HOCKEYSHOT PRODUCTS

why do my blue tiles look more used than my white ones?

When your skates cut into the synthetic ice, that cut loses a bit of its pigmentation (just like when you bend a piece of coloured plastic, you will notice it loses pigmentation at the bend). This is not as evident on the white tiles because there is very little contrast. Whereas on the coloured tiles, that contrast is more pronounced as it is a light marking on a blue surface as opposed to a light marking on a white surface.

how realistic is the skating experience on synthetic ice? 

Synthetic Ice has come a long way in the last half decade! We are proud to be part of the pioneers who led the “self-lubricating panel” movement. And we haven't stopped our continuous R&D as we head the pack.

Of course, skating on synthetic ice will be a bit different from skating on real ice. Although there is a higher coefficient (10-15%) of friction compared to real ice, the period of accustomization for most is short-lived (~5mins) and skating is always noticeably more comfortable once the steel on your skates heats up. The latter coupled with a freshly sharpened pair of skates and proper skating technique will mean that a skater is soon performing all the same movements - clean strides to effortless transitions - as they would on real ice. And the best part? The added friction forces players really focus on their technique, so when they hop back on real ice, the same biomechanics are directly translatable and players are absolutely flying!

what is the best place to set up my hockey

All models of our HockeyShot flooring can be set up either indoors or outdoors.

The most important factor when installing is to have a level, flat, hard surface for your HockeyShot flooring. Asphalt, concrete, and wood structures are the most recommended substrates. We never recommend setting up HockeyShot flooring directly on grass or dirt.

For any surfaces that are wall-to-wall or have a surrounding perimeter containment, please factor in an expansion tolerance gap for warmer/humid days. Like most modular flooring, temperature changes will see your surface contract and expand.

can anybody skate on synthetic ice?

Yes! Synthetic Ice is perfect for all skaters!

Hockey forwards, defensemen, and goalies, ranging from minor to professional, can all improve their skating on synthetic ice.

For figure skaters, we do not recommend practicing any moves with aggressive use of the toe pick, as it may damage the surface. Traditional skating, stride practice, and spins are very much encouraged as they do not require the toe pick.

Skaters of all skill levels can practice forward and backward skating, hard stops, crossovers, and tight turns!

what is normal wear and tear on my synthetic ice tiles?

SYNTHETIC REVOLUTION TILES

Just like real ice, your skates make cuts into synthetic ice! With every stride, pivot, and stop, your skates will cut into the synthetic ice and little plastic shavings will form.

Similar to how real ice is zambonied after every period, you will need to vacuum or sweep up these shavings occasionally when skating on synthetic ice. As you skate more and more, the synthetic ice will wear down slowly over time, but the act of skating on your tiles wears them down evenly.

You will notice these cuts and shavings more with our coloured tiles than our standard white tiles.

In order to keep your tiles looking fresh, we recommend covering with a tarp when not in use if your setup is outside. Dirt and grime will find its way into the cuts a groves created during play.

For optimal performance of any HockeyShot flooring - the cleaner you can keep the surface, the more enjoyment you'll get out of it! On all plastic surfaces, care should be taken to limit the residual dirt/debris that may accumulate from the surrounding area and outdoor shoes.

From a basic cleaning standpoint - warm water and PH neutral soap can be used to remove any superficial dirt or stains. Please avoid any strong chemicals or abrasive cleaning products when caring for your surface.

EXTREME GLIDE PANELS

We’ve heard our Extreme Glide synthetic ice referred to as “Sweep n Go” ice. While maintenance really depends on the hours used and the surrounding climate- our panels are high density, non-porous sheets that usually only require basic maintenance (after use) such as: daily sweeping & weekly mopping with a mild, pH neutral soap. Some higher traffic and/or outdoor surfaces may require more frequent deep cleaning (power scrubber/washer).

where can i install extreme glide synthetic ice?

Indoors or outdoors! The best base for your rink is a hard, flat and level surface. By having this as a foundation, it optimizes the performance of the panels along with your overall skating area. A cement base, sport court, or flat asphalt/pavement provide the ideal surface for your panel. If you do not have this, there are some options to build varying grades of wooden structures (skeleton or decking platforms) with temporary or permanent supports. Extreme Glide panels can not be set up directly on grass.  

