There are two things Canadians love most during the winter season, and that's hockey and Tim Hortons. They commonly collide when having a nice warm beverage to stay warm at the rink while watching a game, but this man took their connection to an extreme.
Meet Jesse Myshak, who built a home rink in his backyard for both his children and the Stony Plain, Alberta hockey team, and needed an ice-resurfacing machine to keep the ice in tip-top shape. While putting the finishing touches on the Zamboni in the shop one night, Myshak realized there was one small issue; how to get the machine home to the rink.
We're sure Myshak sat down and had a brainstorm, but at the end of the day there was really only one way to get it home, and that was to drive it. And once on the road, and getting a few thumbs up and funny looks from locals, why not fully embrace how incredibly Canadian the moment was and stop at a Tim Hortons drive-thru for a coffee or hot chocolate to warm up?
Myshak let us know about the BarDown Zamboni before it went completely viral, but we didn't know he would be taking it out for a rip around town!

We want to give a giant shout out to Jesse Myshak and his entire family for getting our logo put on the Zamboni (and even calling their rink "The BarDown Arena"), and having a whole lot of fun with the entire situation. Jesse is truly a Canadian legend after this stunt. Now if only he can get Connor McDavid to drop the puck at the rink for his kids...
