Testing Glice New Hockey Synthetic Ice in Switzerland - First Impressions

[@maestro6457]

I just visited a public skating Glice ice rink in order to give it a try myself. It was appaling. No wonder nobody was skating there and everyone who tried left after a few minutes. I really tried - my edges just would not grip and kept sliding. The friction was too much so it was hard to move. My blades got dull after some 5-10 minutes of trying to skate. Perhaps this ice rink did not do a proper maintenance of the Glice and perhaps it is better with fresh new tiles but I cannot imagine this to be a good surface to practice with your skates on. Stickhandling perhaps.

Could you do a video: The best synthetic ice panels where you compare extra ice, glice, hockeyshot, or other brands?

[@HockeyTutorialOfficial]

Shhhh... might have to hide this comment! ;) it’s coming !!

[@seanthomas6421]

🙌 yes!

[@kasikko2]

I prefer hockeyshot! They are great!

[@seanthomas6421]

I have some hockey shot tiles which are great but then I got polyglide and those are much better if you want more glide. If you want my resistance then hockey shot is good also

@@HockeyTutorialOfficial did this ever get made? looking into including this into a performance facility but do not have a lot of experience with synth ice

Chris..... Yenno I'm a sucker for a good drone shot. Good video

Yes huge sucker indeed. Long time flight sim and drone guy here.

I too love a good drone shot to open a video ☺️

Big thanks Peter !

I thought flat meant home for the english, i usually say the ground needs to be 'level'

[@tristanlalonde2704]

On the topic of synthetic ice you should review hockey shots synthetic ice

[@haraldhirsch2049]

The ice is ok in the beggining but the glide is decreasing without the glide liquid.

[@johngilkes2521]

I wish these companies would try to sell to towns and rec centers line turf grass does. Hockey is kind of held back south of Buffalo because “eff around time” is really limited

[@rossprohaska6263]

Also could you outline at all what the cost was for the setups you had in the video for reference?

[@elorarapids4221]

Any big difference between Xtraice and Glice? Do you recommend one over the other? There specs on their websites seem to have many similarities, including the t&g connections with pegs. Thanks.

[@mikledeepikle-4033]

Which NHL team do you support?

[@HockeyTutorialOfficial]

We support hockey 😂🤪

[@jakehufstedler178]

love your vids!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@HockeyTutorialOfficial]

Big thanks Jake !

[@zo3149]

Test the new snipers edge synthetic ice

[@rossprohaska6263]

So my question about synthetic ice is do you adjust your hollow because of the difference between it and real ice so your transition between the two might be better? If you get synthetic ice I’m thinking you probably are going to have a Sparx machine also so setting up your hollow would be easier and quicker?

[@HockeyTutorialOfficial]

If it’s good quality synthetic you don’t really need to worry about your hollow and edges. We do have home sharpeners but can easily bounce from good synthetic to ice without sharpening. Of course if you skate a lot of synthetic you will need to sharpen. Depending on the brand of synthetic, you might also need to be for a deeper hollow.

[@TheRsmith0118]

Swiss Hockey moms included?

[@mattmartinez4053]

Great Video!!! What are those yellow edges that go around the rink?

[@thomasgaulier1892]

Great video!

[@HockeyTutorialOfficial]

Thank you !

[@beggs8836]

Yo man, what is the hockey city of UK? And are most of your videos filmed in Nottingham ye? Cheer fam.

[@HockeyTutorialOfficial]

All of our videos in the UK are filmed in our studio or in Romford

[@sbath2714]

As a hockey Dad looking to purchase synthetic ice I found your videos to be very informative! Keep up the great work! In your opinion, which brand (Glice, Xtraice, etc.) has the best glide? Which brand produces the least amount of plastic shavings/dust? Glice, Xtraice, HockeyShot Extreme Glide, SmartRink, etc. all promise great glide but they haven't been tested and compared independently.

[@poonsamurai]

Hi, three years later I’m in a similar situation, and comparisons are not easy to find. Did tot gleam any insights on this subject that you could share?

It was awesome getting to test it in two very different locations

This is why I love futball, all you need is a ball and 2 trees parallel to each other👌😎

[@lukethomas2101]

It’s allot cheaper

[@larsmonroe6200]

can you try kwik rink

[@armenmunayan5984]

Is Glice better than previously reviewed Xtraice?

[@ralphdinardo8163]

Does synthetic ice wear out your skates quicker ? If so how often should you get you skates sharpened when using it?

[@melik.a3318]

I saw another video that said if you use the synthetic ice for about 30 minutes and longer you have to sharpen your skates but I would probably just do it after every session on the synthetic

[@julianholmes8291]

So sick!

[@edmndsn77]

What happens if you shoot it over the glass?

[@DoktorCord]

you have to walk down and get the puck back. Extra leg training ;)

[@GoThereAndBack]

How much would full sized synthetic ice hockey rink cost?

[@pondlakes]

7

[@melik.a3318]

Does anyone know what skates he is using? They look very nice
