Here are the first photos of the installed Shapiro family rink in New Jersey. This is the first installation of a 32x48' Super-Glide "Mini Rink" with embedded hockey markings. The colored lines are molded into the Super-Glide synthetic ice surface so they require no maintenance and will never wear away!
Global Synthetic Ice is proud to offer this incredible new development to families and hockey coaches worldwide.
Here's something you probably never thought you'd see: A mini-hockey rink (32' x 48') in someone's back yard, with appropriate Hockey Rink Markings, embedded right in the surface!
This week, Global Synthetic Ice installed the world's first fully marked backyard Super-Glide synthetic ice rink. This rink belongs to the Shapiro family in New Jersey, and the installation was personally supervised by company president Perry Boskus.
We just received an email from the owner:
"Just a quick note to say THANK YOU for all of your help these past few days. The rink is AMAZING! We all LOVE it! The kids were out there until 4 pm yesterday, back out this morning and we have friends coming over to skate tonight. We are very, very excited about it and are so appreciative for everything you have done to help us with the process from start to finish. Thanks so much!
Thanks again and best wishes! We look forward to staying in touch.
Andy"
As soon at Perry returns from this trip to New England, we'll have photos, video and more information about this exciting new development in the world of synthetic ice hockey!
Here's a shot of what it's going to look like. This is our full-size Niagara Falls rink with lines super-imposed onto it.
Great news from the Global Synthetic Ice research and development department! We can now build our full-size Super-Glide synthetic ice rinks with regulation hockey markings. Available in both National Hockey League (NHL) and Canadian Hockey League (CHL) specifications, the line markings used on our Super-Glide hockey rinks are made of specially dyed Super-Glide synthetic ice material. This means that skating across them will be imperceptible, and they will never wear-through or require re-marking.
Super-Glide synthetic ice rink owners, hockey coaches and players have been asking for this feature for years, and Global Synthetic Ice is proud to be able to provide it!
