The whole ice removal process followed by Anaheim Ducks or any other team

The process of removing ice from an ice hockey rink typically takes place once the regular season and playoffs have concluded. The crucial step in arena maintenance involves several stages to ensure the ice is effectively and safely removed.

To initiate the melting process, the brinewater, which is the cooled mixture of water and salt responsible for creating and maintaining the ice surface, is warmed and circulated beneath the ice. This gradual warming of the brinewater facilitates the melting of the ice from underneath.

As the ice begins to melt, it reaches a point where it becomes sufficiently weakened. At this stage, crews use specialized equipment, such as front end loaders, to break up the ice into manageable pieces. The loaders carefully maneuver around the rink, collecting the broken ice and loading it onto trucks for removal.
