Heating the benches is standard operating procedure at outdoor games, but the NHL planned to test the equipment Wednesday, when the high was 7 and the low minus 9, to make sure it could handle the cold and decide if more is needed.
The League has added more heat than usual to the penalty boxes. You're going to be cold for a little bit,'" Matsuzaki said with a laugh. Then there is the ice itself. The optimum surface temperature for an NHL-caliber sheet is between 22 and 24 degrees. The floor of the rink is made of aluminum ice pans. A mobile refrigeration unit pumps glycol through pipes to the pans and back to the truck to transfer heat. Craig has an app on his phone that gives him real-time data from eight sensors embedded in the ice and other sensors in the system.
When the air temperature is above the optimum ice temperature, the glycol and aluminum pans transfer heat away from the ice. But when the air temperature is below the optimum ice temperature, it transfers heat to the ice. The NHL has used a custom-made inline heater before to warm the glycol in the pipes on the way to the floor, but here it will use two inline heaters for the first time, one at the refrigeration truck and another in the outfield.
The crew can calibrate the temperature to a half-degree. The optimum temperature for NHL game pucks is degrees, to keep them from bouncing. In arenas, they are stored in freezers for at least 24 hours before games and transferred to freezers in penalty boxes. Off-ice officials in the penalty boxes use stopwatches. If two minutes pass with the same puck, they swap it for a new one at the next stoppage to make sure the puck in play is at the right temperature.
