Global Synthetic Ice presents the first Super-Glide synthetic #icehockey rink with full regulation markings!
North America's first NHL-sized synthetic hockey surface - built from plastic instead of ice - has opened in the northern Alberta hamlet of Fort Chipewyan.
The rink will mean big savings on operational costs in the long term and will also have a smaller environmental impact. According to The New York Times, a refrigeration unit for a regular #icerink can cost up to $2 million, but additional maintenance costs can be about $300,000 a year.
Super-Glide SLICK #syntheticice is perfect for public #skating, #hockeytraining, #figureskating, portable commercial #icerinks. 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 notice 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 Global Synthetic Ice 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 longevity of Super-Glide show life expectancy in a range of 20-30 years. Many of our first Super-Glide synthetic ice-skating rinks installed almost two decades ago are still operating with many more years of usable service ahead.
In track athletes will run on a road with a 10 percent incline to become faster. If this synthetic material requires a 10 to 15 percent greater effort in practice then a game on ice will literally make you faster whether you want it to or not.
no it wont. just like roller skating will not better your ice skating. at the moment, there is simply no substitue for ice..., i mean not even close.
Synthetic ices are different. It's also very hard to measure percentage of the effort which depends on many factors e.g. the quality of ice, skate blades, skater weight, etc.
Yes, practicing on synthetic ice significantly improves the skating technique and speed on real ice.
Depends on the product. Super-Glide never gets chopped up like ice it is smoother then second period ice, always. (blades only go hair thin deep into the surface) Staying on top of the surface makes the skater understand edges more. You have to push harder, that is why so many teams train on it, they become stronger, faster and better skaters, like swimming against the current.
We have high level goalie training on Super-Glide since 2004 and increasing the number of goalie training facilities ever since especially in Canada. This is a great benefit for goalies, being able to extend their training sessions without the cost of ice. The pads slide as close to ice as you can get.
This is pretty cool I didn't even know there was such thing as synthetic ice. I'm impressed it works as well as it does
As the skater in the video, I was going as fast as I can and do on ice (I’m not 20 anymore) and I do not understand “working hard on turns”, I was just gliding, no big deal, never felt it was hard at all. The main difference is you do not dig as deep as ice so good skating technique becomes more important giving the skater the ability to understand their flaws faster and improve, and the surface never gets cut up like ice.
Stopping is the same as on ice, the surface shaves just like ice, but since the flakes are heavier then ice they do not spray up. All skating elements can be performed on Super-Glide.
Thank you once again. Yeah, I have no idea about this stuff. I'm REAL ice and roller I'm an idiot when it comes to synthetic. Thanks for helping me out
In the youtube video - Super-Glide Training Rink - Florida
The player makes a comment on how good the puck moves when passing. Notice the saucer passing, comments after skating were “the puck moves just like ice which is very important.”
@hockeyman361 Yes you can stop on it. You can do hocky stops but it will dull the blades quicker than other stops and C- turns
@MrJNEW82 You lightly mist Super-Glide Skate Enhancer on the surface. This takes away the friction between the skate blades and Super-Glide panels. As you break the surface in the less you use.
Perry who has been skating on synthetic ice for 20 years sharpens his skates more than anyone and his boots have always broken down before the blades wore out. Wearing out blades is very hard to do, even sharpening every day, he gets new skates about every ten years. He always says the same thing “the amount of benefit you receive from skating on Super-Glide far outweigh skate sharpening.”
Oldest rinks are 12 years old with many more years of skating fun to go. The stuff is very tuff.
great job on keeping your head up
@MrJNEW82 You lightly mist Super-Glide Skate Enhancer on it. It takes away the friction between the skate blade and the Super-Glide panels. As you break the surface in the less you use.
@gsx185 Most Super-Glide rinks have sharpeners; with a sharpener players enjoy the rinks more. Shooting, Passing Drills and stick handling workouts can all be done standing still making the blades last hours longer. The boot protects your feet so full power passing can be practiced for hours which will help out any team.
