That is pretty cool. Do they paint the logos on and then add another layer of ice over top?

They paint right on the solid concrete on the floor, I believe. The ice goes on afterward.

… I think.

I thought it was more like a 1/2 inch of ice, a coat of white paint, then another 1/2 of ice, then the logos, and then another 1/2 inch or so? I know there’s usually a layer of white between the logos and the floor.

it would have been cool if they had some players help like Columbus did, like mason painted his own goal crease and painted his name first then painted over it, i thought it was kinda cool marking his territory and all.
