THE CITY OF RED DEER RECREATION, PARKS & CULTURE DEPARTMENT RED DEER ARENA, KINEX, KINSMEN COMMUNITY ARENAS AND DAWE CENTRE ARENA ICE MAINTENANCE POLICY Revised: October 12, 1990 May 13,1996
PURPOSE To establish a general policy on ice maintenance for various events and activities taking place in the Arena, Kinex, Kinsmen Community Arenas and Dawe Centre Arena. PREAMBLE It is possible to maintain ice to any desired standard. However, to make effective use at a reasonable cost, a limit must be set on the number of occasions in a day that ice is scraped and flooded. ,
Factors to be considered are: 1.
Ice conditions must be safe.
2.
Lost time from daily schedule of use should be minimized.
3.
Limited manpower for all caretaking and supervisory responsibilities necessitates a limitation on ice maintenance. (Not only actual flooding time but time for preparation and cleanup of machine is a factor).
4.
Costs of ice plant operation and of shaving is affected by excessive flooding.
5.
To reduce build-up of ice, flooding may be substituted by shaving at the discretion of the operator.
POLICY The basic types of use and level of maintenance is as follows: A 15 minute ice maintenance break will be the standard between bookings except for
1.
certain activities and events. These exceptions will be determined during the seasonal allocation of ice times in consultation with the facility operators. 2.
-.
Public Skating:
Ice will be maintained prior to each session and at intermission if
conditions warrant. Two floods are required before each session.
2
3.
All practices: Ice will be prepared prior to the beginning of each session and at the discretion of the facility operator or his designate midway through a session if it extends beyond one hour and there could be serious damage to the ice or a threat to the safety of the users.
4.
Figure skating lessons: Same as (3.) above.
5.
Hockey/Ringette Games: ice will be prepared prior to the beginning of each session, and it will be maintained after each period if desired by the user and if time permits.
6.

7.
Figure Skating Competition: Ice will be prepared prior to the beginning of each session and during a session as requested or more frequently at the discretion of the operator or his designate if there is a threat to the ice conditions and/or to the safety of the users.
8.

9.

To provide guidelines for shaving the ice surface with the ice resurfacer.
PROCEDURE STANDARD:
The Facility Operator is responsible for ensuring that the ice surface is maintained at a thickness of 1.0 inch to 1.50 inch. The operator will schedule shaving as required: on “A”- Fridays at 7:45 a.m., and on “B” Wednesdays at 7:45 a.m. The ice thickness is to be measured weekly prior to the scheduled shaving.
‘ROCEDURE DESCRIPTION:
- A cordless power drill c/w a .25 inch bit can be used to measure the depth of the ice at several locations. Use an ice surface chart to mark the depth of the ice at the locations checked. Keep the charts in a separate file in the Operator’s office for a period of seven years. - Shave as required; usually, only the comers require attention. - Shaving is usually done in a figure 8 pattern between the blue line and the end of the rink - see attached diagram. - If the ice surface thickness is less than 1 .O inch in an area, flood the area with pails of hot water until the 1 .O inch standard is met. -
