This year, probably due to the relatively thin ice what's out there is what looks like an orange 1971 Ariens Manorway lawn tractor with a snowblower out front which could weigh maybe 800-lbs with the snowblower included.

Different year ...... different ice ..... different tractor ...... is that a 1971 Ariens Manorway lawn tractor ........ anyone in the know?
Not sure of the tractor, but everything is different this year. 130 teams (down from 275) and 14 rinks (down from 26). No spectators, no vendor tents, no beer garden, no live music. Games scheduled back to back. Get in, play your 2 games and leave. Going to make the best of it though and still have fun.
