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!
