The ice installation at Dal's Oulton-Stanish Centre provided a fascinating glimpse into the blend of precision, craftsmanship, and deliberately low-tech methods used to create a world-class rink.
What looks immaculate when finished including the crisp Dal Tigers logo at centre ice comes from decades-old techniques such as careful hand flooding, measuring, marking, and layering. Much of this work was done with tools as simple as yarn, tape, rollers, ropes and spray bottles.
Even major international venues rely on these same techniques, underscoring how much skill and human touch still go into creating a flawless sheet of ice.
