Melting Ice Leads to New Surface (5/3/2012)
PORTLAND, Maine - This week following the 27th Annual Ice Show, Heroes and Villains, staff at the Portland Ice Arena began the annual ice melt. The yearly event and closure of the arena allows city staff to repair and maintain the nearly thirty year-old arena. In addition to general maintenance, major improvements are planned for the heating and cooling system, which will not only dramatically improve the quality and surface of the ice at the arena, but will also save money and energy as the repairs will replace an antiquated heating and cooling system.