@gsx185 The blade becomes duller faster than ice, this is not ruining the blades, sharpening is part of ice skating. Ice dulls the blade faster when stopping. Different types of skating (Aggressive game, training, and pleasure skate) all dull the blades at different rates. The average skater has the blades last 45 min.-1 Hr. Professionals up to two hours. Skating for 20 min. on Super-Glide is equivalent to 1 hr. of ice time (endurance and mussel workout).
@ForeverDirt3 The particles that get shaved when stopping are heavier than ice and show, so they do not fly through the air. It doesn't get shaved as thick as ice.
@theCODguy99 When we first started in 2000 all our rinks were outside in Miami, Fl. Outside is what Super-Glide was designed for, -30 to 180 degrees F.
@bantamsnipes3 On video Super-Glide always looks like ice but when you see it up close in person it is not cold and looks like a blue floor. The color was designed from the paint real ice rinks use so from more than 10 feet away it looks like ice
Yes, it shaves it just like it shaves ice. The particles just do not fly into the air because they are heavier then snow.
@xGRIEVSY His are CCM vector, but you can use any skates on the surface.
Since I am stopping the same way as ice I guess that is what you see when I stop on ice as well. It is very easy to stop on Super-Glide as you can see even others doing in other videos. Don’t know what you are talking about.
You lightly mist Super-Glide Skate Enhancer on the surface. This takes away the friction between the skate blades and Super-GLide panels. As you break the surface in the less you use.
Yes, and it will drastically reduce the cost as well.
@ghosthunter5656 Yes, it is a workout, players that want to be the strongest train on Super-Glide and kids learning on Super-Glide are superior to those who learn on ice, the future will have some amazing players.
Yes. You can go to our figure skating page on our website. Also check out videos on youtube. "Figure Skating on Super-Glide by Global Synthetic Ice", "Figure Skating on Super-Glide"
@nikolasdutkiewichh That is the main difference from Super-Glide and other products. The Russians did a glide test with weights on a blade and found Super-Glide beat competition by eight feet or more depending on the product.
Super-Glide needs to be installed on a smooth, flat, hard surface. It may be able to be to be installed on compacted gravel. Please see our pictures of Mexico installation on our website. GlobalSyntheticIce
Thanks. So you can put it anywhere you have space correct?
Incredible! And here I thought the invention of sport turf or the latest in artificial turf was ingenious. This kicks it's rear. Just by watching this I wouldn't be able to tell if this was a "put on" or joke with real ice.
i have a couple of goalie videos on my synthetic ice i got from global, you can see the benifits as when i started i wasnt super great on it, now on my more recent videos you can tell my movements have gotton tons better in just a couple months, it does dull the skates and make shaving but regular ice dulls blades and needs to be refrigerated at all times, choose your battles lol! my florr isnt super level so there is some spots i get caught up on so im considering doing crushed rock like this.
Thanks for your feedback!
Super-Glide Heavy Duty comes with a 10-year warranty, but tests show the surface will last well over 30 years. Our 11-year old rinks are not even halfway through their skate-able life with many more years of skating to go.
Correct. You will need a flat, level surface to lay Super-Glide on.
@fingaboadr People have done Bavarian curling in Europe on Super-Glide. Sweepers are used to melt the ice to direct the stone. This does not happen on synthetic ice.
cant wait til this comes to stl we'll be playin ice in the summer?!11
Wouldnt the frequent sharpening wear down the blade which overall causes the player to buy a new blade and/or holder
Super-Glide skate enhancer is misted on and was designed to work with our surface. When used correctly the skater does not know anything is on the surface that is what separates us from others whose surfaces must be soaked with silicone to work and the major complaint of skaters.
wow that is amazing. Rumor has it you have to keep your blades sharp seeing the surface dulls down the skates fast? Any truth to that?
Is it accurate to think that these tiles will lie flat on a home driveway or garage floor, assuming the surface is rigid and free of debris? In other words, I'm guessing that gravel and grass are out, but what about relatively smooth concrete with no serious cracks or flaws?
The surface remains the same the entire life, there is never anything that needs to be done except clean. The surface gets better the more it is used so five year old surfaces are faster than new ones.
The blade does not go very deep and it takes a long time before the blade to go over that exact spot again. Longevity has never been an issue with Super-Glide. Parents purchasing Super-Glide for their kids will have their grandkids learning on the same surface as well.
