Synthetic ice: the challenge, now solved
For decades, synthetic ice promised year-round hockey training. Players relied on it for extra reps — but widespread adoption was held back by one significant drawback: it simply hasn’t felt like real ice.
Increased drag
Traditional blades encounter 30% higher friction, compromising the effortless glide that defines hockey’s joy.
More demanding
Skaters expend 20–30% more energy, leading to quicker fatigue and less enjoyable skill development.
Accelerated blade wear
Standard blades dull within 30–60 minutes — a wear rate 5–10 times greater than on real ice.
CryoBlades™ addresses these limitations — the authentic glide of real ice on synthetic surfaces, with minimal friction and blade wear. Synthetic ice, finally enjoyable and sustainable.
