Zamboni
Rink grooming machine
A Zamboni is a machine that resurfaces ice rinks, scraping away the top layer and laying down fresh water that freezes smooth.
The name comes from Frank Zamboni, who invented the machine in the 1940s.
Though Zamboni is a trademark, it's used generically for any ice resurfacer: The Zamboni came out between periods.
