MORE ABOUT THIS

: An ice dam finds its primary application in multifunctional arenas, acting as a perimeter for the ice surface where boards are mounted to prevent them from penetrating the ice. This design enables disassembly even with ice present. Constructed modularly from steel, the ice dam can be customized to various sizes. Another advantage lies in its high flexibility, allowing for easy removal and installation of the board system throughout the ice season.
: The quick assembly system is essential in multipurpose arenas, enabling rapid setup and dismantling of the dasher board system. This feature facilitates smooth transitions between different events in the arena and allows for efficient and cost-effective handling, even by personnel without specialized training.
: This protection system is used to secure advertising and can be easily and quickly replaced in the case of significant damage or limited visibility. The advertising protection consists of a 4mm thick polycarbonate plate that is tailored to the individual board elements.
: Within the internal structure of the boards, a layer of sound insulation material is strategically placed between the frame structure and the paneling. This serves to effectively dampen impact noise, a critical consideration for both spectators and live broadcasts, ensuring acceptable sound levels. The sound-absorbing material can significantly reduce the sound level of the puck by approximately 7-8 dB. This system is regularly installed in board systems situated in residential areas or open ice rinks where minimizing noise disturbance to residents is paramount.
: The outside covering system acts as a protective shield for the boards, offering both safeguarding from external elements and a sleek, aesthetic finish. It effectively conceals and protects the inner structure of the boards. Additionally, the surface can be utilized for displaying information or advertising, adding a functional dimension to its design.
: Depending on the safety regulations which vary by region, certain types of glazing are mandated. Our boards are engineered to accommodate both tempered glass (ESG) and acrylic glazing options. This flexibility allows you to select the appropriate system based on your specific needs.
We also offer systems for seamless transition between ESG and acrylic. For international IIHF tournaments, acrylic glazing is mandatory and proven to be a reliable protective solution in ice arenas. Over the years, we have continuously enhanced our acrylic glazing to provide our customers with boards featuring the safest protective glazing available
: Acrylic is mandatory for international IIHF tournaments and widely recognized as a trusted protective glazing for ice arenas. Over the years, we have consistently enhanced our acrylic glazing to ensure our customers receive boards equipped with the safest protective glazing available.
: All net protection systems can be tailored to suit your ice arena's specific needs. The entire board system can be outfitted with a net along its entire length or only in designated areas as needed. Nets can also be ordered separately for additional protection in other areas. The net protection system can be attached to the boards or protective glazing using brackets. Nets are available in various colors, thread thicknesses, and mesh sizes. We also provide mechanized net protection systems that can be raised and lowered in multifunctional arenas.
: All board systems can be furnished with player, penalty, and referee boxes. We also provide a conversion system for rapid adaptation to Para Ice Hockey requirements. The dimensions of the boxes can be customized in terms of height, length, and width, suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The equipment of the boxes can be tailored to our customers' preferences, offering benches with or without backrests and bottle holders integrated into the boards or seating area. Additionally, the box for officials includes tables and chairs.
: In addition to traditional boxes, we also provide goal judge booths for your board system, ideal for playoff games.
: To complement the goal judge booth, you can also order a goal light system for the goal judges. This system helps provide clear goal indications, ensuring fairness in the game. The goal light system is integrated into the ESG or acrylic glazing using LED strips.

MOTION

LED-dasher board

Digital, animated LED advertising enhances the level of engagement of attendees and broadcast viewers. Studies have demonstrated prolonged observation time and improved information retention among viewers compared to simple printed banners. The LED banners can also facilitate real-time interactions with the audience through animated graphics containing game information.

QuickAdapt

One system, many sizes

Adjusting the rink size and dasher board is made possible thanks to hydraulic pistons. With this innovative technology, we have greatly simplified the rink conversion process for many of our clients. QuickAdapt allows your ice rink to meet the requirements of various competitions and regulations within a matter of hours. You can easily change the size of your rink from NHL regulation to IIHF standards by removing or adding board elements and activating the piston mechanism.
