Building An Ice Rink | How Do They Do It?

[@rowanahedley9578]

I always wondered how an ice rink was made

[@usborn1]

This is the way these guy make it, other my use an aluminum floor. In the old days the use to use pipes set in sand and sawdust. Time change everything. I use to put it down for Ice Capades.

[@thomaspowers1487]

now a days the ice stays in the rink all season long, untill the end of the season, they can cover the ice for other event's such as basketball

[@grahameverett2676]

This is how they do it for a day. In nhl rinks they cool a concrete floor and the concrete is painted

[@NickBirdManeS]

I heard they took water and froze it

[@burnuts007]

Graham Everett concrete isn’t painted the ice is.

"No one wants to tell a group of hockey players their rink looks like an 80's cocktail." Now that's a good writer, god damn.

That was one engineering marvel indeed.We should definitely appreciate those men behind the screen.

[@Ye4rZero]

I love how these shows make multi-million dollar projects seems like a complete gamble if they're even going to work

[@lobetec314]

I'd expect them to use a bigger hose for water

[@usborn1]

I put down the ice floors for ice capades from 80 to 85. I was done a little different then this. We could put down a floor 60 feet wide and up to 160 long. We would make the ice using an everyday garden hose with a spray nozzle. It could take up to 24 hrs to make the ice. Two guys, one at a time would trade off for 8 hrs walking backwards spraying water. A little at a time slow and steady is how it is done. The stuff they use in the tube is the same as what we used, ethylene glycol as you would know it by Antifreeze or they may use propylene glycol it is less toxic.

[@chicohaze787]

Here use mine. 🍆 💪 Sorry bud but you set yourself up for that one.

[@chicohaze787]

There in a stadium were would you expect a bigger hoses.

[@thiswillprobhrt]

Nah, it’s the rate of cooling that limits progress. Putting more water on there too fast leaves you with rough, weak ice with air pockets.

[@CD3MC]

Meanwhile in Canada: people make rinks in the back yard

[@TheJere213]

But gotta say it's easier in the north during wintertime lol. When I was in elementary school we would make our own ice rink to the school by just spraying water into the rink during every break we had (during winter ofc) until there was thick enough layer of ice to skate on

[@itchyboobers]

They make rinks in backyards and in streets in Michigan too

The making of this nice rink is very interesting. However, one of fond memories is my brother calling me from this same stadium during a game. I could hear the crowds cheering and he was so happy to have prime front row seasonal seats every year. Sadly, he passed away unexpectedly a few months ago. I sure do miss him. As he would say ....Go Blue!!! University of Michigan.

[@sun4502]

How costly is it to maitain the ice ? Do they need indoor or outdoor stadiums will do as well.

[@throwmilly]

Idk, but they did it here in Dallas for a stars game at an outdoor stadium recently. Temp was 40's I'm sure that was expensive, and it could have very well been in the 60's or 70s as the weather here flip flops so much.

[@RR-ph6zy]

That's alot of work for an ice rink. I get free ice in Canada every morning

[@throwmilly]

I'd absolutely love to be able to go and skate everyday. I'm in Texas, and we are cold weenies. I don't mind it if I am out skating or going some sort of physical activity.

[@leonardoaruca1]

Pretty cool to see the tubes fill with glycol.

[@limitedhangoutlive]

It’s all fun and games until you realize we’d be screwed without engineers.

Selanne is golden at the end.

[@usborn1]

The is a bit different then when I did it for Ice Capades. We used 30 foot long floor sections, butted them together in the middle to make a floor 60 foot wide, we could go up to 160 foot long. We used garden hoses and sprayed the water on almost non stop for up to 24 hrs.

[@abeblue]

what an intersting job

[@ElliottVeares]

How is the water going to freeze if the glycol is 10 degrees? That's 10 degrees above the melting point of water!

[@g.1600]

Elliott Veares you mean 10 degrees above to freezing point of water

[@ElliottVeares]

Yes, and I assumed the Celsius scale.

[@hellohi304]

[@johnm6693]

Why didn't they just use white or clear glycol

[@hughmungus2946]

because

[@modelrc9500]

John M makes it easier to tell if it’s flowing

[@johnanders8861]

It also notifies you if there is a leak somewhere, as once the glycol leaks, then dries, it leaves pink powder where it was. If it was clear there could be a huge leak on the ice surface, and no one would know until the ice had a giant hole in it.

[@derek6115]

John M pink is cheaper

Ok we get it flint has bad water. Now how about you go and remove almost 50-100 years worth of plumbing infrastructure and work on locating water for the entire population and changing the water source of the town. Because that's what their doing. It takes time to change an entire fucking populations infrastructure.

How to build the perimeter of the rink so that the water doesn't leak out?

The cooling mats to a decent job of retaining the water and you don’t lose a lot if you’re doing small layers. You can use liner also, basically a tarp.

Towards the end of the video did he say it was, "pitch perfect"? I've never heard that term before. Obviously , "Picture Perfect" makes sense and is used more commonly, but unsure if the other term is used in other countries more regularly. I know it's kind of a nit-picky observation and question.
