#27 - Flaming Ice Resurfacing Machine, Doug Peters of the Zamboni Company Rink Stories

    • Hockey

In this episode, Bob and Matt welcome back Doug Peters, regional sales manager at the Zamboni Company and host of the Ask the Zamboni Experts podcast. Hear the whole truth about what happened with that unfortunate incident in Rochester NY, where an 11-second video of a spectacular hydraulic fluid mishap on a NON-Zamboni ice resurfacing machine caused a viral sensation. They discuss: How did the Zamboni Company react when they heard the news? How do you protect the brand when it's misrepresented in a story like this? What caused the fire? Did the driver do the right thing? How did nobody get hurt? What safety lessons do we learn? Nothing to do with ice resurfacing, why is Bob all of the sudden ripping the Cornell Big Red?

The lesson, as always, Matt reminds us, "All Zambonis are ice resurfacing machines, but not all ice resurfacing machines are Zambonis."
