Interlocking 18 x 18 inch tiles snap together to create a smoother training surface with fewer seams. Weatherproof treatment allows use indoors or outdoors while simulating the feel of real ice with regular pucks.
Fewer seams, smoother surface - thanks to larger 18 x 18 inch tiles
Large 18 x 18 inch tiles minimise the number of joins across a given area, achieved through an easy snap-together profile. Fewer seams reduce interruptions in puck movement and create a more continuous training surface.
Cleaner puck rolls and fewer unexpected stops make passing and shooting drills more consistent and closer to on-ice practice.
Realistic puck glide - with compatibility for regular pucks
Surface texture and material formulation are designed to replicate low friction typical of ice when used with standard hockey pucks. Tile edges lock together to maintain a level plane so puck behaviour stays reliable across the mat.
Passing and stickhandling practice feel more accurate, letting players translate off-ice improvements straight back to ice sessions.
Use anywhere training - thanks to weatherproof treatment
A weatherproofing treatment protects the surface from moisture and general exposure, allowing safe use both inside and outside without rapid surface breakdown. The snap-fit system keeps tiles stable on flat, dry surfaces.
Sessions can move from garage to driveway to club gym, providing flexible practice spaces without worrying about quick wear from light outdoor use.
