I found the products Sno-Seal and Sno-seal silicone called Water guard for synthetic leather at 3 VETS in Downtown Vancouver on 6th and Yukon.
Yesterday I tried the Sno seal I found after putting it on with a hair dryer it worked really well for the protection and sliding I would say it improved sliding about 15%
After the game I took off the Sno Seal they same way I put it on Hair dryer and a mister clean pad. I put the Silicone on yesterday and tried it tonight. I would say that my Butterfly slide is faster by about 40% and the distance is no problem as I always stopped with my outside foot anyways. As the game progressed(I played 2 back to back game) was that in the later periods I could still slide very well even though the ice was kinda getting chewed and soft. I am going to stick with the silicone for now and try it for a few more games. One thing I noticed if you can't control your slide
you just keep going. It made me think of Alex Auld from the Canucks His pushes are so strong he completely slides right out of his net.
Although control issues are at the beginning of the game with silicone at the end it is a blessing.
Cheers to all and thanks for all your input
