“The (Super-Glide) skating surfaces at Extra Hour are specifically designed to mirror real on-ice conditions by allowing the player to wear their hockey skates and use their game stick. This feature provides the player the ability to skate, shoot, and stick handle with the same stick flex, angle, and player height that occurs in game situations. ” – CATHY ANDRADE, Owner & Operator of Extra Hour Hockey Training Facility has been successfully operating since 2018 and impacting NorCal hockey.

After a master class on Super-Glide synthetic ice in Belgrade, Serbia: "It's a fantastic way for hockey players to train and develop their stick handling skill, their skating and shooting skills and it's so much fun."
SEAN SKINNER

"I worked with my son for a week on our Super-Glide® Home System. He scored three goals his next game, he never scored a goal before. Thanks."
PAUL CAVALLINI NHL PROFESSIONAL
Played for Washington Capitals, St. Louis Blues, Dallas Stars.
"I was able to pay off the loan within a month into the operation of my rink. Almost all startup businesses take loans and pay them off over a period of 3, 5 or 7 years. It is rare to have a business that pays off all its startup costs and turn a profit with its initial project. My first installation was a tremendous success and I was able to turn a profit after paying for all my startup costs within 3 months."
"Synthetic Ice has been around for awhile and quite big in the United States. And since in Canada, everyone talks about the lack of ice hockey rinks, I wanted to try to find a way to resolve the problem, so I did my research and between the four companies that produce synthetic ice, Super-Glide was the best. I have tested the product, skated on it and with all honesty I can say Super-Glide is the closest thing to real ice. On top of that, they have sold over 500 rinks around the world and are very successful. Their full size rinks are having huge success." (2011).
GEORGE LARAQUE
During his 14-year NHL career, he played for the Edmonton Oilers, Phoenix Coyotes, Pittsburgh Penguins, and Montreal Canadiens.
"Our entertainment center opened less than a month ago (July 18, 2020) and so far we are only collecting feedback from visitors. At the moment they are all positive! And the children are just happy! In a country where there is never snow, there is now a year-round ice rink! Thank you and look forward to further cooperation!"
IRINA CHEKMACHEVA
Owner of N'ICE PARK Quarteira, Portugal
"The first time I had stepped onto my Super Glide rink I was instantly impressed. Other synthetic ice surfaces claim to have an "ice-like" feel. That is simply untrue. After skating on several of the competitors’ products, there was no comparison. Being a competitive figure skater for 20 years and now a full-time coach, I am always looking for the best training tools in the industry. In just two weeks, I have seen all of my students gain strength, balance and speed on the ice. Within one hour of using Super Glide for the first time, my students were performing all single, and double jumps with ease. Super Glide is the ONLY synthetic ice surface that figure skaters can utilize successfully to make them better, faster. Thank you Super Glide!"
