If you've been following our blog, you've seen our posts about Super-Glide synthetic ice skating facilities and rinks mostly in the US, Canada, Germany and Japan.  You might be saying to yourself "sure, but those are some of the most highly populated areas of the world... are you really GLOBAL?"

Goran Jokic, president of Igloo Ice has been successfully marketing Super-Glide synthetic ice in Belgrade Serbia for everything from figure skating shows to hockey training, practice and play, even special private events.  Goran is an expert skater with a long hockey career.  He tested most of the available synthetic ice brands on the world market before confidently choosing Global Synthetic Ice's Super-Glide as the best product and the only synthetic ice product that his company offers.

So, is Global Synthetic Ice really "global"?  You bet we are!  And our reach is spreading further every day.

The New Jersey Devils held their Fan Fest in April, at the Prudential Center’s Championship Plaza, and our friends at All Year Sports Galaxy were there to provided a Super-Glide® skating surface for the fans! It looks like they’re having fun. Thanks to Lena Slivchenko for sharing the picture.

“Stickhandling Guru,” Sean Skinner, recently created a video where he discusses synthetic ice, and its use in training and developing hockey player skills. For over 20 years Sean has been sought after, the world over, as a professional ice hockey skills coach and elite trainer. He has worked for Hockey Canada, the Swedish Hockey Federation, USA Hockey, the International Ice Hockey Federation, and the top Russian Hockey Clubs. He even caught the eyes of the Montreal Canadiens, where he ran their pre-season training camp in front of 14,000 + fans.

In this video Sean notes that “the surface is just like being on ice” and that it’s a “fantastic training tool.” And yes, that’s the Super-Glide product, from Global Synthetic Ice, that he’s skating on!

Nice moves Sean! Thanks for sending this along.

Here's a final, late post from last week's Hockey Expo in Canada.  Someone sent us this video of kids enjoying the Super-Glide demo rink.  This amateur video shows how naturally the young kid at the beginning is able to skate on Super-Glide.  That's what it's all about! And, yes, that's Georges Laraque shown near the end, sharing time with some of his fans.
