You saw it here first....

The ice had to be totally taken out, not just covered, for the circus. Crews have been working hard all week - with Murphy's Law rearing it's head at every turn - to have the ice ready for practice Friday morning. It will be a close call, but it will be ready.

I plan on a couple of blog entries on the process of making ice, and what to do when the friggin' Zamboni dies on the ice. e-gads!

Meanwhile, here's a sneak peak at the center ice logo for the rest of the season:





It is the logo before any skates have been over it.

That's the best I could do with a camera phone. It looks askew because I couldn't get a birdseye view of it.
