How It's Made - Hockey Rink

[TallRobby]

but will it blend?

[LeProutski]

woohoo 4:52 GO HABS GO!

[Ateamgrl]

I saw an ad for the tell us museum near-ish Atlanta.

[GamingandMetal6]

dam thats alot of work going into making a hockey rink

[Yunituber]

If they make a mistake during painting, can they clean/scrape it off?

Or does all the work have to be redone from scratch?

[equap]

yey how its made ice rink yeyy

[showshow299]

This is in Canada!!! I see Tim Hortons!

[CustomMapCinema]

2 people have to paint ice for their life.

[wolfcatsden]

They should show them making the ice with a hoses as well

[CJstylez]

2:02 Looks like he's really enjoying himself. Lol.

[iviperific]

Why do they paint it just leave it clear?!?!?

[CrazyLegoMan24]

@iviperific So you can see the puck on TV.

[firup69]

how did they measure my dick

[StrikerlandMovies]

@firup69 IN Milimeters

[firup69]

@StrikerlandMovies thats what mom didnt say

[desjaraah]

some funny comments here?

[spurlockmedia]

@Balinne haha yup, my same thought too!

[ninjajesus81]

That would suck if you were making that circle and you go all the way around and the two ends don't match up. You're fired.

[icemustang]

he he he god i remember doin this at crossmyloof ice rink glasgow

[SasquatchGroove]

im only here because it 4 in the morning and im bored as shit

[SoulStreetable]

@SasquatchGroove make it 7 in the morning from a hangover and lack of sleep.. all in one night... other than that. Kudos!! hahaha!! Like fuck... amazing stuff!

[balinne]

This was far more interesting then I thought it was going to be. Haha.

[glamergirl1011]

BRUINS WON STANLY CUP WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

[magaline2008]

This is Montreal, Bell Center rink :-)

Go Habs, Go for the 2012's Stanley Cup

[wewd]

@magaline2008 Patrick Roy put a curse on the Habs, they won't win another Cup!

[magaline2008]

@wewd Please, let me dream :-)

[KidsDestroyChiptune]

i dont even no the hockey rules, American Football is my sport. I dont even think this show took in consideration on the artistic side of making the ice rink. I would have never known the logos were hand painted. holy fuck.

[antdude]

Is it me or was that only one person working?

[iSqueak]

GO CANUCKS!

[PGOLDEN88]

Did they do this process for the Rink at 30 Rock?

[boogleben9]

go montreal

[jcudal32]

Thumbs up if you are watching playoff right now.

[camponeill]

Ok, but whats the process of removing the choke from the LA Kings defense?

[masterofcola]

what if they slipped and fucked up the paint job when it was almost done would they have to re paint it or completly re do the ice rink

[TheJack0Phantom]

MONTREAL CANADIANS YEAHHH!!! I cant belive they actually paint it by hand SKILLZ!!

[FOGaming123]

the ice maker is also called a zambonie

[mustang6172]

@FOGaming123 Zambonie is a brand name for ice resurfacer.

[dreasim]

very cool to watch

[350z89]

Rogers Arena VANCOUVER is the best !!!!

[hotdrumchick]

Wow! I always wondered how they did that. They have to do this for every game, too.

What if they have both a matinee B-ball game AND an evening hockey game??

[Jschwan1]

@hotdrumchick usally most rinks just cover the ice re doing the ice would be to expensive and just a pain in the ass

[hotdrumchick]

@Jschwan1 Thanks for the answer, but you didn't read the question.......THAT'S what I want to know.

[iHateTheTerrorists]

@hotdrumchick No they don't ;)

look at this video: "NHL to NBA in 3 mins - the transformation of the ACC"

[Quy4life]

i wonder what happened if those guys painted the circle crooked? Someone going to get fired?

[disengagejam]

very intriguing process -- cool info to know !

[JDJAKS]

Question: Do they do this multiple times a week at Arenas where they feature more than one sport or team? Example: A.C.C. hosts the Leafs, Raps and sometimes concerts, so what do they do to transfer from being NHL and NBA ready? Melt and re-do the ice constantly?

[1800PUCK]

@JDJAKS No, they just cover the ice up and put the basketball court over it.

