What is synthetic ice?

Synthetic Ice Panels are a solid polymer sheet made from polyethylene plastic.  These synthetic ice panels connect to form a seamless artificial ice skating surface that feels just like real ice. The panels are self-lubricating, and we also add a lubricant solution to mimic the gliding properties of real ice.

We are proud to use Glice, the leader in artificial ice surfaces. Skaters can use regular metal hockey skates for recreational skating and hockey.

Testimonials

On the ice he was a leader, one of the best team players I have ever coached. He would do anything asked of him, going hard every shift, always backchecking and blocking shots, and never complaining.
Mark Davis, Coach, Sarnia Legionnaires Jr. B
Coach Marks took a black ace under his wing when we played in Northern Colorado. As it turns out, the same kid went on to break the franchise record in goals the following year and was just named to the all-rookie team in the NCAA.
Marshal Murphy, St. Michael's College, NCAA

What Is It?

Home Ice consists of two synthetic ice pads to be used for so many skating related events. Each pad is approximately 20′ X 30′, providing enough space for specialized hockey training or hosting skating groups for family parties or birthdays. The ice pads are separated by a 20-foot block wall, giving not only privacy, but also a solid physical barrier between your group and the next. The ice is world class synthetic, offering the absolute best skating experience next to real ice. Synthetic ice doesn’t need to be cooled which means you don’t need to bundle up for the cold you’re used to. And it means the Home Ice is usable in ALL SEASONS.

The best part is ANYONE can rent Home Ice, any day of the week. Morning, evening, or night.

Can You Use Real Skates on It?

YES. Synthetic ice is made for use with real skates. You lace up with your favorite pair, hop on and get to it.
Well, with hockey skates, anyway. One limitation is no toe picks. Sorry, figure skaters! But toe picks will damage the ice severely.

What Can We do on Home Ice?

Unfortunately, Home Ice is for hockey skates only. The synthetic ice industry hasn’t been able to figure out the damage created by toe picks just yet.
But that doesn’t mean you have to buy hockey skates if you don’t have any. You can rent a pair of skates on arrival at Home Ice for just $7.

For any hockey training, yes, helmets are required. Once sticks and pucks are involved we don’t take any chances.
For just a skating session, it is at the adults’/parents’ discretion. If you or your kids are not strong skaters yet, helmets are strongly encouraged.

Each Home Ice pad is in its own area, surrounded by three massive walls, isolating you and your group from any other activities on site, including other skating groups and axe throwing groups. Between sessions, the ice is cleaned and the area is sprayed with disinfectant for the next incoming group.

 

Yes! If you have an established clientele or you’re looking to start building your training business we have a great opportunity for you to expand. For more information please email [email protected]

 

ABSOLUTELY! Both axe throwing and skating can be booked at the same place.

Because of the capacity restrictions in place and need for sanitization Home Ice is by appointment only.

 

Nope! You can rent skates when you arrive for $7.

 

Due to COVID restrictions this can’t be guaranteed. Depending on the number of people in the facility that day we may or may not be able to accommodate you after skating.
