Freezing an ice rink for an ice hockey series

Three locations, two days, one ice rink. That was the game plan when New Zealand hosted the American and Canadian Ice Hockey series. The series was held at three locations with two days’ access at each to freeze the mobile rink and thaw it out again at the end of the match.

The event organisers were looking for a partner who could supply rapid chilling and thawing. The job required precision timing and an experienced technical team to have the rink ready for the opening face-off at each game.
