The NHL Shop Sucks.

This was supposed to be a detailed review, but to be one hundred percent honest with you, there isn;t enough for me to review it in detail.

Recently, two of the three members took a trip to New York. The third member decided not to come but asked if I could pick him up a selection of Ducks merchandise from the store, to which I agreed on, believing that they would have a fantastic range of gear for all teams.

However, it was very different from what I expected.

Firstly the shop was small, and empty. It was empty all three times that we visited.

Secondly, the stock selection was weak. Now they did have a jersey from every team, however the prices were not as low as other stores selling jerseys, even the other sports stores in the city.
They had a large rack of T-Shirts. I managed to buy a Stars one myself, but as for the Anaheim Ducks, Nothing. Considering they have a large fanbase, that was a surprise. Several other teams were missing, including Columbus, Edmonton, Nashville and Florida.
They did have other items, and I dfid manage to buy some other Ducks related gear, hats for example.

However, once again they failed in many of the other product ranges, such as pennants (they sold Boston, NYR, Islanders and Toronto).

There wasn’t even that much Detroit gear, even though they had won, and the selection of original six team gear wasn’t the best either.

On a plus, the staff seemed clued up about Hockey, so at least they provided some conversation when i did purchase a few Stars items.

Overal though the shop was a huge dissapointement, and in comparison to the NFL store I visited over in San Francisco last year, very weak.
