darthchilli, I happen to have a big sheet of plastic in my garage for shooting practice, and it's pretty good depending on the friction on it. Obviously it won't be ever as smooth as real ice and if you're shooting with shoes on the ground, there'll be some height difference from skates but worth the practices in my opinion. Taken 1000's of shots on it and it's helped me immensely on the ice so far, great time killer if your wrists ain't killing you or anything. If it's big enough you can practice some stickhandling drills too.

need to find myself this plastic piece
