Our Story
About Ice Lab
Ice Lab Pro Shop has been serving the skating community for over 20 years.
Ice Lab Pro Shop started as Howard Fink's vision of what a real skating pro shop should be, not a shelf full of gear, but a place where skaters actually get taken care of. For two decades, that reputation held. Hockey families, figure skaters, beginners and competitors all came through the same doors at Palm Beach Skate Zone and left with exactly what they needed.
In 2024, Chris and Kristen Cinalli took over with one goal: keep what made Ice Lab great and build on it. Chris runs the day to day operations with a genuine love of the game. Kristen handles the business side with the kind of attention to detail that makes the difference between a good experience and a great one. His son Max plays Ice hockey and his daughter Avery figure skates, so the whole family lives this world.
The crew is what sets Ice Lab apart. Tori has been with the shop for 14 years, Andrew for 11 and Erin going on 5. Between them they've sharpened more blades than most shops will see in a lifetime. They know the regulars by name, remember what hollow you skate on and will tell you straight if the gear you're looking at isn't the right fit.
The shop carries Bauer, CCM, Warrior, Jackson, Edea and more. We sharpen hockey and figure skates with precision, fit boots the right way and stock the gear our customers actually use. We're in the rink surrounded by skaters every day. That's not something you get from a website.
