Behind the Glass
The Behind the Glass Podcast aims to grow and connect the community of professional ice technicians and rink operators by highlighting our shared experiences. We are rink guys who came together through social media and a common sense of humor. Our mission is to expand the visibility of the ice industry’s behind-the-scenes professionals. Through honest conversations, real rink stories, and thoughtful discussions, we want to promote ongoing education, celebrate the craft of ice-making/maintenance, and provide unique insights on everything that happens inside an ice rink.
