Hockey Training Facilities. Built on Synthetic Ice.
Add a year-round training room inside your arena, or build a standalone off-ice hockey training center. Global Synthetic Ice panels give players a surface for skating, stickhandling, shooting and goalie work in their own hockey skates — no ice time needed.
Two Ways to Build a Hockey Training Facility
Inside Your Rink
Arena Training Rooms
Turn an unused room, mezzanine or storage area into a synthetic ice training room. Players keep training while the main sheet is booked.
Shooting & Stickhandling Lanes
Turn spare floor space into lanes built for high-repetition shooting, passing and puck handling.
Goalie Training Areas
A dedicated space for crease movement — butterfly slides, push-offs and post-to-post work — away from team practice.
Standalone Off-Ice Facilities
Off-Ice Training Centers
Convert warehouse, flex or retail space into a full hockey training center, with a skating area, shooting lanes and room for dryland training.
Private Coaching Studios
Compact spaces for skills coaches running one-on-one and small- group lessons. Build to the footprint you have.
Club & Academy Facilities
Hockey clubs, academies and school programs that want their own surface for skill sessions between on-ice practices.
Train Every Skill, Every Day
Ice time is expensive and hard to book. A synthetic ice training area gives players the repetitions a team practice rarely has time for — between practices, in the off-season, and whenever the main sheet isn’t available.
- Skating in their own hockey skates — edges, crossovers, stops and starts
- Stickhandling, passing and shooting with real pucks
- Goalie movement — butterfly slides, push-offs and post-to-post
- No ice to book, no resurfacing between sessions
Panels That Lock Together as One Surface
Global Synthetic Ice panels connect with a multi-directional lock. More surface connections mean vertical and horizontal seams are both strong, so the rink expands and contracts as one piece.
- Panels come as 4' x 4' or 4' x 8'
- 3/8" or 1/2" thick — 32 lbs for a 4' x 4', 64 lbs for a 4' x 8' at 3/8", 72 lbs at 1/2"
- Tab geometry flexes with temperature swings, so seams stay tight without buckling
- Built to any size your space allows
Built for Daily Training Traffic
Global Synthetic Ice has manufactured synthetic ice for more than 25 years and has operated its own rinks for more than 20. We build panels for the kind of use a busy training facility sees every day.
- 7-year manufacturing defect warranty
- No warranty claim has ever been filed
- Only one client has needed to replace a tile in 7+ years — a heavy-traffic commercial site
- No refrigeration, compressors or resurfacing equipment