Depends on how good a skater you are, professionals can go as fast as the blades will allow, the only difference is the glide will not be as long when not pushing. On ice you glide farther when standing, on Super-Glide you become a stronger skater, skaters learning on Super-Glide are faster then those who learn on ice.
@Sportsarethebomb No. You use the same skates that you use on ice.
@rydogg2006 We have been training hockey players for ten years and find inside rinks just have to be swept up or blown off with a leaf blower. Outside rinks should be pressure washed every two weeks to keep a higher skating quality. Dirt is the same as on real ice, not good. Twenty players is considered light use for Super-Glide our surfaces were designed for hundreds of skaters hourly and those rinks are only halfway through their first side after eight years.
Could this finally bring the ability to play hockey in California more frequently? Please say yes.
It looks to be like there is a little more leg work involved on this synthetic stuff then from the ice!
What you fail to say is skating on “Super-Glide” for 20 min. is equivalent to 60 min. on ice. Players skating on Super-Glide are stronger, faster and have more endurance then those who only skate on ice. At our facilities skate sharpening is free so who cares about how often you sharpen, you are improving faster. The amount you spend on “real ice” time is far more expensive and you still have the cost of sharpening. Coaches agree this is the most economical way to develop “the best” team.
@websterja1 You know the saying. there is no stupid question. Nothing needs to be done like what a Zamboni does to ice, just cleaning Super-Glide like you wash your car is all that is needed. Inside needs even less mantanence.
Do you need different type of skates to skate on it?
Look great how long does it last? I liked and subscribed. Can't wait to see more
Did you self lubricate the surface? Or will it always look and feel like that
What kind of maintenance is required with this ? Would a team of 20 players be able to practice on this stuff daily?
hi, a few questions.. What is the friction ratio compared to ice? Seems to be harder to skate on this surface.. What would it be? 10, 15% or more friction? Also, what is the lifespan of this surface? Also any lubrication or wax needed to be applied as maintenance? Can it withstand changes in temperature? from Sun heat and freezing?
Super-Glide is the fastest and most realistic synthetic ice surface and the reason for our success. It takes about 10 minutes to adapt to the slight difference but once you get moving the comments are always the same, “just like ice”, our slogan since 2000.
Longevity has never been an issue. In Canada test was preformed and the results showed a rink skating hundreds of skaters per day would last over 40 years.

This may be a stupid question, but how do you guys zamboni it?
lol "and you fall just like ice!"
Ok, thank you. Where do you get synthetic ice?
@whatwayzup It is not as slippery as ice. It will be just a little slippery with rubber soled shoes.
So what kind of sharpness you need on the skates that are going on this tiles🤓
regular
А сверху какая-то жидкость наливается?
Best to have an alternate pair of skates, as it could chew up your skates. Multiple people have told me this. other than that, synthetic ice is good.
Synthetic ices, like cars, are different. There are low and high quality ices. Our Super-Glide is of the top quality.
What they fail to tell you is that the friction is much higher than "real" ice, and that it wears skatw blades quickly! Which means more frequent resharpening,
if u fall do u get burned?
NO DISRESPECT TO THE OLD BOSTON GARDEN. IM FROM THERE, But this surface would have been ideal in that building....NO FOG!!!!!
Nothing, Super-Glide will never get holes or crack like ice. It is designed to last many generations.
Hey,
I was wondering if figure skaters are able to perform jumps and spins on this synthetic ice. It seems like the plastic might not allow you to pick for a jump properly.
you can do everything you do on real ice. even kids do it.
I'm a figure skater and wanted to know if we Can actually do a spin on it? I'm at my hometown and they have this one wax skating rink and I want to practice but i'm not sure if i can do any tricks on it
Yes, you can! You can do any figure skating element on our Super-Glide synthetic ice. Check our videos!
@hen555 No you don't get burned
hockey is fun.. still love it to this day
looks incredible. two questions - what is the size of this rink and what is the life span for commercial traffic?
CdnGulfa 85' x 200' , life span 25 - 35 years.
+GlobalSyntheticIce i want to put this outside, but i also want to convert the rink to real ice during the winter, if i put a thin layer of plastic over this stuff, can i put water over it and freeze it?
