On the beach one moment, a figure skater the next.

What's under a Glice rink? Less than you'd think. 🏗️
It lays directly on any flat surface — concrete, asphalt, sport or event flooring — with no refrigeration bed, no piping, no drilling, and typically no permits. Outdoor rinks get a slight incline so rain drains off. The surface handles weather instead of fighting it.
When the NHL brought its game to Düsseldorf for SportsInnovation, the ice under it wasn't ice at all.
Glice provided the synthetic skating surface at the event — the same breakthrough surface that lets elite hockey happen without a drop of water or a refrigeration plant, anywhere in the world.
Top-level hockey, on a surface that travels to the game instead of the other way around.

Ever wondered how panels become one smooth rink? 🔧
Glice uses a precision tongue-and-groove connection — like quality parquet flooring — reinforced with plugs, so seams sit flush and undetectable. Cheaper puzzle-style joints leave ridges you can feel and catch a blade on. The connection is what makes skating feel seamless.
Can you actually learn to skate on synthetic ice? A coach's answer: yes.
Iker Oyarzabal — figure skater and coach 🇪🇸 — taught school kids on Glice and put it plainly:
"Learning to skate on Glice and on regular ice is really similar. The exercises and everything we did are very similar — and the kids had a really good experience."
His verdict on where it fits: "It's a very good choice where you can't have a regular ice rink."
That's the whole idea — real skating, real teaching, in places traditional ice can't reach.
Great skating isn't just for the pros — it's built, rep by rep, at every level.
At Topline Hockey, founder Justin Selman (former pro, St. Louis Blues organization), coach Nick Fea, and their athletes train the way the modern game demands: skill, edges, possession. And they're doing it on Glice.
Watch the stride. The crossovers. The speed. When the surface lets developing players skate like that, it stops being a compromise and starts being a tool.
From six-year-olds to current NHLers — the skating holds up.

What does skating on synthetic ice actually feel like? ⛸
Close to the real thing. Same technique — push, glide, turn, stop — with a little more resistance than a fresh Olympic sheet. Independent Fraunhofer (IWM) testing found a friction coefficient matching freshly resurfaced real ice at lower speeds, right where recreational and training skating happens.