[JDJAKS]

@1800PUCK makes more sense that way i guess, thanks though, i really wasn't sure aha

[Durham101010]

@JDJAKS your fucking retarded buddy the put wood flooring down

[JDJAKS]

@Durham101010 hahaha wow, someone miss their period? no, i'm not fucking retarded, i asked a general question and just because you can't cure your raging desire for a hard cock, you faggot, you come on here and chirp

congrats, its youtube, we all know you're not tough

[iHateTheTerrorists]

@JDJAKS Nope,

watch this video on youtube: "NHL to NBA in 3 mins - the transformation of the ACC"

[ILikeWeatherGuy]

whoaa! i didnt know that! xD i thought they used koolaid! :D

[awsomeofthecool]

@Galastin yeah true,but the goverment's tax makes it way cheaper.thanx 4 reminding me.

[awsomeofthecool]

@TheBradical10 we do not suck! Our country lets you go to the hospital for free and we are wayway healthier.did you know that 40.5 percent of your country is obese?who sucks now, eh?we also get better education(i can also prove that by looking at the way you spelled "canadians". I am proud to be a citizen of canada!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!

[Galastin]

@awsomeofthecool There is no such thing as "free" healthcare. You may not pay upfront, but trust me, everyone pays someday.

[2rreeaall]

@awsomeofthecool I am from Canada, and i'd probably never trade the health care we have for the states or anywhere else, even though it is pretty shit, the wait times and all, I just like the comfort of knowing that if i get sick or hurt I will be dealt with and not have to worry about the price, but trust me buddy there are many cons. Secondly, the states pump much more money in post-secondary education and there schools are nicer just there scores are low, but if you want to learn you will.

[JFVrantique]

He seems so discontent with his life. Dead expression.

[angeldarklcd]

This is the "pro" way to do it. On our home rink we have cheaper easy ways to "paint". Cool video though!

[TheBradical10]

canadiens suck

[pashaahsj]

SO.FREAKING.AWESOME.PERIOD

[v4j78y16]

0:53 Tim Hortons. xP

[hootiez69]

this is the process for shitty ice

open hose gets the best results 

[hootiez69]

gdfgdfg

[MagicGonza91]

it just seems the ice shines

[Ozyman73]

@TheWitchOvAgnesi According to an article I read they cover the ice with homasote, 530 four- by eight-foot, one-inch thick insulating boards that are laid over the ice before the basketball floor is put down.

[TheWitchOvAgnesi]

@Ozyman73

Huh, I guess that makes a lot more sense than what I was thinking would be involved. Actually, taking out the ice would make no sense whatsoever. LOL.

Someone's bound to have posted a video of it here I'd imagine.

Thanks for the info and the upload!

[spyderf16]

@Ozyman73

That is correct.

It would be too costly and take too much time to manually melt down the ice. Especially at places like MSG where there could be a concert one day, then a Rangers game the next.

[Galastin]

@TheWitchOvAgnesi Here in SLC we have a smaller arena for a hockey team. I once played on the basketball court that they just laid right over the top. It takes too long and too many resources to melt the ice. You can actually feel how cold the ice is from the edges of the court.

[Edawg649]

@TheWitchOvAgnesi no, they put stuff over it.

[kaylaisahotty]

I Like Hockey ^.^

[28clockwork]

fucking ell people even argue over a ice rink behing made jeeeez

[lcarnegie4]

long process to paint the logo's dang

[Mookkandcariia]

paint the ice never saw that coming

[HockeyBladesLogo]

I've always wondered how they put the graphics on the ice surface of a hockey rink. Now I know and so will anyone who watches this video.

[kekecom]

@HockeyBladesLogo hahah i wanted to know the same

[giannitodaro]

THATS RIGHTT GO HABSSSSSSS

[orthner79]

They used 2 different rinks for this

They do the white at a smaller rink and the logos at the bell centre

[Prim3StaR]

This is the old-fashioned way of doing it. Nowadays, they use large, seamless slabs of wood that have the markings on them. They just bolt the peices into the bare cement and frezze over it. The ice is 1/4 an inch thick.

[burnuts007]

@Prim3StaR no your way off! they dont bolt wood to the slab!

