The main market for ice hockey rinks
Europe is one of the most mature regions in the world for ice hockey development, with many high-level professional leagues, youth training systems and a complete ice hockey cultural system. Countries such as Russia, Sweden, Finland, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Germany and Austria not only have a large number of professional teams, but also actively invest in the construction and renovation of ice hockey rinks.
According to the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF), Europe has the largest number of ice hockey venues in the world, and it continues to grow every year. Sweden and Finland rank among the top in the world in terms of the number of ice hockey rinks per capita, and Russia is promoting youth ice hockey training programs nationwide. Therefore, from new projects to the upgrading and renovation of existing venues, the European market has a strong demand for high-quality fence glass.
At the same time, European customers also have strict requirements for product quality, environmental standards, design customization and after-sales service. As an important part of the safety and viewing experience of ice hockey rinks, hockey rink glass wall are transitioning from traditional materials to higher strength, safer and more beautiful tempered glass.

Why do ice hockey rinks use tempered glass as fences?
In ice hockey games, the puck flies at a very high speed, and athletes collide with guardrails very frequently. Traditional plastic or ordinary glass materials cannot withstand such a large impact, so tempered glass has become the first choice for hockey rink glass wall. The reasons include:
- High strength impact resistance
Tempered glass is 4-5 times stronger than ordinary glass, and can effectively withstand the impact of high-speed flying ice hockey and the impact of athletes sliding at high speed, ensuring the safety of athletes and spectators.
- High safety of breaking
Even if it breaks in extreme cases, tempered hockey glass will break into small particles with blunt angles, which is not easy to hurt people, and its safety is much higher than ordinary glass.
- High light transmittance, good viewing experience
Tempered glass has excellent transparency, allowing viewers to watch the game clearly, especially suitable for TV broadcasts and live audiences.
- Strong weather resistance, adaptable to different environments
Whether it is an indoor ice hockey rink or an outdoor venue, tempered glass can withstand complex environments such as temperature difference and humidity, and maintain long-term stable use.
