ODE TO RINK SYSTEM PLAYERS' STALLS by ED PEDUTO The rink manager was aging, and so were his rooms He couldn't see it, his job was almost doomed. When what to his wondering eyes should appear, but Stacey & Schafer at a tradeshow full of rink repairs. Rink Systems has player stalls of red, white & blue a rainbow of colors, they'll make them for you! The new stalls were ordered, the room was prepped, a coat of paint was applied, RSI flooring was schlepped! The rooms were updated, the players were beyond pleased, any talk of new management was immediately eased. The old manager pledged loyalty to Rink Systems with all of his might, and to Stacey & Schafer he thanks them EVERY night!

We absolutely love our Pro Net Caddies! For 26 years, we’ve dragged our nets around, risking potential injury. We’ve tried all sorts of different methods of moving the nets and none worked very well. With the Pro Net Caddies, we can easily move the nets on and off the ice and into their storage location. No more rust spots on the rubber flooring either as the nets and frames dry out between use. I highly recommend the Pro Net Caddies!!!

"We're very happy with our Dominion rental skates. We use both the figure and hockey skates in all sizes. They look great, offer good support and are really durable. Our skates get moderate to heavy use all year round. Our customers love them too, they say the skates are very comfortable and fit well. Thank you, Rink Systems!"

Rink Systems is community driven and has given us personable service for all our rink needs for many years. We get compliments that our rink looks brand new even after 2 years of use. Going with a company that manufactures their own dasherboards was the best decision we ever made. Rink Systems is the clear choice us.

“Rink Systems did a fantastic job of renovating our rink. They were very helpful in guiding our crew with putting kickplate and cap rail on our existing boards. We had a deadline that we needed to obtain and with Rink Systems' expertise, our goal was met. I highly recommend Rink Systems for all of your hockey rink needs.”
