Super-Glide SLICK synthetic ice is perfect for public skating, hockey training, figure skating, portable commercial facilities. Assembles in minutes, no maintenance, great income.
Hockey training rinks are opening at a pace never seen before as players training on SLICK are far superior to those only training on ice. Players get an overwhelming advantage in speed, strength, and overall skating knowledge.
The blade does not dig as deep as on ice, so skaters need to have more correct, precise positions then with ice making them better. When returning to ice an increase in speed is noticed immediately. Fundamentals are more understood and improved by players letting them reach levels never thought possible.
The revolutionary Patented System (Patent No. 8,129,005) developed by GSI eliminates expansion and contraction problems and along with the smooth glide quality earned Super-Glide the “Better than Ice” reputation.
Independent studies conducted in Canada on the longevity of Super-Glide show life expectancy in a range of up to 20-30 years. Many of our first Super-Glide synthetic ice rinks installed almost two decades ago are still operating with many more years of usable service ahead.
