About Fred's Pro Shop
Fred's Pro Shop is a local hockey shop known for its expert, personalized service. The staff, particularly Fred, is consistently described as extremely helpful, professional, and accommodating. They take significant time to discuss customer needs, provide accurate fittings, and solve specific skate problems that other larger stores cannot. The service is not about making a quick sale but ensuring the correct product and fit, often for both new and experienced players. They offer skate sharpening at a very inexpensive rate with accurate timing and ready assistance even when busy. The shop is a dedicated hockey location focused on expertise over browsing, with a reputation for fair pricing. Customers highly recommend it for all hockey needs, emphasizing that the knowledgeable, hands-on service is tough to beat and worth seeking out. The business is temporarily closed for relocation to a new address in Vernon Hills, Illinois, with reopening scheduled for early June.

Great local hockey shop. Super friendly staff and they are the best sharpeners around! They are one of the few places in Chicagoland that still sharpen by hand. Worth any drive!!

Fred was EXTREMELY helpful with fitting questions on Bauer skates that I didn't even buy there. He spent over an hour with me and then re-baked the skates and the fit has been improved drastically. Highly recommend this shop and Fred specifically.

Best sharpening around. I drive 40 minutes just to get the 5/8ths cut
