Job Description

Job Posting - Part-Time Sales Associate - Belleville LOCATION: 365 Maitland Dr, Belleville ON

WHO WE ARE - At our core, we are driven by a simple mission: to offer top-notch products at unbeatable prices. Recognizing the fundamental importance of choice in hockey gear, we take immense pride in being a family-run business that offers one of the most extensive selections of sticks, gear, and accessories worldwide, catering to various price points.

We achieve this by sourcing products directly from professional teams and the manufacturers. Our unwavering focus is on delivering the best 'bang for your buck', as evidenced by our Pro Stock and Pro Blackout lineups, industry closeouts, and even used and refurbished gear. Lots of products we bring in are hard to find and manage, but instead of shying away, we go 'diggin in the corners'. Just like in hockey, we think there's a place for grinders in the equipment industry.

By prioritizing the needs and desires of hockey families, this father and sons team which began by fixing broken sticks in the basement, has grown to include many other likeminded hockey people and garnered tremendous support from the hockey community. We remain rooted in our humble beginnings, and relentless in our commitment to making hockey accessible to all, regardless of financial means.

WHO YOU ARE - You are an energetic, highly motivated individual who recognizes this as an opportunity to work in the hockey industry. You grew up playing hockey and are experienced with, and interested in hockey equipment. You take pride in your work and the potential to make a real difference with a small business. You are a friendly, outgoing person who likes to work with people, while also maintaining a high attention to detail and organizational skills.

THE ROLE - You will be one of the faces of the HockeyStickMan Warehouse store. Reporting to the Sales Manager and Ast. Manager, you will be an on-floor lead, overseeing the overall look and feel of the store and the associated customer experience. In addition to assisting customers on site and ensuring the store is looking its best (ie stocking/facing), you will assist with routine equipment maintenance & repairs (ie sharpening/profiling) and customer service (ie phone calls/emails). Your passion for hockey equipment will make you a valuable member of our in-store sales team, contributing to a best-in-class shopping experience. You will spend much of your day on your feet. We are a small business and rely on everyone stepping up in different areas when necessary.

Our priority is to hire someone to work our busiest store hours, with evenings and weekends being most essential. Our hiring process includes a 3-month probationary contract, after which we will review the fit for both parties and ideally move forward with a long term commitment.
