FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

FITNESS DEPOT Commercial announces partnership with Strong Hockey Innovations and EZ Glide 350^® Synthetic ice surfaces

Canada – August 15, 2009

Across Canada, ask a parent or coach and they’ll tell you, demand for ice time is at a premium.

“Where I live in Cambridge, Ontario, there just isn’t enough ice to go around. It affects everyone, but it’s especially hard for younger skaters to develop their skills. So when we heard about EZ Glide 350^® synthetic ice, we saw an opportunity to get involved.” explains Greg Lawlor, Vice President, Sales And Marketing for the Fitness Depot Group.

Fitness Depot Commercial is the exclusive distributer of EZ Glide 350^® synthetic ice.

Designed to be used by regular ice skates, EZ Glide 350^® synthetic ice is an all-weather surface that functions like frozen ice-skating surfaces.  The surface comes in approximately 4′ x 8′ sheets, requires minimal installation and maintenance, and has a 10-year warranty.

Fitness Depot Commercial’s national reach made them the right choice to distribute EZ Glide 350^® explains Steve Mai, COO of Strong Hockey Innovations, the Canadian supplier of  EZ Glide 350^®, “We are very excited about working with the Fitness Depot Commercial. It gives us an opportunity for communities across Canada to try our products.”

So how good is EZ Glide 350®?

Fantastic, according to Lawlor, “their ice surface products are the best of the best, in terms of quality and space required. It’s a fantastic opportunity to get more people active in skating.”  Big names like Disney agree. Disney On Ice is using EZ Glide 350^® as are professional hockey players and skating associations.

Fitness Depot Commercial will be introducing EZ Glide 350^® surfaces to select stores in the coming weeks. Opportunities to try EZ Glide 350^® will be available at a Fitness Depot store near you. For more information contact gregl@fitnessdepot.ca
