| Outrage of the day: tree-huggers go after the Zamboni |
| 2009-02-02 |
| As Charlie Brown once noted, "There are three things in life that people like to stare at: a flowing stream, a crackling fire, and a Zamboni clearing the ice." There will be no Zambonis at the 2010 Winter Olympics because they're not "green" enough. Hit the link for details. |

| #3 Mmmm, clean, pollution-free electricity. Produced by rubbing balloons on wool blankets, no doubt. In the olden days, they rubbed them on cats, but that get the PETA people charged up nowadays. |

| #2 I remember the old gasoline resurfacers. We'd get woozy skating around in those fumes. The propane was a big improvement. But electric does sound like the way to go if a rink can afford the initial outlay Fun fact: Clarkson University, an engineering school with a great college hockey tradition, awarded an honorary degree to old Frank Zamboni before he passed away. He deserved it. |

| #1 I think this has to do more with "Buy Canadain" than anyhting else. Zambomi also makes electric powered rink resurfacers. |
