Over the past eight months a prestigious Canadian group has been conducting extensive research to find the best synthetic ice to replace real ice at their facilities throughout Canada. Fifteen Synthetic Ice companies submitted bids for this major contract. Experts compiled information such as company backgrounds, types of assembly methods, quality of skating surface, durability and more. Synthetic Ice surfaces from each of the companies were extensively tested, checked and double checked. All of this information was scrutinized, and in the end Global Synthetic Ice, producers of Super-Glide Synthetic Ice, won the bid to build the first full size rink at the Archie Simpson Arena. This once again proves the superiority of Super-Glide synthetic ice.
The 85' by 200' Super-Glide system will include patent pending inventions such as new goalie crease, embedded hockey lines and our new goal net holding devices. Located in the community of Wood Buffalo in Alberta, the Archie Simpson Arena will be the first fully functioning synthetic ice arena in the World!
