About this event
This course is NOT the standard Arena Operator Level #1 Course. Instead, this course will focus on best ice maintenance practices used during the winter season. The morning will be a discussion on general ice maintenance practices along with a class conversation about current and best practices. The afternoon will be focused on actual ice maintenance.
Topics covered along with class participation include:
- Principles of Ice Maintenance
- Air Quality
- Dasher Board Systems
- Best Practices
- Ice Maintenance Equipment Operation
Primary Audience: Facility Operators and supervisors who require a better understanding of ice maintenance, science of ice making and industry best practices.
Mode of Training: The course is designed to provide a balance of classroom instruction and practical.
Course Materials: Registrants will receive information pertaining to ice maintenance.
Health & Safety Equipment: Proper steel toe footwear, ice cleats and clothing is required as we will be on the ice surface for extended periods performing tasks related to ice installation/maintenance.