Extreme Glide Synthetic Ice can be enjoyed year-round and in all temperatures. Extreme Glide panels are UV protected and stress relieved. They will not degrade in sunlight or warp deteriorate as temperature increases or decreases.

For outdoor installations, we recommend covering your surface with a tarp when it is not being used to protect the synthetic ice panels from dirt, dust, pollen, sap from trees, bird droppings, and leaves. When leaves become wet they will leach colours and stain any surface they come in contact with.

 

can extreme glide synthetic ice be used for figure skating? what about using toe picks? 

Of course! We’ve had a number of Olympic and National level skaters train on our surface and they always identify how smooth and natural the skating feels. Much of this performance lies in the HDPE recipe we’ve engineered which sees our panels walk the perfect line between hard and slightly less hard surface tension. It offers a dynamic responsiveness for both young and elite skaters alike.

Toe picks are more aggressive to the surface than a hockey skate and they will affect the lifespan of the panel. In order to mitigate accelerated wear & tear from this, we always recommend limiting movements such as toe-assisted takeoffs and jumps to a few select panels. This way, if there were to be excessive damage to your designated area, you would only seek to replace these particular panels; not your whole surface.

what is the difference between dryland and multi sport tiles?

All-Star Dryland Flooring Tiles were designed specifically for hockey training, while the Multi-Sport Tiles were designed for a wide variety of sports, including hockey. The Dryland tiles provide an ice-like surface for stickhandling, passing, and shooting. The smooth surface allows for a natural puck glide that you simply can't find on most "off-ice" surfaces. The Multi Sport Tiles have a textured surface that provides a better grip for running, jumping and playing a wide variety of sports such as ball hockey, basketball, tennis, volleyball, and much more.

Note that regular black pucks do not not slide very well on the Multi-Sport Tiles, but the HockeyShot Extreme Dryland Puck and Dangle Puck 2.0 slide well on these tiles. While there are several other differences, some of the main differences are the size (18" x 18" Dryland Tiles vs. 12" x 12" Multi Sport Tiles), the connections (symmetric for Dryland Tiles, directional for Multi Sport Tiles), etc. To see all the features of each product, make sure to visit the respective product pages.

what is the difference between revolution and extreme glide synthetic ice surfaces?

To start, let's look at the base similarities! Both are glide infused synthetic ice which allows the user to skate on the surface without need for additional glide enhancers. Assembly of either surface is simple and all types of conventional ice skates can be used on both.

For the base differences, Revolution Tiles are small molded squares (18" x 18") that are skateable on 1-side. They are a synthetic ice that offers a resistance factor between 10-15% depending on the skater. Due to their smaller size and thinner surface composition, they are often considered the most accessible synthetic ice option on the market. Extreme Glide Panels are robust, large, reversible skateable sheets that are offered in standard sizes of 4'x4' and 4'x8'. They are a synthetic ice that delivers a premier performance experience with dynamic edge response feel. This is due to the rigidity of the panel and a special glide recipe embedded throughout the whole core.

It should be noted that Revolution Tiles have a symmetrical clipping connection system, while Extreme Glide panels each have a precision cut dovetail connection. As such, Revolution Tiles and Extreme Glide do not have connection compatibility.

how do i care for hockeyshot products?

Extreme Glide Synthetic Ice Panels, Revolution Tiles, and Dryland Tiles are designed for use inside and outside. They are UV protected to prevent sun damage, however we recommend covering the tiles with a tarp or storing inside when not in use. If left outside for long periods of time they will become damaged.

Extreme Glide Synthetic Ice Panels, Revolution Tiles, and Dryland Tiles should be laid on any hard, flat surface such as concrete, asphalt or wood.

Just like real ice, Extreme Glide Synthetic Ice Panels and HS Synthetic Ice Revolution Tiles will leave shavings. The only maintenance required is sweeping/vacuuming up shavings every few hours or so of use. If your tiles become dirty with debris like dust or dirt, you can use a wet mop to clean the surface.

Do not use any kind of wax, including car wax, on any HockeyShot Tiles (Extreme Glide, Revolution, Dryland). If you wish to improve the ease at which the puck glides, you can apply the HS Extreme Glide Polish to your tiles.

