Marsblade AB
Per Mårs from Östersund played professional ice hockey for Brynäs and was drafted by the Columbus Blue Jackets in the NHL. He identified a need for better preseason training and started wondering about a solution that would provide an inline skate with the same feel and characteristics as an ice hockey skate.
He found it by placing the rounded shape of the ice hockey blade between the shoe and the inline blade. This patented technology can also be used on traditional skates, long-distance skates and for cross-country skiing, and product development has already begun in these areas.
The project is run by the newly started Marsblade AB company in cooperation with Peak Innovation. Per Mårs has studied Sports Science and SKARP Business and Product Development at Mid Sweden University, where he also worked on the blade.
