What this place is
Gunzo’s largest store, a hockey shop on Dempster Street in Morton Grove serving the northern suburbs.
Gunzo’s Hockey Headquarters Morton Grove
Gunzo’s Morton Grove store is the largest of the three, in a curved corner building where Dempster Street meets Birch Street, and inside the floor is painted like a rink. It serves the hockey towns of the northern suburbs: IceLand in Niles and the Skatium in Skokie are each about two miles away, and American Heartland Ice Arena in Lincolnwood is three.
Sharpening works on a walk-in basis, so most players simply bring their skates in and wait. The shop’s sharpening page is a good primer for new hockey families: it explains why new skates come dull, how a deeper hollow trades speed for grip, and the fingernail test for a worn edge.
Gunzo’s is a hockey shop first, and its own page sends figure skaters to a figure specialist. For a big skate purchase on a weekend, come early in the day, when the fitting area is quieter.