For all other products, do not leave them outside. Prolonged exposure to sun, rain and snow will degrade them. Damage due to weather exposure is not covered under warranty.

can i use my ice skates on extreme glide synthetic ice or do i need special equipment?

Extreme Glide Synthetic Ice was designed for use with regular hockey, leisure, and figure skates and will not damage your blades. Just remember to keep them sharpened for optimal performance!

If wearing figure skates, we do not recommend practicing any moves with aggressive use of the toe pick, as it may damage the surface. Traditional skating, stride practice and spins are very much encouraged as they do not require the toe pick.

will extreme glide wear more quickly for goalies/ is there any special equipment needed for goalies?

Yes. The repetitive movements over the same panels will result in quicker wear and tear and are not factored into our estimated lifespan or warranty. This is true for all synthetic ice used in the “crease area”. The good news is that panels outside of this immediate area may be rotated in to provide an extended lifespan to the full surface. We always recommend our thicker ½” panels for serious goalie training hours.

As for equipment, none at all! All drills done on real ice can be done on Extreme Glide Synthetic Ice. The small resistance factor helps with responsible technique (less cheating) and movement; our goalie partner centers have mentioned improved core and balance in their athletes after a few sessions on Extreme Glide. Our Synthetic Ice is ideal for goalies as it allows you to “keep your edge” and limits the skidding out that is often experienced on other formats of synthetic ice.

do the extreme glide panels connect to the revolution tiles?

100%! HockeyShot has been around since 2007 and we are here to stay!

Our Extreme Glide panels of the same format/thickness are modular and our dovetail connection pattern will remain standard so you can always add more panels down the road.

can i add-on to my extreme glide surface at a later date?

To start, let's look at the base similarities! Both are glide infused synthetic ice which allows the user to skate on the surface without need for additional glide enhancers. Assembly of either surface is simple and all types of conventional ice skates can be used on both.

For the base differences, Revolution Tiles are small molded squares (18" x 18") that are skateable on 1-side.

what tools should i have for a basic synthetic ice setup?

Starting line up: Gloves, measuring tape (measure twice, cut once), ~4lb rubber mallet, skill/table saw (if cuts required) starting at 40 tooth count blade.

what size surface should i start with?

Many variables play into this answer (age, skill, ice sport, objective etc.) so there really is no right answer. But, if you want a good personal skills pad using our Extreme Glide panels or Synthetic Ice Revolution Tiles; 16’ x 20’ (320sqft) is a fun surface size to get started.

If you want a good personal skills pad using our All-Star Dryland Tiles (non-skateable), less space is required to get started.

should i put a shelter over the synthetic ice rink if outdoors?

Our panels are embedded with UV inhibitors so there is no specific material deterioration due sun exposure. Additionally, rain or snow will not affect the integrity of the panels; just squeegee or shovel off before using and you’re ready to skate! In hotter climates, a shelter over the rink could be considered to shade athletes from the direct sun...or in regions where there are deciduous trees, the shelter could help limit the debris clean up. As a rule of thumb, an outdoor surface should be covered with a tarp when not in use.

how do i install my shooting tarp?

There are two great options for installing your Shooting Tarp! A ceiling and a wall hang!

* It is important to note that no hardware is included with our Shooting Tarps. You will need to purchase different hardware depending on the hang type selected. We recommend purchasing the following at a minimum:

  • 1 x 16ft’ 2" x 4" to attach to Shooting Tarp
  • Handful of screws
  • 20 x washers - big enough to cover grommets on Shooting Tarp
  • Chains to hang Shooting Tarp - attach to 2"x4" or each individual grommet

For each, 12" off the wall is recommended. There is a hem at the bottom of the Tarp to insert a weighted chain, which will allow taught hang and mitigate sway. Do not insert a metal pipe or rod- this will damage the hem. Your Shooting Tarp came with two bungee cords so you can quickly and easily roll it out of the way.

my shooting tarp is ripped, is there a way to repair this?

While we do not have a repair kit for the tarps, we recommend reaching out to a local boat tarp shop if you are outside of the 1 year warranty to seek repairs.