[Prim3StaR]

@burnuts007 You obviously have no idea what you're talking about. GTFO.

[burnuts007]

@Prim3StaR hey guy i know more than you! guy do some research before you open your mouth... you have no idea what your talking about! cement then bond then whitewash clear coat ice paint then build ice then playing... ice wont maitain on top on sheets of ply wood! and bolting anyone who knows anything about ice knows you dont anything in the slab due to piping 1/4 under the slab!! so u can try and shut up!

[bobby472]

Im going to try this out when we install ice in aug. We just use a hose, it sucks. We have to wrap rope around it so it wont melt into the ice, or have a few people constantly moving it around. Just using the zamboni is a good idea.

[burnuts007]

@bobby472 for sure ! just make sure u have some ice above the white wash before putting in ur logo.. u'll have it out in 5min

[hahanikka]

gay ice

[BooyaaPwned]

im with u

[2pacalypse25]

makes me wanna go to the rink ahaha

[Grillinnap]

During the first month of the season, they have the "Face-Off" signs in the neutral zone. How do they take them off? Do they have to melt the ice all over again? Same thing when they have to add "STanley Cup Playoffs" when it's playoff time.

[Ozyman73]

Either they melt the entire rink and redo it or maybe they use the Zamboni to shave the ice down to remove the painted area. Likewise when they want to add a graphic they shave the ice down to the depth desired, paint the graphic and refill the area and level it out.

[crapper1]

nope they shave the ice and put white paint down resurface it and thats how that works to get the lines back they shave the ice till the lines are visible again thats how they do it near me

[MikeDegen8]

@Grillinnap theres different compressors to cool the ice.. so they can melt one section and keep the rest frozen.. all they do is melt it remove the water paint it and re freeze it

[burnuts007]

@MikeDegen8 actually the whole rink is done by the same compressors and you cant melt sections... all we do is paint the logo on thicker ice then the rest of the paint markings and shave the logo out with the machine when its not needed anymore!!

[xXDANEILIOXx]

@Grillinnap This is a good video. But idk how valid this is. Maybe some arenas do this. But i know for a fact Madison Square Garden doesnt. They use tiles of ice that they bring in and just place down for every game. Once the game is over they shovel off the ice and put on the wood for the basketball court. One the tiles the logo and the lines and everything is all painted on already.

[masterofcola]

@xXDANEILIOXx maybe because some arenas arent used for basketball but the ones that do they dont have the the time to freeze a rink so they just use the tiles

[luongo823]

@Grillinnap Its a sighn they place under the ice that says faceoff, after or when playoff time comes the melt the ice over it and change the sighn to " NHL PLAYOFFS" then re frease the ice over it

[luongo823]

@Grillinnap Its a sighn they place under the ice that says faceoff, after or when playoff time comes the melt the ice over it and change the sighn to " NHL PLAYOFFS" then re frease the ice over it

[BloodyBodom]

When there are show's in , let's say Belle Center, do they cover the ice with a giant mat or what?

[ominus011]

@BloodyBodom do you mean the "Bell Centre" in Montreal?

[prorobo]

Yes they cover with rubber mats and floor boards like any other arena. There's plenty of videos on Youtube that show the process too. It takes about 2-3 hours for a good turnover crew.

[themainewoods]

what happens if one of the painters fucks up?

[screilly]

Damn this show kicks ass!

[terp4life59]

I LOVE THIS SHOW

[Scott62895]

me too

[greendaylover12345]

It doesnt waste any water at all. Do you think water just disappears? The water goes right back into the atmosphere when finished with.

[kimchijeegeah2]

the guy hates his job lol. you can see it in his face

[whynotcw]

the first arena is in victoriaville,qc

home of the Victoriaville Tigres

2nd is the Bell Center in Montreal

[Palamneus]

That dudes got a steady hand

[boipinoi604]

I had a feeling it was Montreal

[helloimtess]

i always thought there was 3ft of ice i never imagined concrete. not sure why that never clicked.

[QcSportsMan830]

Awesome

[TheSteelFocus]

thats cool

[WantYourSoul]

i used to think there was like 10 feet of water below the ice...

