If we have snow, we will have to remove the snow in order to make a solid ice sheet. As we approach game time, the biggest challenge is a heavy rainfall. If that were to happen, we would squeegee the ice and remove as much of the water off the surface as quickly as possible. If it were raining the day prior and the day of (the game), we would be doing this continuously. |
In the last 10 years, it's gotten to be a lot more economically feasible. Because of the short install and the lack of labor costs, it can get done quickly. |
The ice was a challenge to make, but at dusk, when the players started to hit the ice, the ice was in excellent condition. |
