with Joe and the staff at monkey sports superstore. We are from out of state but stop here every time we pass through. Last visit they fixed a skate, did a great job sharpening and helped us find shin pads for a picky teenager. This visit they found a very creative way to work within a strict return policy to get us what we needed, even calling another store to have an item shipped to us for free. Well stocked and well staffed. Highly recommend.

Took my son shopping for hockey gear and had such a fun, positive experience! One of the associates Jake helped us pick hockey equipment for an hour and was so knowledgeable that it made us feel confident in the products we were buying. He even went over and beyond to help put the shield on my sons hockey helmet. Will definitely come back to Monkey Sports.

There are different versions that can be done where the customer is either standing or sitting and the scanner is either moved around their feet or captured while standing in the scanner itself. Customers can also get these foot scans done to figure out which custom skate would work best for their individual needs to make sure when they are on the ice, they are skating to their best potential.