[TheCalgaryFlames]

Same here lol, I never thought there was concrete, my bro always said that it would be cool if San Joke Sharks had Sharks under ice in water.

[NoobsNoodle]

Go Flames Go!!!!!

[96batman96]

that would be cool to have a shark tank under the ice so you can see the sharks while they are playing

[Tsarocksmysocks]

so you really can't sink in ice if it melts..

[Twank93]

wow i thought it wer really thick ice

CANADIANs (N)

GOOO RED WINGS

[EvolutionIXRR]

this sport waste so much water.....

[prorobo]

You waste so much air.

[jordanfudge]

MCRbryarxxx .......Habs are the best team ever......... LEAFS LOSERS SINCE 67!!!HAHAHAHA

[MCRbryarxxx]

booooooo habs, GO LEAFS GO!

[OneManArmyExpert]

Zam-bony ;)

[DybboB89]

ice resurfacer? wow americans are stupid u can tell its the american version of how its made...its called a Zamboni machine!

[Ozyman73]

This is the Canadian version, the American version uses a male narrator. So who is looking stupid now?

[giannitodaro]

@Ozyman73 you still are cause u americans are all fat fucks k thanks

[Ozyman73]

@giannitodaro Was I talking to you, gianntardo?

[giannitodaro]

@Ozyman73 pretty much bud

[RayStyles300]

@Ozyman73 giannitodaro is mostly likely a fat ass himself and is pissed off because he can't lose weight

[kekecom]

@Ozyman73 i don't understood, do they paint over the white ice??

[ymember3]

@giannitodaro Im canadian and even I believe thats BS, have you ever been in the states, not everyone is fat (though there is a high amout of overweight people)

[giannitodaro]

@ymember3 Yah i have been, most of them are fat 

[ymember3]

@giannitodaro No they're not, you're a plug

[giannitodaro]

@ymember3 omg dude learn your facts, they are 80% Fat thats most of them..

and did you ever watch the movie '' Super Size Me '' it says in tehre so shut up and stop backstabbing your country.

[ymember3]

@giannitodaro 80%??? really?? cause when I go to the states I dont see 80% of people being fat! how bout you drive there for the weekend and look around. 80% is BS

[giannitodaro]

@ymember3 Ovbiously not 80% is where you went, its more down south like Houston is one of them. But if u stay around New York not that much mostly down south. But i am being honest USA is 80% fat people

[ymember3]

@giannitodaro I dont agree with anything you're posting but I like you because I enjoy your profile picture, keep on it!!

[ebtricks]

@giannitodaro The Habs are shit and so is the city of Montreal.

[giannitodaro]

@ebtricks LMAOOOO thats why we made it to the conference finals??

and Montreal is one of the greatest citys we get more celebrity visits than your fucking gay city and Montreal is a party city mother fuckaaa party all nighttt

[ebtricks]

@giannitodaro Yeah, to get raped by Philie. Fuck, you even got rid of the guy who got you there (Halak).

You judge a cities quality by it's celebrity occupation? If that was so, Hollywood would be the best place on the planet, while it's really shit. Montreal is fun for you dirty French fucks, but I prefer Denver, one of the healthiest and cleanest cities in the States. Not only that, but your fans are even shittier. It's no fucking wonder that Roy left Montreal to come play for the golden Avs.

[giannitodaro]

@ebtricks your a fucking retard what team do youi go for avs?? they didnt make it far eat hsit faggot

andd firsttt well if celeberity come here more that means its more popular than the shity denver faggots andd are streets are really clean and one of the best bus transportation in the world and second im not french but heyy its always good to learn another languagee u faggots in the usa only wanan speak english cause u guys are fat fucks and DENVOR NUGGETS?! LMAOOOOO what a name nice one

[Denis543]

@giannitodaro bro not all americans are fat ya dumb fuck, almost every nhl player lives in amaerica and they arent fat you fucker

[giannitodaro]

@Denis543 your sucha a fucking retard MOST AMERICANS are fat, and thats a fact, and bro ur sucha retard DO YOU SEE ANY FAT NHL PLAYERS?? ovbiously not you have to be in shape to play hockey

[Denis543]

@giannitodaro are you retarded, its not a fact its a fucking stereotype you prick, fat people are everywhere not just america you goon, where the fuck do you live, im sure i can talk massive shit where you live...