+Jacob Sullivan
Yes, we have many players who do make a “real” ice rink during
the winter. If you slow freeze the surface this also works, first a light coat
seals all seams then start to flood.
GlobalSyntheticIce Thank you.
A skate sharpener close at hand is better. Ice dulls blades the same way and then you sharpen them. Perry Boskus who has skated thousands of hours on Super-Glide has always broken down the boots before the blades were anywhere close to being used up. The amount of benefits gained by the player far outweighs skate sharpening. Just like ice, hockey stops dull blades, When you reduce hockey stops the blades last much longer between sharpening.
Do you zamboni the SuperGlide?
how do you stop on this?
when you fall do you slide like ice
Yes, because the surface is slippery.
Sweet
We do not have any used panels available at this time. We have a Super-Glide Ultra product that may fit your needs. Please call 305 218 2966 or if you not in the USA please check our website for a distributor near you.
can you spray on it
How exactly does it work?
Like real ice with a little mre resistance

a good part is if you sit down you won't get soaked even though that's what the benches are for
The short answer is YES
$59 i saw your price (4x8) ..how much will cost 7000sqft...... can I use for roller skates?
The Substratum (price $59) that you speak of is designed to be placed UNDER our Super-Glide Systems, they are designed to allow outdoor Rinks to expand and contract in changing temperatures. We have never tried roller skating on this product. It would probably be too slippery and you would have to design a way for them to stay together.
What is the rink surface/floor size? Thanks!
In the description
No, nothing needs to be done except clean it if outdoors (blow off leaves and pressure wash)
i wonder how slippery it is when not wearing skates, just shoes/boots
You can go to our website globalsyntheticice or call 305-218-2966.
We have a variety of Super-Glide products and or sales staff can help you choose which product is best for your needs.
If you look on our web-site (Blog - Newest Super-Glide Hockey Training Rink video) you see how the puck moves when passed, one player even makes a comment about how good the puck moves. When we take videos nothing is staged, that is the biggest difference between Super-Glide and others, their videos are staged, nothing is real. We took this video at a hockey training facility that uses Super-Glide after the players were on the ice 15 min. and let them do what they want.
Are you serious!!??? I always thought that when you stop, it shaves part of the Synthetic Ice
the problem is you have to sharpen you skates after every skate
Those training on Super-Glide are far superior to those who only train on ice. They are the players making all
the teams, scoring the most goals, having their dreams come true, which is far more important than a 30 second skate sharpening.
Now that we have the most goalies in the NHL from training on Super-Glide since 2004 proves our
point. Soon every player in the NHL will train on Super-Glide.
GlobalSyntheticIce and you know all these facts how exactly?
@@GlobalSyntheticIce that is the based on nothing, first of all, the guy in this video looked like he was skating with jelly legs, his bad style is probably because of skating on synthetic instead of ice, and the sharpening job isnt based on time, which is actually more like 10 min, its the fact that its 12 dollars every time you want to skate on this synthetic shit.
After 12 years we have never had to replace any panels. The scratches are not noticed by the blades and barely noticed by your hand. Super-Glide never gets as bad as ice as far as cracks or deep cuts, nothing deeper than a millimeter. Average life is expected to be over 50 years.
Where can I get this?
We sell and ship from our factory. Please call 305-218-2966 or go to GlobalSyntheticIce.com for current prices and products.
Deer Santa !
Must be hot as hell in there if your wearing your full gear.
stopping will not be the same
We have different products for different situations, best to call 305-218-2966 for latest pricing and any specials that are offered.
@CONMANiam It depends on which Super-Glide product you want. We want to make sure you receive the correct product for your needs. Please contact 305-218-2966 and they will be able to lead you in the right direction.
You do not dig as deep as ice, there is no need to, all skating maneuvers are performed just like ice, and the surface is never cut up as bad as ice. As we always say Super-Glide shows all the skaters flaws because you are on top of the blade more, if the skater has technique problems in their skating they show up on Super-Glide and can be corrected easily.
The same way you stop in ice.
can you stop ?
No you don't get burned.
Yes, luckily air conditioners were invented.
go on NEXTCROSBY87 its awesome
