Zamboni

A Zamboni is a truck-like vehicle or smaller device used to clean and smooth the surface of an ice rink.

The first ice resurfacer was developed by Frank J. Zamboni in 1949 in the city of Paramount, California.

Zamboni (pronounced /zæmˈboʊni/) is an internationally registered trademark, though the term is often used as a generic colloquialism for ice resurfacing vehicles.
