"Introduced" him to ice, maybe? It's usually translated "to know", as in "took him to know ice", but I think "introduced" works better here.

The thing is "conocer el hielo" gives you this feeling of playing and experimenting a new sensation.

It's more like took him to discover the ice, but I don't think I can translate it accurately, though the differences are subtle, they're there.
