We have received nothing but great feedback of how well our new arena looks but especially the logos in the ice. Parents our telling our operations staff of how excited their young children are to play hockey at our building because the ice looks like NHL teams ice. Our staff, management and myself cannot be happier of how it turned out. I appreciate all your efforts very much.

I would be remiss if I didn’t pass along my sincere thanks to you and your staff for the great paint job that your company did on our ice at the J.L. Grightmire arena for the 2014 Allan Cup. The producer from TSN (who carried the championship game live across their entire network) commented to me how great our ice looked. Don Robertson, owner of the Dundas Real McCoys was effusive in his praise of ICECO’s commitment to excellence – a big part of being able to host and showcase one of the City of Hamilton’s facilities on a national stage.

Over the past twenty years I have scheduled ICECO ADVANCED ARENA PRODUCTS for painting our ice surface white at start-up. Every season Brian has done an excellent job. We have received many compliments from our ice users about how bright our lines are above the white ice. I have seen other facilities where there have been dark spots or shadows with the lights on. With the five arenas we have Brian paint, he has always taken his time to thoroughly provide a clean and solid white sheet.

We are proud of our brand new facility. We strive for the best for our user groups and with ICECO and ICECO brand paints/ logos, and ICECO’s ice painting service, we know that our rinks will look their whitest and brightest. Thanks, ICECO!

Our facility is always looking for ways to use innovative, environmentally friendly “green” technology…..we bought ICECO’s Electric Stealth ice paint spray system and it is truly amazing – no harmful emissions, no noise – you can barely even hear it spray on our ice surface! Our operators love driving it. A state-of-the-art green product! Leave it to ICECO!

Harry Jeschke, Manager of FacilitiesTown of Cobourg

Over the years we have purchased our circle painter, line paint and accessories from ICECO . We have built a friendship over the years and Brian has been very professional with us. The first time ICECO painted our first sheet, Brian suggested the temperature he would like the floor to be to provide a good seal. ICECO arrives on site and within three hours our ice sheet is painted and clean up is completed. Every season I have been extremely satisfied with the workmanship and cost related for their services.
