Zamboni operator here - I drive the zam at the infamous site of the Miracle on Ice. Hydraulic leak situations, you immediately drive off the ice as quick as you can, trying your best to stay off fresh lines. The fire like that last clip, get it to the middle of the rink and run for an extinguisher. Unloading the zamboni from a truck and damaging the conditioner like that is pretty much the universe saying that the machine is unusable. Everything that’s integral to the operation of a zamboni is in your conditioner. The blade, the augers, water output, snow collection, etc. if that’s damaged, put it back on the truck and get a new one.

4:26 that video clip is so legendary 😂😂 pilote out here doing the lords work

He might have had guts to drive the zamboni off the ice while on fire, BUT, the way he was driving the machine might have led to the leak and the subsequent fire!

Interesting take! I will share this on the AARFP Arena Group site and you will get comments! I for sure would have tried to take the ice resurfacer off the ice though. I probably wouldn’t have been brave enough, but you NEVER stop on the ice! Lol! Plus all your safety gear is in the back AND better to scrape off the mess than melt your ice to the slab!!

I drive an Olympia actually the same model as the one that caught on fire in Rochester (last video) and I had a hydraulic leak one time. My augers stopped so I raised the conditioner and put them in reverse to clear it out and see if they were frozen or not but once I did it all started shooting out of the back of the conditioner like crazy. I instantly brought the machine off and shut down. Needless to say it was hand cuts until we could get the mechanic in

Love the new intro!!!!!

Good game Nash

5:51 It's not hydraulic fluid, its the Zamboni that Deadpool used and it wasn't fully cleaned right before this.
