That’s right folks. The Olympics may be in Canada this year, but the three Canadian-made electric Zambonis were not up to the task of caring for the 2010 Winter Games’ surfaces. All three machines succumbed to mechanical and electrical issues, causing major delays to the games. Finally, to avoid further embarassement, the Candians brought in a CNG powered Zamboni from California-based Zamboni. For more details, head on over to Jalopnik.
