Sportchek has a promotion for 5 free skate sharpenings with the purchase of $100 or more of hockey equipment. Promotion runs until September 11th. I purchased skates online and they emailed me the coupon for the skate sharpenings. Did multiple orders for my kids and the codes appear to be generic. Posted here for others to print. Looks like everyone will get the same codes.
Tried their free skate sharpening promo a few months ago (Burlington - Dundas/Appleby) and it was horrible.
I had to take them to ProHockey the next day to get re-done.

Stay away.
Exactly this. Every time I have given Sport Chek a chance to redeem themselves for a bad sharpening, they screw my skates up every time. I will never go there again. Thanks anyways OP.

I guess it depends on the store - my local store has a great tech that does a great job.
For my sons skates I use a local shop that does a custom sharpening as he doesn't like his skates too sharp. But for my daughter who just started playing hockey I take them to sport chek as she doesn't seem to be as picky. Also every freaking time she is on her skates she manages to kick something or hit skates with someone and loose an edge. Wish I was kidding but I have to sharpen her skates at least once a week and it gets expensive.
Good replacement for Team Assist sharpens...good for outdoor rink skates and recreational skaters, serious hockey players probably want to pay for a better sharpen....thanks OP!
you've been around long enough to read the full post. I already bought $100 so everyone else doesn't have to. I posted the coupons for everyone else to print without having to purchase. It's people like you that stop people like me from posting.

OP, fix your title. It is totally misleading. WITH $100 PURCHASE OF HOCKEY EQUIPMENT.
Been around since 2011, eh? You should know better.
The techs at stores like Sport Chek are hit or miss. Some really know what they are doing, and some really don't. Be sure to inspect your skates before you walk out of the store. Don't just assume they are good to go.

i got a free sharpening with the skate i purchased from sportchek but didn't use it because i wasn't going to take a chance with some kid who just learned to sharpen skates. Instead, I took it to Just Hockey.
Cuz poster realized how silly of a post it was after posting it.
On another note, how would people recommend I check my skates after sharpening to ensure it was a "good sharpen"? I play goalie and I can't tell until I get on the ice. As an extra, any goalies have any recommendations on how I find my sharpening preference? I know close to nill about sharpening
