Shooting is a fundamental hockey skill. If you want to score goals, practice shooting to get the power, accuracy and quick release that all great goal scorers have! Seems obvious doesn't it, but did you know that shooting is the least practiced skill? It's tough to find a good place to practice: and when you do find some space, pucks and sticks don't move on tarmac, cement or grass the way they do on ice.
PRACTICE ICE is the high-tech solution to an age old problem: how to practice shooting without ice.
A PIECE OF THE RINK Lay PRACTICE ICE down on virtually any surface -inside or out- and presto! you've got a piece of the rink to practice your wrist shots, slap shots, snap shots, flip shots and backhand shots! Just about anything can be used as a shooting target: Darryl Sittler used a piece of canvas hung between 2 trees, and Eric Lindros used an old mattress leaning against a garage.
PRACTICE ICE wasn't around then, and the pros had to make do with old pieces of plywood or acrylic that shattered in the cold.
