"Day in the Work Life": Zamboni Driver

Next Thursday, Minnesota, North Dakota, Colorado College, and Denver College will play in College Hockey's Frozen Four Championship. On this week's installment of 'A Day In the Work Life'...our regular look at how folks trade time for money...we take to the ice with the guy who drives the Zamboni.

Chris Thomas drives the Zamboni at the 'Frog Pond' skating rink in Boston Common. The rink covers a staggering 16,000 square feet. In the summer, it becomes a wading pool, complete with fountain. (Photo: Dennis Foley)
