Rave EZ Set Ice Rink 200

★★★★★ I review when I can but had to say something for this rink so people would know this thing is the real deal. It works as perfect as I could ask or expect. The rink is well made, it's material is hard yet elastic enough to cover a stick or rock just fine. It's strong enough to pull up with ice in it to correct any balance issues as well. This rink is very easy to balance out using sand if your yard is slanted. I wish I had ordered a bigger one but at the time was unsure of the product. If I could do it again I would go bigger and make it fit as this is a versatile system. I have built rinks before and I won't again as long as these are around in good sizes! There are no expensive 2X10's ect....I could put two together even without much of a notice. Well done!

★★★★★ My kids have always wanted an ice rink in the backyard but my husband and do not have the DIY skills to make one. So I was thrilled to find this ice rink. Be sure to follow the instructions, but basically all you need to do is lay it out on a flat area that doesn’t have rocks or sticks, prop up the sides with the side support brackets, fill it up with water, and wait for it to freeze. The company recommends making layers of ice over a few days so that’s what I did and it worked great. The little side supports are a nice feature too to help keep the sides up before the water freezes. There is a little slant in my yard so one side has around 5 inches and the other has a bit less. We packed a bit of snow around the perimeter to keep the sides extra stable. Works great and the kids are having a BLAST.

★☆☆☆☆ This product was a huge waste of time and money!It was difficult to set up, never did get it completely filled before it ripped and my son never even got to use it.

★★★★★ Passes are quick, passer is heavy - can't wait to use it on real ice!

★★★★★ Purchased it for my son to train at home. He loves it! Can be used on or off the ice.

★★★★★ Great for at home work outs!

★★★★★  My enemy is an incredibly dynamic training tool you can use off the ice to improve your hands and your hand coordination in lots of different ways. What is so unique about this product is that it is adaptable. You can put it in any shape you want to walk on various different skills while you are off the ice pretty much everywhere where you like to practice. In terms of the ways it has been constructed it has a series of joints or pivet points. And that is what makes it so dynamic and allows you to move around so freely. This is what separates these conserve training aids from fixed training aids.This thing is so compact and incredibly light. It’s a kind of training aid that can travel with you.

★★★★★ I thought I had already written a review but I'm glad the company asked me again.This is probably the most important off, even on, ice tool that I've gotten. I got it for my son and was recommended to me by his coach. I was asking what I can do to help him as a beginning player and was looking at this and a shooting pad. My son's coach said that in any level, stick handling is important, it doesn't matter how fast you can skate if you can't get the puck where you need it.This helps because it forces you to have a set plain where you have to loose contact with the puck and reaquire it. It's not stick handling when you're just rolling the puck, or in this case the ball around, mimicking action. You need a hard line to basically break contact with the puck and anticipate it's trajectory.The app it comes with also makes it fun and less monotonous. Specially with the ability to change angles. Definitely worth it!!

★★★☆☆ Does the job, but it's not very durable at all and slides all over the place on tile/concrete. You have to be flawless or you'll be moving it back into place at every mistake. The video I saw showed a player standing on it without breaking. If you stand on this version, it will crack. The app is a bit glitchy, but it works for the most part. Good for working on eye/hand coordination by not looking at the puck/ball because you're staring at the screen. I purchased this because it's adjustable and you can move it into zig zags, straight lines, or U shape. For that purpose alone, it's worth picking up. 3 stars for durability and being too light.
