Someone You Should Know: Eric Arno
RN: Please explain your job.
Arno: The Zamboni shaves a thin layer of ice and augers transfer the shaved ice into the front dump tank. The Zamboni also lays water down to fill in skate marks.
RN: How long have you held this job?
Arno: I have been helping out at the rink for 13 years.
RN: What is your favorite part of the job?
Arno: My favorite part of doing the job is the satisfaction of making a nice sheet of ice for the kids and community to use.
RN: What is the biggest misconception about your job?
Arno: Probably the biggest misconception is that anybody can operate the Zamboni. The machine is not real difficult to operate but there is an art to making a really nice sheet of ice.
What do you like to do in your spare time?
Arno: I spend a lot of spare time at the rink, with two boys still in hockey. I love to get out snowmobiling and ice fish when I can.
