People about REALice®

Thank you Sustainable Peterborough for the Energy Award for our REALiceCanada project at the Ennismore Community Centre! We can’t wait to put another system in in Lakefield!

Ice made with REALice is resilient and strong & allows for a faster and better Hockey Game.
Guido Lamberti-Charles, Hockey Coach, Euroelitehockey - www.euroelitehockey.com
Our staff and users are completely satisfied with the switch, in fact if we hadn’t told users about it they wouldn’t even have noticed the change. On top of that, we are already seeing reductions in our gas and electricity usage.
Tony Liddle, Operations Manager, Kerry Park Rec Centre, Mill Bay
The change in the ice is hard to describe -- it just feels denser.
Allen Van Velzen, Sunshine Coast Regional District
I’m happily surprised because it works. My compressors never run! I'm getting notes from my staff -- the compressors aren't running any more. I can't wait to see my next hydro bill.
Larry Woodley, Manager George Bell Arena, Toronto - http://www.gbha.ca
Our compressors are running approx. 25% less and the load on the hot water boilers is down over 50%. With this, we estimate on the Hydro side alone over 87'000 kWh in savings during the 7 months operations period.

We are very pleased with the results of the REALice system thus far. The users have reported very hard, consistent, and fast ice. The ice also looks very clear and has a nice sheen to it.
Zion Cruz, Fraser Lake, BC
