Z is for Zamboni

This last post is in honor of the Leafs making the playoffs for the first time in forever.  (Go Leafs Go!) 

Zamboni is a brand name for an ice resurfacing machine.  They drive around the ice and put down a thin layer of water which then freezes and makes the ice smooth again.  Neat huh?  Now I always thought that they were melting the ice until I looked it up.  You learn something new every day!

When I was looking through my son's cars for the Zambonis to get a picture I was hoping to find the Leafs one but I didn't.
