Hello 2K,
I run a sharpening/service business is called Golden Gate Sharpening. I would like to offer my work to 2K members, either through the mail or in person in Northern California. I'd be glad to assist you in any way possible. I have invested a lot of money and many years of work into my shop and would love to provide my services to the hockey community. Email me - goldengatehockey@gmail.com or (text only) my work number - (530) 830-2159 to get the ball rolling.
Just a reminder though: My shop is a service shop, not a retail shop. I don't sell any hockey equipment (retail or pro stock) and or carry any inventory. I do not sell or stock any new equipment, holders, steel, tongues, wheels, bearings, or parts. I only provide the services and installations. I do have size 6-9 Koho roller hockey chassis and as some smaller items like tape, but otherwise do not carry parts. However, I can order steel or holders from Ice Warehouse or Hockey Monkey free of charge as part of the service I am providing. Ex. If you are swapping to Marsblades, I will order the Marsblades directly to my shop, then install them as soon as they are received.
I can do the following jobs. Shipping/return shipping not included.
-Basic sharpening (Blademaster ROH and Blackstone FBV 100/50, 100/75, 95/75, 95/1) - $20 per pair, does not include return shipping. I recommend sending multiple pairs at once for the best value.
-Height-matching (matching the same shape and height on both runners) - $30 per pair including sharpening.
-Profiling on SSM Profil machine (7', 9', 10', 11', 13', 9/10', 26' and 28' goalie, copy of your current profile, more templates will be added over time) - $50 per pair, includes height-match and sharpening.

-Mounting of ice holders, Marsblades, Sprungs, or standard roller chassis - $50 per pair.
-Basic sewing repairs, including elbow/shin pad straps and glove patches - $15 per strap or patch, gloved/pad sanitization included.

-Shot blockers - $30 per side
-Anything else - contact me for a quote or info. If I can't do it, I may know someone that can.
-I can't repalm yet. I am not going to work on anyone else's gloves until I am confident enough to do it properly.
In addition, I am an experienced visual and graphic designer I can do the following:
-Design your beer league team's jerseys, socks, helmet decals, apparel, bags, soakers, etc, then have them printed by Jerzeys FX, an amazing company. I use Stick Bandits (another fantastic company) for decals.
-Design custom gloves with a logo (created by myself or someone else) and have them created by Eagle, Warrior, or Fischer).
-Run and design your team's social media, including thumbnails, gameday posts, final score posts, updates, game pictures, etc.
-Design your team or company website. I can do something simple/easy to digest like mine or something more intricate.
