And if the boiler breaks down, so too does the ice surface. The East Selkirk Recreation Centre needed a boil- er replacement this season and the Selkirk and Dis- trict Community Foundation came through with a $10,000 grant to keep the 2020-21 season on ice. “A boiler is very important. Without it, we could still make ice, but it would hinder the quality of our ice,” says Blake Burnett, Facility Manager at the East Selkirk Recreation Centre. “It’s essential to our business. Hockey players know that when they go on the ice and it’s rough, there’s a reason and the reason is you’re using cold water to fl ood.” The boiler heats water that is applied to the ice RECORD PHOTO SUBMITTED by the Zamboni and without that hot water, the ice Blake Burnett, Facility Manager at the East Selkirk Recreation Centre. surface would be bumpy and uneven.
