What this place is
The pro shop inside Glacier Ice Arena in Vernon Hills, also selling online as 670 Sports.
Glacier Ice Arena Pro Shop
The pro shop at Glacier Ice Arena in Vernon Hills is run by a former British senior national champion who skated at the European and World Championships and the Olympics and has coached for nearly forty years. That background shows in the shop’s range: it looks after figure skaters as much as the hockey players who fill the rink’s Ice Dogs travel and house teams.
Hockey skates go on a Sparx machine or are done by hand, and figure blades are sharpened by hand. Fittings and alignment checks can be booked up to a month ahead, outside the counter’s public hours, which suits a skater preparing for a test or a new pair.
The shop also trades online as 670 Sports, named after the arena’s address, with orders picked up at the rink. Fred’s Pro Shop is across the road, and Centennial Ice Arena in Highland Park is about six miles east.
