IceCourt MultiSport Tile Floors
After 5 years, IceCourt’s famous inline hockey tile floor, used for the 2001 Inline Hockey World Championship and ESPN’s Pro Beach Hockey is still the flattest, tightest fitting and most rigid tile floor in the world, holding up to the harsh environment of hockey and skating. With five injection points, our MultiSport floor will remain flat; it will not cup at the corners after a few months.
