Ride the Zamboni!

Few sights mesmerize a drunken hockey fan quite like the ice resurfacing that takes place between the periods. Something about the elegant movements of the Zamboni just transfixes us, making even the most sloppily-played 0-0 tie endurable. If you've ever wanted to know just what a Zamboni does, how much its driver gets paid, and how such an unusual machine came to be, drop by this comprehensive guide to ice resurfacing from the good folkks at Charged magazine. Did you know there's a disease associated with Zamboni exhaust fumes, called "Zamboni Disease" or "ice hockey lung"? You will, after paging through all 12 screens of Theresa Loong's fascinating and informative feature.
