Rink Systems

In the high-speed, high-contact world of hockey, the design and construction of rink elements play a pivotal role in shaping not only gameplay but also the safety and well-being of players. Among these elements, Hockey Dasherboards—those perimeter structures that enclose the rink—serve as more than mere boundaries. They influence how the puck travels, how players absorb impacts, and how the rink stands up to repeated wear. This blog explores how aluminum hockey dasherboards impact three critical aspects of rink performance: puck behavior, player safety, and structural durability. It offers insight into how material selection contributes to both game flow and risk reduction. The Impact of Material Choice on Performance Every element in rink design contributes to the outcome of the game, and dasherboards play an active role in shaping gameplay dynamics. The stiffness, resilience, and consistency of the boards affect how the puck bounces, how players interact with the perimeter, and how t...
