Keeping the ice cool at T-Mobile Arena
 
Keeping the ice cool at T-Mobile Arena

Temperatures are expected to reach the high 90s for Knights playoff games against the San Jose Sharks at T-Mobile Arena this weekend. The Golden Knights are making adjustments to keep the condition of the ice in tip-top shape. “The whole idea is that ambient temperature and inside temperature have a relationship,” said T-Mobile conversion manager and ice maker George Salami. Sometimes when it is humid outside, fog can form on the ice. During the 1975 Stanley Cup finals between the Buffalo Sabres and Philadelphia Flyers, a dense fog formed at Buffalo Memorial Auditorium. The Sabres won in double overtime on a shot by Rene Robert that Flyers goalie Bernie Parent — and most in attendance — did not see.
