Description

For hockey fans, the Zamboni has long been a fixture at arenas for treating ice surfaces before games and in between periods. And for just as long, these vehicles have needed fuel to get around. But the City of Vernon in British Columbia has begun electrifying its Zamboni fleet alongside other city vehicles. In this episode, we talk with Torrie Silverthorn, Tourism Manager at Tourism Vernon and Jonny Rockall, Zamboni driver and e-bike entrepreneur, about the benefits of electrification in this growing sports tourism destination.
