Thanks for watching!

[@willvance3]

"How Canadian do you want this to be?" "Yes"

[@LeroyandLeroy]

Lol.

[@MarcKaiser]

Amazing! While everyone else just gets to speculate about the viral drawbridge video, Leroy & Leroy actually get the behind-the-scenes exclusive!

[@LeroyandLeroy]

Thanks!!

[@LeroyandLeroy]

It was a lot of fun!

[@janetblake8195]

Is this not the most Canadian thing ever ?? Seems like a great community. Love it!

[@LeroyandLeroy]

Nice!

[@StephenOKane]

Excellent stuff, reminds me of local Gaelic football and hurling clubs back home in Ireland - community run and driven.

[@amandarombaut8573]

Leaving our skates there, not scared of them being stolen. Letting others borrow them 🖤

[@LeroyandLeroy]

Nice!!

[@suzannep]

That drawbridge would have me shaking in my skates. Extra intimidation factor for the away team 😂 they pass out before they hit the ice

[@LeroyandLeroy]

Lol.

Used to clean and flood the old rink in Sydney NS the same way back in the early sixties. That is the origin of the term "Rink Rat". Games need twelve to fifteen teens to clean and flood between periods so we got in free and were called Rink Rats. Good on this town for keeping everything within the expectations and budget. If more kids had to clean and scrape they would appreciate what they have more. Ang good on Leroy and Leroy for great, FUN, coverage.

[@LeroyandLeroy]

Learned something new, thanks!!

[@adammckenzie6074]

God damn and here in toronto a rink rat jjyst the kid that lives at the rink cause their mom and dad dont want to deal with them lol

[@lauxmyth]

Found most all the cliches. I was surprised by the Nordique sweater and not the one from Habs. Thanks to Tom Scott.

[@yanobou]

What a blast! Played there in the 70’s when I went to school in Wilcox… at the end of practice everyone got a shovel to scrape:)

[@LeroyandLeroy]

Nice!

So what's the difference between natural ice and artificial ice? I thought frozen water was frozen water... Is it that most ice rinks aren't that cold, so the ice doesn't get as hard?

[@russduff]

You are correct, frozen water is frozen water. The difference in terms is in how the water is frozen. Rinks with artificial ice have machinery that pumps coolant through the ground under the ice to freeze the water. Think of your freezer at home. Rinks with natural ice have no equipment to freeze the ice. The ice freezes because it is that cold outside. Think of a frozen pond that you build walls around. Did you notice that everyone was dressed warm and there was ice on the walls of this arena? That's because it was -20 degrees (or something like that) outside, and there is no heat inside. If you go to a professional game anywhere, you don't even need a coat inside. Probably 99% of rinks today are artificial ice.

[@AbigailPoirier]

@russduff I did understand that they relied on outside temps to freeze the ice instead of coolant, what I didn't understand was WHY that made a difference. Like the guy said, natural ice sounds different--and, from what I understand, also feels different. I've skated on both types of ice, and to me, there just isn't anything better than a nice, smooth, frozen lake, but I attributed the difference to the care of the ice, not the manner in which it was frozen. Like "rink ice isn't as good because it gets torn up by so many skates, then only a thin layer of water is applied to smooth it out." But maybe it's actually because rinks are so (relatively) warm, the top layer of the ice stays just barely frozen. Is that what you're saying?

[@russduff]

@@AbigailPoirier The main difference is the temperature. The colder the ice, the harder and more brittle it is. If it is too hard/brittle, skates will actually have less "grip" (for lack of a better term) while stopping and turning because the ice will chip away. Too high of a temperature, then the ice gets slow as your skates dig in too much. Because this rink is SO cold, you can hear the difference when the puck hits it, or as skates cut into it. Kind of like knocking on a piece of hard oak, versus a piece of soft pine.

[@AbigailPoirier]

@@russduff Very cool. (No pun intended, lol.) That makes a lot of sense, thanks for explaining!

[@AbigailPoirier]

@@russduff Do you know anything about Olympic ice rinks? Seems like even though it's artificial ice, they'd hopefully do what's needed to have better ice than, say, a municipal rink in Florida...

[@wetasspaddington]

now this is a fun thing

[@j.h9939]

Do they flood after every period for games?

[@LeroyandLeroy]

Great question!! I wish we would have asked.

[@yanobou]

Well, not in the 70’s. The ice is so hard that you don’t get all the slush and gouges. For important games they’d scrape with shovel. The most work is edging along the boards where water/ice builds up. The edger, makes it flat but makes an incredible amount of snow that has to be shoveled out:)

[@itzscoutstiktok6374]

That's me and my cousin lol 😂

[@LeroyandLeroy]

Thanks for helping film!

[@iconsumeworlds]
