All Year Sports Galaxy

What All Year Sports Galaxy does

All Year Sports Galaxy is a privately held, founder-operated LLC headquartered in Wheeling, West Virginia that rents, sells, and installs portable skating surfaces for events and permanent facilities. Founded in 2007 by former Ukrainian National Team ice hockey player and 2002 Winter Olympian Vadim Slivchenko, the company offers a turnkey portfolio that includes synthetic ice rink rentals (Super Glide panels), refrigerated real ice rink rentals, portable roller rink rentals, and direct sales of Super Glide Commercial Grade and Super Glide Ultra panels alongside ProWall dasher boards, goalie systems, and roller court tiles (ProStep and SoftStep). The underlying technology centers on engineered polymer panels with a patent-pending interlocking system, a proprietary Ice Blue surface with lifetime-embedded lubrication, and a subfloor membrane that enables outdoor installation on grass or gravel without electricity or water. The company monetizes through quote-based event rental contracts (pricing driven by surface size, duration, season, and destination), one-time panel sales, professional skating shows and lessons, and public skating programming. Customers include corporations, municipalities, shopping centers, schools and universities, museums, sports/entertainment properties (e.g., New Jersey Devils Arena Entertainment), tourism bureaus, and homeowners across the United States, Canada, and select international markets, with the company self-describing as one of the largest artificial ice rink operators globally.
