Made in Finland

Did you know that you can find a skate trainer factory in Finland, the land of Santa Claus?

The TykeSkater skate trainer was designed and developed together with its users and Finnish ice sports professionals: professional athletes from ice hockey and figure skating were involved in its development. The TykeSkater is 100% manufactured in Finland, and thanks to its practical applications it is one of the most popular skate trainers in Northern Europe.

Finland – the land of a thousand lakes

Did you know that Finland has more than 150,000 lakes, a coastline of 1,250 kilometres and more than 3,800 skateparks? Winter sports clubs can be found in almost every town. There are also 230 indoor ice rinks and more than 2,000 public outdoor ice rinks.

Why do more and more schools choose a TykeSkater skate trainer?

Over 80% of all schools have their own ice rink on the school grounds in winter, so children have the opportunity to learn to skate during physical education classes. Most of these rinks can be used by everyone free of charge outside school hours. In other words, skating is a big part of hobbies and recreation in Finland.

Who still believes you can become a professional ice hockey player without training first?

From the very beginning, many boys dream of becoming professional ice hockey players, just like the NHL players. But ice skating is not only a sport for boys: girls take up ringette with enthusiasm. Ringette is a popular winter sport, especially in Finland and Canada, where it was invented. It is similar to ice hockey and was originally intended for women. Some girls want to learn figure skating to be princesses on the ice.

Who else needs a really good skate trainer?

Ice sports clubs offer skating lessons to their juniors from the age of three, so skating schools have many students and new enrolments every year. However, they often do not have enough staff for all the children. That is why skate trainers are an important support: several children can learn to skate safely at the same time. Each season, more than 100 children start skating in ice sports clubs. The robust TykeSkater skate trainer can withstand several years of this demanding use, which makes it economical for any operator of an ice rink or skating area.

Finnish children also learn to skate in kindergarten

Children are offered ice skating lessons as early as kindergarten. Kindergarten teachers would like to support and guide as many children as possible, so safe learning aids are needed. The TykeSkater is the ideal skate trainer for all age groups and makes skating on the ice safe. Proven, durable and reliable: TykeSkater. Tukimet also offers special accessories suitable for both children and adults with disabilities, so people with disabilities can skate safely on the ice, even with a companion.
