Ok so i just got a nice new composite stick and made myself a new goal, but i dont want to use my new hockey stick on cement and risk ruining it. I have been using my smooth garage floor but it didnt work all that well. I have found a hockey "skill pad." http://www.americanhockeycenter.com/.../skill_pad.htm and http://www.hockeyshot.com/prod_sh_shoo.htm and another example of one http://sportsplus4-store.stores.yahoo.net/tohoshbo.html so here is my question. What type of material do you think this is made of? I know a plastic but what could i pick up at a home improvement store for much less than that. And maybe like 5' by 5'. It needs to have close to the slipperyness (if that is even a word) or friction as an ice hockey rink would have.

Thanks for all your help, i know this is an odd question.

 

100% unobtanium

mayby some kind of teflon?!?!?

Pfleghm...

3-day-old Mayo that's been left out in the sun too long?

that stuff that coats pennies sitting on a desktop, that you can NEVER seem to pick up without slidding it off the table?

That same stuff that coats the inside of eggshells?

I give... WHAT?!?!

 

probably a sheet of UHMWP would work best, but it will not be cheaper than the ones you posted above.
