LOL, it'll probably look... orange. All kidding aside, I gotta imagine playing on orange ice would be pretty strange. The K-Wings have also played on green (St. Patty's Day) and pink (Valentine's Day) ice. I remember hearing about one of those games, where the ice was made too quickly and didn't have time to set up properly... the color bled through the ice and got all over the teams' uniforms.

Isnt this what they do in football also? The orange bowl or something and the field is orange.

[JR Boucicaut 3760]

No, the Orange Bowl's grass is NOT orange.

You must be thinking of Boise State and the blue field.

boys, i spent 4 years in k-zoo and have been to a couple of the st. patty's day games. pretty cool idea. the ice is done in a light green, so it does not really throw your concentration off. the k-wings do a pretty good job with the colored ice events.

...Which, for the record, I find to be EXTREMELY annoying.

[JR Boucicaut 3760]

LOL I like it.

[LkptTiger 1]

Really? It strikes me as somewhat distracting, even borderline-obnoxious.

How about blue ice? I hated it and I won't be attending too many Long Beach Ice Dogs games because of it. Beer prices were also outrageous and the seating stinks. I miss Pensacola now.

[LkptTiger 1]

THAT is terrible.

You're not kidding, the seating there looks horrid.

Didnt the NHL used to have blue ice anyways? I remember that for some reason, and then they changed it to white, and kept only the areas on the inside of the goals blue. But then they later changed that to white, if I can remember my NHL history correctly.

It was just natural pond ice color back in the day. It was clear, but was tinted "grey" because of the concrete below. In 1972 they began putting white paint in the ice to make it white.

Let's not forget the Lake Placid ice incident ;), that sure is one thing missing from the realism of the movie.

[Eazy_b97 1]

I thought that at the old Maple Leaf Gardens they painted underneath a light blue so it would appear white on TV. I remember hearing something along those lines, so to get true blue ice (which I did like) I guess would need to be pretty deep blue.
