New youth backpack from our friends over at #bauerhockey. This year's colors let everyone know you support our favorite pro team, located about 70 miles NE of here. Stop in this weekend to check them out. Mention this post and Steve might tell you the joke of the day! #piaskato

Howies new Apex Grip is in stock in four different colors. It's softer and more comfortable than traditional hockey tape, and easier on your gloves. Pop in soon and check them out for the upcoming season! #piaskato #playitagainsportsmankato #StickWithTheBest

It's a hockey glove lunch box! #piaskato #playitagainsportsmankato

🚨... 🆕🎩 #piaskato #playitagainsportsmankato

Come join us for the "Back to Hockey" event at #piaskato this weekend and next, Sept. 20 & 21, and Sept. 27 & 28! -Nickelback and Thunderstruck ALL. DAY. LONG.* -Select hockey items on sale including sticks, skates, protective, and apparel *as long as Steve can stand it

Best of luck to all the area hockey players who are beginning their seasons in the next few weeks. If you need those skates sharpened, a missing screw replaced in your helmet, or you've outgrown all of your gear, we're here for you! #piaskato

The Back to Hockey sale continues this weekend, Sat. & Sun. Sept. 27 & 28. Select items from your favorite brands, including sticks, skates, and apparel on sale! If we had lasers, they'd be on. (We don't, so we have this sharp neon graphic instead). Come see us this weekend!

If you have a little one starting learn to skate in Mankato this week, stop by and grab a free (old) jersey to get you by until the new ones arrive. #piaskato

For those of you who haven’t heard yet, the Mankato Mite reversible jerseys (boys and girls), and the home and away socks for the travel kids have both arrived and are available in the shop. #piaskato

From youth to senior, we got you, boo. #piaskato #playitagainsportsmankato

Happy Halloween, 🎃 everyone! Dave “borrowed” the store card and bought the biggest bag of candy he could find, so come see us this weekend and help us eat it all. #piaskato

Admin's having a bit of a creative block these days. We're blaming it on the earlier sunsets. Anyway, here's an artsy picture of a kajillion neck guard shirts! We have sizes Youth Small to Adult XL in three different brands. Always good to have options. #piaskato

We get to joke around on here plenty, and rarely does work actually feel like work. We have an awesome job, and it’s possible because brave men and women sacrificed so much so we can help people “play.” From the entire staff at #piaskato, Happy Veterans Day to all who served.

The sheer amount of product research that’s done behind the scenes here at the shop is staggering. It’s Zach’s least favorite thing. Like, he’d rather go to the dentist. But he perseveres, for the good of the shop. #piaskato

We will be closed on Thursday, Nov. 27th so our crew can spend time with friends and family. We'll reopen Friday at 10am and pretend we didn't eat four pounds of ham and an ice cream pail full of mashed potatoes. Please excuse us for moving slowly. #piaskato #happythanksgiving

Hi campers! More snow in the forecast means it's a good time for a gentle reminder that we aren't just a hockey shop. We have skis, snowboards, boots, snowshoes, helmets, goggles... everything you need except for the long johns! Stop in this weekend and check out our selection!

"Black Friday" is for the big kids. Ma Nature dropped 7" of snow and hosed us out of "Small Business Saturday." "Cyber Monday" is for smart people who know how to internet (clearly not us). Welcome to "Black December." Deals throughout the store that will last until they're gone!

Play It Again Sports, Mankato Holiday hours: Christmas Eve: 10am-3pm Christmas Day: Closed New Year’s Eve: 10am-5pm New Year’s Day: Closed #piaskato #happyholidays

To those of you who celebrate, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Steve, Andy, Dave, and the entire Play It Again Sports Mankato crew! #piaskato #merrychristmas #happyholidays

We’re a hockey shop. This is Minnesota. The State Of Hockey. We can’t see Slim Chickens, but we’re open anyway. We’re actually going to close early at 3 today so Lando and JZ can get home while it’s light out. Drive safe out there folks. Sorry for the inconvenience. #piaskato
