Abstract: A surface for ice skating purposes comprised of a multiplicity of discrete flat components formed of extruded resinous material with the same being edgewise interlocked. A lubricant of water and a glycol is applied to said surface for heat dissipation purposes, and promoting slickness.

Abstract: An ice skating surface of artificial or non-refrigerated character which is constituted of a multiplicity of discrete panel-like components each of which are preferably of identical construction for ease of assembly and replacement. Each component is desirably of square form being fabricated of moldable material and having a thickness in the range of 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch. Each component is provided along its edges with alternating tongues and cavities of complementary contour for interlocking relationship with the corresponding elements on the confronting edge of adjacent components so as to form an integrated surface wherein accidental parting of the components is reliably inhibited.
