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

#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.

#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.
