Daily News | Philly ice rink managers get a Zamboni master class from the Flyers’ operators
Mabarak Levere, 49, gets animated when he starts talking about ice — the skating kind— and how to care for it, but there’s only so many people he can talk shop with as one of the five primary staffers maintaining Philadelphia’s five city-operated skating rinks.
“Learning new tricks and tips to be more efficient is welcome, we can bounce ideas off each other,” said Levere as he watched two men drive Zamboni and Olympia resurfacing machines around the Flyers’ rink in opposite synchronized swoops.The machines, wrapped with Coors Light and Deitz & Watson advertising, are only one example of how much more of everything there is at the Wells Fargo Center — more staff, more equipment, more ceiling.
“Some of the stuff we do here, it’s different, it won’t compare to the community rink,” said Jennings. “But from the operational side, we try to drive home that we do the same thing, we’re all Zamboni operators.” A hockey-heavy week, however, requires ingenuity.
