Ice Removal Start to Finish

[@mode1charlie170]

I never thought it would be as labour intensive as this. Cool video.

Zamboni makes a Squeegee attachment for the front end that works great for pushing out excess water.

This video is extremely informative, as are all the others. Thanks to your videos, I know more about the ice than my boss! I'm the only one at my work who has a passion for this, and your videos educate me in a way my bosses don't know how to. Thanks for allowing me to fulfill my passion!

[@YourLocalIceMan]

Thank you. I feel that I still have a lot to learn too.

Hello, is it a fun job, thinking of working as ice cleaner. More info is appreciated. Thanks.

Hi I’ve got keen on the ice rink because my grandson is a mad ice hockey player & is currently in Finland for his first season at the sport.

[@pluto3603]

wow.. my local ice rink did this and i assumed it was changing the ice.. i think they shut down :(

[@devoamigo3303]

The fact that I wanna drink it so bad is frightening

[@buwp]

this vide is aweome!

[@EarthPoweredHippie]

Interesting, so the white is painted, and the crease and center symbols r like a vinyl sheet type deal? How do I get this job?

[@bokehbohm]

sweet process and sweet music, 10/10

[@ShieAyla]

It's like frozen milk......I never knew.

[@ncochran01]

Interesting. I've seen a lot of arenas paint the logos and the creases. I was shocked to seem the being picked up off the ice. How do you get things to lay so flat and be lined up correctly.

[@FourWayStudios1]

Tell me why I thought it was a frozen lake

[@UploaderNine]

We actually paint our ice. I notice the logos were sheets frozen in.

[@YourLocalIceMan]

Yes our logo is a mesh logo as well with the creases. I wish we could paint. Still have a bunch of rolls of paper someone order years back. I did a STAR class where we painted the Everett Silvertips logo and all the lines. Paint is a much cleaner look. Thanks for the reply.

[@Evan-hockputer]

Every line on the ice is not painted? Also, you have to use a zamboni to melt the ice? How does that work?

[@kevinpariseau8307]

Cool video. Question: what is harder, putting the ice in or taking it out?. How long does it take.

[@77dris]

From what I've seen, taking it out looks like a lot more work.

[@yeltsin6817]

Just wondering how long after you shut the fridge systems off does the ice start to go soft and can begin extraction? Cool video and the song rocks. I would have picked Working For the Weekend though! Lol

[@YourLocalIceMan]

Since we wait until it's mostly water, it takes a good 3 to 4 days.

[@calvinbaII]

@@YourLocalIceMan How long did it take to scoop out all the water and slush? Multiple days?

[@swishhydrotrip6299]

First comment in a year

[@partyguy9]

What's the reason for doing this?

[@YourLocalIceMan]

We had to pull the ice out and shut down due to covid.

[@ryanoord1985]

Great video, the song is not very appropriate for kids. The instrumental would be fine but the words are not.

[@YourLocalIceMan]

Thank you for the input I appreciate it. However, I do not make videos for kids. When posting a video youtube asks if the video is for kids and I check no. My videos are for people who maintain ice rinks and ice resurfacers which are adults. I see the song as very appropriate given the way I took the ice out. "I got to do it my way..." That is why I used the song. The guys voice is just pain awesome too, leaving it out would not have the same effect. Sorry I offended you, that was not my intentions. Take care.

[@ryanoord1985]

Ice Rink Diaries I am sorry you feel that way. You are representing an organization that has youth. You posted it on a public forum that youth can visit. Again the video is great and awesome you posted. Just really bad choice of music for youth or people that don’t like sexually explicate songs.

[@Dodger24]

@@ryanoord1985 You seem to misunderstand how KZbin works with what videos get recommended to kids ages 13-16. If the creator marks the box that its not made for kids then it'll only get recommended to those that are 17+ and might have an interest in this kind of video. Anyone younger would have to deliberately search for this channel and at that point KZbin and the creator are not at fault. Besides, kids wont know what the song is supposed to be about, just like they dont know what half the songs on the radio are about (hint: they're about sex). The lyrics dont have anything to specifically point that out

@@ryanoord1985 so are you accusing me of exposing youth to sexually explicate material? What are you trying to say, Ryan? Seriously man what are you saying? That is a mighty accusation you are laying out. I do not take kindly to people talking nonsense that I am exposing youth to inappropriate material. You better think before you run your mouth anymore buddy. PLUS I did NOT post it on a forum that youth can visit. I can not control who shares my videos. I am not repressing anyone but myself. This channel has never claimed to be with any sports organization. I never gave you or anyone else that impression. Although I film what I am doing at work that is the extent of it. I do everything else on my own time without any support. Countless hours of preparing and editing all on my own time. Someone will always find something wrong with anything. Because of you I will now put disclaimers in all my videos.
