Synthetic Ice Review - HockeyShot Extreme Glide

[@jasonrekker4328]

Largely good reviews, so I will add some critique. First, I am very disappointed that there is no mention anywhere from Hockeyshot that it dulls your skates 10x faster than ice. That significantly increases the cost of use over 10 years, and should be factored in. Additionally it is pretty inconvenient to have to sharpen your skates a couple of times a week, or daily if you're a heavy user. Plus the cost of mileage driving to the pro shop, or the cost of buying your own skate sharpening equpiment, neither of which are being factored into the cost of ownership. " The product MUST be installed on a grippy sub-floor or mat. It can not be installed directly onto concrete or hardwood, as the whole sheet will slide along the floor with any sudden movement. This may not be an issue with extremely large surfaces, but mine is 30 tiles or 70 sq ft and the whole sheet shifts 6-12 inches with any start or stop. There is no mention of this on the product, which is not only annoying and adds to the cost of installation, but is a safety issue I'm surprised went completely under the radar. Someone is going to get hurt trying to skate and having the whole thing shift underneath them. Third, the product comes with zero documentation, installation instructions, usage guide, or anything. You can get some info online, and maybe I'm old school that way but there should really be a guide with this product given its peculiarities and requirements.

Synthetic ice is so damn expensive.

[@ayyayyron2137]

I know why can't it be cheaper?

[@TheCoolwhipped]

I honestly was expecting it to be more expensive than it is. A couple grand for something that is this easy to install and maintain AND will last 10-15 years is fairly cheap. If you put real ice down, the electric bill from the refrigeration needed to keep it frozen year round would be insane.

[@CheesyGrape]

TheCoolwhipped true

[@teaganbaker5757]

TheCoolwhipped Don’t forget too, he hinted at sharpening your skates after every use. I’m sure that eventually adds up as well. It seems to make sense just to buy a skate sharpening machine to go along with the synthetic ice. That is for people who’d use it every day.

[@dnelson9594]

If you use a hard surface floor clearner (I use a hoover floormate.. about 100 bucks) with warm water, it really cleans most of the grit, grime, and sand off the surface and will prolong skating time until your baldes go completely dull.

Bought a pair of steel wheel skates to avoid the excess sharpening of the regular skates. Use the basement synthetic ice almost daily now. Glides almost like a real skate on ice, and less plastic shavings.

What kind of "steel wheel skates" do you use (link)?

[@zackmaxx91]

They are from Agility Blades agilityblades.com/

[@TheCrepinsek]

zack maxx Thx. There is no price info grrr. You bought new skates or just holders? Also, you need to sharpen Agility Blades too. In promo video they said 10 times longer so in reality, I guess, It is probably after 5 hours? Can you confirm this? And what is price for sharpening this steal weals?

[@mechwd-gaming]

What is the most cost effective way to sharpen your skates considering you said you have to sharpen your skates after each time. Sorry, noob here. Oh and great job on the video, was looking for a video like this. It's the kind of information you don't get from promo videos.

[@CoachJeremy]

Christopher Bishop The most cost effective would be to buy a skate sharpening machine and then do them yourself.

[@danho365]

The Hockey Movement Theres a company named sidelines, I think, they sell something called the magic stick. Its handheld, and really simple to use. I think you should buy it and do a review of it. Its like, 20 dollars. sales.sidelines.ca/product/00/BMAST/SIDELINES-MAGIC-STICK thats the link.

[@T.Doucet]

+Dan Ho Those things are terrible for skates if you use them more then 2 or 3 times a year. The way that skates are sharpened the blades are made to look like an upside down "U" shape. That gives you the edge. I you use one of those stick sharpeners it shapes your blade like a right side up "V" Making it much more difficult to sharpen your blades the proper way in the future.

[@georgecole5149]

My friend got the synthetic ice from hockeyshot at Christmas last year he said it is much too slow to skate on yet great for stock handling and skating. Also he said it dulls his skates way too quickly.

Hey Jeremy, just packing the bags getting ready for Nashville, gonna be a tough one. Listen, saw this video and thought that your synthetic ice is a bit insane? I mean, me and Marty in one hour would tear that floor up to the concrete. My question is what would happen during your practice if you try and stop because the floor is rough, you could dig down through the ice and ultimately end up in your sharp corner and crack your skull against the boards in the corner. That's about it, getting ready for my flight. Take care! P.S Come to Brampton and check out my setup, real ice in my fathers garage. Don't worry about a stick, we got plenty of them here.

because you have to sharpen your skates every time your skate blade will get to thin and you will have to replace it.

I was reading about Japans synthetic rinks made of resin. Idk how that would be on the skates. But resin is pretty durable. Idk if this has any resin in it or not.

[@MidwestKorky]

I have the same thing in my garage and it only cost me me about $50. They’re called rollerblades.

[@ffryan]

Something like this is meant as an off-ice training where the idea is to simulate as closely as possible to on-ice. Roller blades have a substantially different feel, and set of capabilities. As a result they don't transition as well. Not even with something like the marsblades. If you're just a casual Joe, looking to stay active, where the feel doesn't have to mimic on-ice, certainly roller blades with a roller hockey puck and abs stick will suffice.

[@MaxPautov]

a very good idea, but it is expensive in Russia (((

Big news for those that skate on synthetic ice. The Mel's Rink Foundation has developed the V GAP Blade. A new blade for skating on synthetic ice. There Is No Comparison Between Traditional Full ​Length Skate Blades And The V GAP Blade, when Skating On ANY Synthetic Ice Surface. ​​The V GAP Blade Is 100% BETTER! Better Glide. Better Turning. Better Control. Better Experience. Actually Feels Like Skating On Ice. The V GAP Blade is a game changer for the synthetic ice industry.

[@TheDemonking23]

hey, you said the plastic was self lubricating, can you elaborate a bit more on that? You also mentioned with other synthetic ice brands you need to sweep the shavings more often? i was watching your skates and you seemed to be kicking up quite a bit of shavings when you are making your stops.

[@CoachJeremy]

It has an additive that doesn't require lubrication, it's already added to the plastic. You still need to sweep it, you don't need to add lubrication as you do with other synthetic ice

[@TheDemonking23]

[@drexxler138]

I see no one answered this question. The answer is no/yes. If you are an experienced goalie with strong legs, then yes you will benefit drastically from this. If your a weak skater or new, then no, the additional resistance will make it very difficult for you to be agile.

he does go into some detail. Hockey shot makes their synthetic ice denser. Most brands will require you to lubercate the plastic with like a squeegee and a special formulated solution. Almost like a vinager color but its a special formula. Im unsure if anyone really knows what the solution actually is, But Hockey Shot has built that technology into their plastic ice.

[@reillybrennan6548]

Why does this happen?

[@bennetw.murray6239]

+Reilly Brennan ice is a lot less resistant than a shooting pad, as well as ice being more difficult to get a "hold" on the puck due to the blade of your stick slipping across the ice, therefore disabling you to flex the stick properly.

[@jasonrekker4328]

@@reillybrennan6548 when you perform the shooting motion for a high shot, the blade pushes against the puck and then the puck rides up on the blade so you can get under it. When the puck is on a grippier surface, when the blade pushes against the puck it does not move forward as quickly, so it rides up your blade more easily. On a more slippery surface, when your blade pushes against the puck it slides forward more quickly, so it does not ride up your blade as much. You may notice a different as well when shooting on fresh ice vs snowy ice at the end of a game. You can overcome this by increasing shot quickness and power, which increases the speed difference between your blade and the puck.
