Ok when i was little i was going to the circus and realised it was the same place i had saw disney on ice a month before so iw as expecting elephants on ice scates when i got it i was so dissapointed
Did they show how the ice gets put down for the hockey configuration? I always thought the ads were painted on the white surface before the ice is put down over it. I don't see how they can keep setting up and removing an ice surface, do they just melt and drain it and have to pour water in there and freeze it?
Depends on the venue. The Anaheim pond (Honda Center now) have a cover system they put over the ice for non hockey events, then when they convert back to hockey they just scrape the top layers of ice and add new clean ice. Back in the early 2000's I was a stagehand and did a few concert setups there during hockey season. The ice is a total of 0.75" - 1.5" (19mm- 38mm) thick so when they lay the ice they put down a couple of thin layers before painting the ice white, a couple more layers before adding lines and logos, then a few more layers until they get to full thickness.
Yes, the ice is typically underneath the rubber floor, but in this video, they actually make and paint the ice. When there's a basketball game or a concert, they cover the ice with the rubber floor and afterwards, they take out the rubber to reveal the ice.
Unless you enjoy sitting there and watching water freeze the changeover to hockey is actually pretty boring because once they put the seals along the boards and erect the glass there's nothing to see until the ice is frozen and then painted. Watching them set up for concerts and WWE are much more interesting. There's a reason I say this... Most of the "magic" you can't actually see because it takes place beneath the concrete floor. Under the concrete floor is a system of pipes that carry sub-zero brine water that feezes the floor surface. Once the floor is cold enough they dump water on it and it freezes like a puddle on the ground. Once the ice base freezes additional thin layers are added until the near-desired thichness is achieved, at which time the surface is smoothed, painted, and then given a final couple of layers of top ice. Once the game is over, the water is evacuated from the pipes and the heaters are brought out to melt the ice down the drains. That's really it. Some of the new arenas have simplified the process even more. In some of the newest arenas, pre-painted non-thermal tiles are laid directly onto the concrete floor and then the ice surface on top. This is more efficient because it eliminates the need to paint the ice, however, it does add time to the deconstruction, as now the crew has to remove what is essentially another tile floor.
Man that's a lot of work!

Just the opposite I saw the Ringling Bros first in the Checkerdome, then wonder where the ice came from?
this is so lovely
amazing!
Damn it we lost a piece
Wondering what the people in some of the back seats behind baskets can see
So speed of light do exist.
Do??? Does*
They didn't show the last step of making the ice!
Industry secret.
Ok, The Flash is real.
Lol

Hey its the real life Maze Bank Arena
my question is still where does the ICE go??? it looks like they take it up.. but it's still there under the rubber right?????
it's not real ice

Why did they subfloor for basketball when the ice wasn't even in?
Basically like a "big art attack" LOL
They cover the ice with an insulated floor
The canadian flag threw me off, I saw ontario and was totally confused..From Toronto....ONTARIO. Canada
I'd love to see this up close to really see how they do this .. with the ice rink.
