ERIC NEILSON’S SKATE TECH / FREDERICTON
Hockey brought them together. Looking after your skates keeps them busy.
THE PRO / LOCAL ROOTS
From Fredericton’s minor hockey rinks to the professional game—and back home.
Eric’s career took him through the QMJHL, ECHL, AHL and EIHL. Drafted by the Los Angeles Kings, he went on to win the Calder Cup in 2011–12.
He brings that experience to Skate Tech, helping local players feel confident in the equipment they take onto the ice.
