One funny thing -- at intermission, instead of the tiny zamboni coming out to resurface, all of a sudden there were 3-4 people out there with snow shovels "shaving" the top of the ice, then they attached a hose to one of the field spiggots and sprayed the ice and then squeegied the water around to smooth it out. The Zamboni was sitting off to the side and was eventually pushed away -- I asked one of the people who were out on the ice what was going on, and they said the zamboni broke down and this was the only way they had to resurface the ice! I've never seen it done that way, and it wasn't perfect, but it did do the job and the skaters handled it like pros. It was pretty funny to watch.
that's so cool! poor Zamboni though!!!! (I cheer on the zamboni at skating events, I'm a big dork LOL)
