It's Stanley Cup playoff time and even though the Bruins just got eliminated and my childhood team, the Whalers, abandoned me like a bad prom date long ago one thing remains the same, the Zamboni cheers for no one. While flipping through Sports Illustrated last night I learned that the 10,000th Zamboni rolled-off the assembly line last week. To celebrate this achievement the Zamboni company released a time-lapse video of its production. I couldn't find that video but I did a poster on the evolution of the Zamboni and some images and a video about how it works.

And if you're looking to make your own Zamboni, Red Green has a tutorial for you.
