Elite hockey training center investing in XTRAICE

Online, May 24, 2010 (Newswire.com) - XTRAICE has been chosen by Redline High Performance Hockey, an elite hockey training school located in British Columbia (Canada) to help its students further develop their skills in the sport.
XTRAICE will be used to upgrade Redline's synthetic surface areas in its mini-rink and around the skating treadmill.
Redline Hockey Skating and Skills Coach Derek Strukoff said the decision was based on his wonderful experience when he first skated on the XTRAICE ice. Strukoff said: "The first time I skated on XTRAIXCE ice I was instantly amazed. The puck and skate blade glide was much more natural than our current surface. It truly felt like I was on real ice."

XTRAICE is a Spain-based company which has emerged as the market leader when it comes to installation of artificial eco-friendly ice rinks. On what led to the decision to go with XTRAICE. Strukoff said: "With the current surface we have there is much more resistance and friction which provides an unnatural feeling when stick handling and skating compared to the XTRAICE surface."
Strukoff feels XTRAICE is as good as if not better than the real thing. He said: "I decided to really test out the XTRAICE surface by doing some more high performance skating skills. I was very impressed with how I could perform each skill the same way as on the ice. Many of the skills I performed on the XTRAICE surface I would not be able to duplicate on our current surface with the same comfort and technique."

XTRAICE has till date landed several lucrative contracts solely based on its expertise when it comes to synthetic ice products that are also environmentally-friendly. The company has undertaken projects throughout the world including for prestigious organizations like Euro Disney and the Florida Panthers of the NHL. Customers have expressed their full satisfaction with the product and the work done by XTRAICE.
As legendary skater and World, Olympic and European champion Surya Bonaly says: "On XTRAICE, skating is much more smooth than on other synthetic ice." The Florida Panthers of the NHL, too, have said XTRAICE is the best synthetic ice surface available on the market.

XTRAICE continues to win fans everywhere and with the Redline deal, many aspiring young hockey players will also see its many benefits.
