text: Having played hockey and had a son who played I was more then interested when Behind the Mask opened in this strip mallnnSince we left Chicago I have found myself shopping in various hockey stores and always left feeling that they did not measure up to what we were use to in the Midwest But no more nnBehind the Mask is a genuine honest to goodness Hockey store I could not tell you what the square footage is but they have everything Including a small hockey rink where you can have your picture taken Nice nnAs for the prices they seem very reasonable For instance they carry goalie pads from Mite to Pee Wee for to or more which seems very reasonable from what I was use to pay nnElbow and shoulder pads chest protectors both skater and goalie reinforced pants again goalie and skater all sorts of skates sticks etc But for me I was just surprised by their large selection which was outstanding It helps to have ceilings They also have NHL jerseys so if you want that one of Shane Doan come herennMaybe Hockey has a future here in the Valley of the SunnnWOW
