Zamboni

The Zamboni cleans and smooths the ice by shaving off the old surface and adding a fresh layer of warm water, which then freezes. This self-driving machine makes it easy to keep the ice in good condition. In hockey, having smooth ice is crucial for fast and precise play, so the Zamboni helps keep the rink perfect. By using the Zamboni regularly, the ice stays even and safe for players.
