Marsblade

Overview

Marsblade is a hockey equipment company specializing in off-ice training products and roller hockey skates built around patented Flow Motion Technology (FMT). The brand serves hockey players across all competitive levels, from NHL professionals to recreational and youth players worldwide. Marsblade is known for developing training tools that replicate on-ice skating mechanics off the ice, addressing a gap in the off-ice training market where skating had been largely neglected compared to stickhandling and shooting aids.

History

Marsblade was founded in 2011 by Per Mårs, a former professional hockey player who conceived the idea for Flow Motion Technology in the mid-2000s. The core technology, sketched on a napkin in a restaurant, was later patented and became the foundation for the Marsblade brand. The company expanded from its Swedish origins to establish offices in both Sweden and the United States, growing its product portfolio to include off-ice training rollers, performance-focused roller hockey skates, and the I2 skate holder.

Notable Products

Reputation

Marsblade is recognized as a leader in off-ice training technology, with its products adopted by elite NHL players and used across recreational to competitive levels. The brand is credited with innovating in a previously neglected category of off-ice skating training. However, the company's fiber-reinforced plastic construction has limitations under high-impact play, with warranty coverage limited to manufacturing defects rather than standard wear, which may be a consideration for aggressive players.
