Boards and shielding built around safety, sightlines and service.

Dasherboards are part of the sport environment, the public experience and the maintenance route. IRM coordinates the full perimeter package with the rink geometry.

PERIMETER SYSTEMS

Protection should not compromise the view.

The board and glass schedule must cover impact, access, visibility and replacement.

IRM helps define board height, glass type, kickplate, player gates, penalty box access, officials' gates, service openings and connection details. Selection is matched to hockey intensity, training use, public skating and the required maintenance routine.