[giannitodaro]

@Denis543 DUDEE ITS A FUCKING FACT!

CHECK THAT FUCKING SHIT ON GOOGLE, AND ITS ALSO A STEREOTYPE BUT ITS A FUCKING FACT YOU DUMB FUCK now stfu your getting me nervous

[Denis543]

@giannitodaro dude show me the exact website that shows all americans are fat...

im getting you nervous? that makes sense you genius...

[giannitodaro]

@Denis543 omg your such a fucking RETARD learn how to read i said MOST of americans are fat

and yes your getting me nervous wich is i just wanna crack your fucking face right now

[cheesemonkey421]

Be careful when you make prejudiced comments. It is an "ice resurfacer." "Zamboni" is a brand name! Just like "Olympia," another brand. (Zamboni was the last name of the guy who owned the business.) And you seem to be missing both shift keys, except for the Z in Zamboni. It's as if you knew it was a brand name, not a generic noun. Yet you couldn't write properly. As a rule of thumb, if you are calling people stupid online, use proper grammar. Otherwise people laugh at you. No hard feelings.

[KPZ2U]

Not only that, you f*cking moron. She clearly stated that it was a custom machine they made, fitting sprayer nozzles onto a ZAMBONI machine. Ignorant mother f*cker. America will kick your ass.

[DybboB89]

haha u guys lost to Puerto Rico by the mercy rule lol u didnt even last to play the 8th inning...lol...we'll (or the russians or swedes) c u guys in vancouver in 2010 and kick ur massively obese asses outta this planet

[prorobo]

Football sucks. Why are you watching a hockey rink video if you hate the greatest sport on Earth?

And Puerto Rico is worthless in every way, shape, and form. Jennifer Lopez is your best representative and she's a whore (and was born in NYC to boot).

[10ronaldinhoomar]

Hockey is a great sport, but it's not the greatest.

[prorobo]

Sure that's your opinion. But it is the most exciting and combines the best of all sports and therefore tops the charts.

[SpeedyTase]

Seriously, Puerto Rico is the Trailer Park of the Carribean. Who needs it? Team Canada Mens Hockey team is going to suck in '10. You'll have Crosby guiding the team. She sucks!

[aveman3]

lol Zamboni machine

[sowhatweareallhuman]

@DybboB89 Not everyone who watches How it's Made Knows what its called which is why they have to make it "idiot proof" and this is Canada's version. You are making yourself look stupid.

[JoDaddyy]

Cool not important facts. Imagine if it looked grey, that would look so weird and stupid.

[DetroitRedWings80]

outdoor rink need water pipes

[Simulator8101]

wait, is there like a different voice fore every country or something?

[ApplesNCrapholes]

I always thought the ice froze white

[macsftw]

Yeah same, or the underneath the ice the material was white, never realised they painted it.

[lookout4bombs]

GO HABS GO !!!!!!!!!!!

[xxHockeyGuy91xx]

awesome vid!

[bludika]

why dont they just use plastic sheets, under it instead of painting wierd

[hockeylaxk]

because the plastic melts the ice

[bludika]

no, im talking about thin white plastic sheets, like as thin as printing paper.

[GFVagent007]

They can do that for the line markings, and definitely do it for sponsor logos and such, but there are difficulties with doing it that way as well.

[WantYourSoul]

cause its cheaper to do it the other way

[sparrisen]

Dumb as i am i always thought that they had at thin white plastic sheet on top of the concrete with all the logos, lines and circles on it. And then you put the ice on that.

[EpicImports]

I have played hockey all my life and I thought a plastic sheet was used also. Glad I watched this vid.

[ahuntsicbrave]

well i find it weird that they used the bell center...cuz its actually a different system of freezing the ice...they freeze it from underneath so when they have concerts and stuff they just put planks over it

[thewhitekone]

they do that every where

[jrmonarch11]

i do that for a leaving it is so fun and pays so well you meet so many cool people

[XcrazyguitarmaniacX]

leaving??? don't u mean living?!?!?!?!?!?
