Gear Up for the Season: Why Custom Hockey Equipment is the Game-Changer You Need
Published on  Updated on  

With hockey season just around the corner, there’s no better time to upgrade your gear—and if you’re serious about performance, custom is the only way to go. At United Sport & Cycle, we have the in-store experts, the latest technologies and demo areas that let you try your gear before you buy.

Why Go Custom?

Custom gear isn’t just about style—it’s about fit, performance, and injury prevention. Here's what sets custom gear apart:

  • Tailored Fit: Built to your body and playing style, reducing pressure points and discomfort and improves support and stability

  • Enhanced Performance: Improved energy transfer and responsiveness = faster, stronger play

  • Injury Prevention: Proper support helps minimize strain and supports foot/ankle health

  • Faster Break-In Time: Feels “just right” from day one

  • Personalization: Choose your colors, finishes, and even add your name or number


Skates That Feel Like They Were Made for You (Because They Were)

At United, you can choose your favourite pair of skates from Bauer, CCM, or TRUE and elevate them through customizations. Come in store and try on skates and once you have found your fit, our experts use our industry leading technology to scan your feet. 

Every new custom skate purchase includes a FREE sharpening and heat molding, so you’re ready to hit the ice in peak condition.

The buzz is real—Bauer Flylite skates have landed! Come in to try on the latest Flylite Player skates, and experience the next evolution in performance and comfort. Together with the Bauer FitLab our experts will get you into your dream skates.
