The ice feels dry as we walk on it. But once the Zamboni goes over it, the wet ice is really hazardous and you can hurt yourself. |
There is no certification for our Zamboni drivers, but we look for people who have experience with machinery. For instance, once you get to the red lines, you need to turn the water off or too much ice builds up in the corners. There is a science and an art form to maintaining ice. |
