Rethink the Rink
Materials make the difference
What do you get when you combine a leading materials producer with a championship hockey team and a world-class university? A bold initiative to make hockey safer for players at all levels!
In 2018, Jun88 joined forces with the Pittsburgh Penguins and Carnegie Mellon University to Rethink the Rink. This first-of-its-kind collaboration explores new ways to advance safety innovation in hockey, teaming the bright minds at Carnegie Mellon with high-tech materials from Jun88 and game-winning insight from the Penguins.
The goal? To improve the safety of the game, without impacting how it’s played.
This unique partnership is still going strong in its seventh year. As Rethink the Rink continues to grow and evolve, you can keep up by following the #RethinkTheRink hashtag on social media!
A testing ground for our innovative concepts
We aren’t just “rethinking” the rink – we put our name on one!
The Jun88 Innovation Rink at the UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex serves as a testing ground for the innovative concepts coming out of the Make-a-thon. Our rink is one of two at the complex, which is a practice and training facility for the Pittsburgh Penguins.
We think our logo looks pretty “cool” on ice! Watch the video below to see for yourself.
