Q. Why are the nets moved from the goal area of the rink during the ice resurface?
A. At most facilities, the nets should be moved by the users who have just finished their hour of ice time. Most drivers prefer that the nets be placed along the side boards. If the nets are placed at the end boards it is difficult for the operator to manuever. Also most arenas prefer that the nets be tipped up at an angle and rested on the side boards to prevent slush and snow on the bottom of the net from freezing to the ice.
