A lot more happens on the ice than one might think.
What used to take a team of people hours to do — shoveling, scraping and hosing— a Zamboni can complete in 10 to 15 minutes.
David Bennett is a Zamboni driver, a job that's as fun as its name. It's basically a glorified lawn mower, but for ice.
"You have a certain pattern, and you know it as you're trying to make sure everything is level, and everything is nice," Bennett said.
Tim Horn, facilities specialist at Peaks Ice Arena, said it's not as easy as it looks.
"It definitely is classified as a skill. You can develop it over time,” Horn said.
Horn said he was an amateur the first time he drove the Zamboni, but he had a lot of fun.
"It was just like so exciting and so awesome, and I was terrible at it. I made terrible ice. I missed spots all over the place, but it's still fun 10 years later," Horn said.
The Zamboni cuts the ice with a 77-inch-long blade, collects the snow, washes the ice, creates a slush that fills in the imperfections, lays fresh hot water on the surface and dumps the excess snow.
There are different brands of resurfacing machines, but Peaks Ice Arena uses Zamboni, named after its inventor, Frank Zamboni, who was born in Eureka, Utah.
Bennett is a hockey player and loves the ice.
"This area has been a big part of my life," Bennett said.
Being a Zamboni driver at Peaks Ice Arena is just another excuse for him to be out on the rink.
