There are so many factors that go into building the perfect sheet of ice, and the NHL's "King of the Ice”, Dan Craig, talked to Ian Pulver about his journey to the historic Edmonton Northlands Coliseum and beyond.

Craig talks about creating ice surfaces, building operations, outdoor games and other topics. Listeners will hear about all the great opportunities in the hockey world on the building operations side of the game, a side that doesn't get much attention in the sport.
