Synthetic Ice Training The Ultimate On-Ice Advantage
Synthetic ice training at State 48 Hockey Barn provides the authentic feel of real ice with the added benefit of unlimited repetition and focused skill development. Unlike crowded public sessions or expensive private ice time, our synthetic lanes offer a dedicated space to refine your stride, perfect your shot, and sharpen puck control with no wasted minutes. Training on synthetic ice builds strength, improves skating mechanics, and enhances shooting power due to the slight increase in resistance—giving players an edge when they return to traditional ice.
At only $50 per session for our 16'x28' rink (accommodates 3 skaters) or $80 for our 24'x28 rink (accommodates 5 skaters), synthetic ice training is one of the most cost-effective ways to get high-quality "ice time" without paying rink fees or competing for space. Players get the same training benefits as on-ice practice—plus faster improvements in strength, technique, and endurance—all at a fraction of the cost of renting ice.
More reps. More skill. More confidence.
All for as low as $50 (That is as low as $16 per skater)
State 48 Hockey makes elite training affordable, so every player has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
Take your game to the next level with our shooting lanes, available in 50-minute sessions starting every hour on the hour. We recommend booking your lane online in advance to guarantee your spot, as availability can fill up quickly. Walk-ins are welcome when space allows.
