	Ice resurfacer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An ice resurfacer is a truck-like vehicle used to clean and smooth the surface of an ice rink, originally developed by Frank J. Zamboni in 1949.
		Ice resurfacers are needed because usage (such as ice hockey and figure skating) creates many pits and ridges in the ice.
		The heart of an ice resurfacer is the conditioner, a large device dragged behind the vehicle.

	Ice rink - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Many ice rinks consist of, or are found on, open bodies of water such as lakes, ponds, canals, and sometimes rivers; these can only be used in the winter in climates where the surface would freeze to a strong enough thickness.
		Periodically after the ice has been used, it is resurfaced using a machine called an ice resurfacer.
		One such team of professionals was responsible for placing a loonie coin under center ice at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah; as both Canadian teams (men's and women's) won their respective hockey gold medals, the coin was christened "lucky" and is now in the possession of the Hockey Hall of Fame.

		In an ice rink, because a strip of ice several inches wide along the dasher boards cannot be reached by the blade of an ice resurfacer, a build-up of ice at the edges is inevitable.
		An ice edger is a device, typically similar to a rotary bob, which is used to cut away this build-up, usually by plowing a trench a bob of an inch deep so that the ice resurfacer can form a level surface at the edge.

	Geo Ice Rink Liners, Ice Resurfacer, Outdoor Ice Skating, Portable Backyard Hockey Rinks
		Estimate an additional 5' of ice rink liner in both width and length to obtain the ice rink size you desire.
		With an ice rink size of 60' x 90' and with an 18" pitch it would take a friend and yourself about 4-5 hours to complete the old way of stake and sideboard construction and about 30-40 minutes to lay out the ice rink liner.
		When your ice rink is just for children, you can go smaller and be very satisfied, as they don't need a huge ice rink to make it feel huge to them.

		From a smooth ice surface to a smooth trouble free operation the Olympia is the world standard in ice resurfacing technology.
		Resurfice was also chosen because of its continued growth in the ice resurfacing industry to it's present world leading position, with 80 per cent of the new ice resurfacer market.
		The 53 foot trailer delivers both the world's finest and most innovative ice resurfacers, and the message that the Olympia is the smoothest running ice resurfacer which gives you the smoothest ice surface possible.

		Answer: Ice resurfacers are designed to do several things at the same time as the machine is driven over the ice.
		The wash water tank allows water to enter the ice surface in front of a squeegee which makes slush with the shavings to help wash the ice and fill in the deep gouges.
		The original ice resurfacer was invented by Frank Zamboni of California in 1949.

	Andover - Ice Skating
		The word "Zamboni" is synonomous with an ice resurfacer but, in actuality, it is the family name of the man who invented it.

		Harrison was much more than a coach to his players, as he provided a model of leadership and sense of integrity to his role on the athletic fields and ice surface.

	ICE Research - Relevant Links
		Indoor ice rinks are used for all sorts of sports and recreational activities, including hockey, figure skating, and speed skating, and in all of these sports the quality of the ice makes a big difference.
		At ordinary pressures the stable phase of ice is called ice I, and the various high-pressure phases of ice number up to ice XIV so far.
		The interface between ice and air is not always a simple boundary, and near the melting point the surface undergoes a "surface melting" transition, forming what is sometimes called a quasi-liquid layer.

		The Seely Ice Wizard was developed and tested at one of the nation's only private indoor ice skating facilities, Southampton Recreation Association, where Scott and Ed are Board members and Directors of the ice skating facility.
		With seasonally warm temperatures in the southeast United States, the ice condition became poor after a few months, as the skating surface was too thick for the ice chillers to cool.
		The men developed a resurfacer built out of a Sears Craftsman lawn tractor.The first scraper blade was attached to the tractor by a car scissor jack; a water tank was attached to a trailer and pulled around the ice surface.

	Environmental Defense - Press Release: Indoor Ice Rinks Pose Air Quality Problems From Resurfacing Machines
		A survey of 332 ice rinks in nine countries reported in the October 1997 Journal of the Air and Waste Management Association (www.awma.org) showed that indoor ice rinks use resurfacers powered by propane (59%), followed by gasoline (28%), diesel (10%), and electricity (3%).
		US and Canadian ice resurfacers are almost entirely powered by propane (which creates high nitrogen dioxide levels) and gasoline (which emits carbon monoxide).
		Air quality at indoor ice rinks is affected by how an ice resurfacer is powered, whether a combustion-powered resurfacer contains a catalytic converter, the type of ventilation system and its hours of use, the use of a combustion-powered ice edger, and the frequency of resurfacing.
