What Makes Glice the Best Choice?
Glice was called to replace this low-grade, unsightly yellowed rink at a hockey facility in Vancouver, Canada. The rink turned color after only 12 months. Glice’s incomparable quality product saved the day, giving the Canadian company multiple years of a pristine and beautiful skating surface.
