In my home town, the local indoor hockey rink was owned by the father of
a friend of mine. This friend told me that they used hot water when making ice
on the rink. Not only did it freeze faster (niether of us knew the physics)
but the water had less air in it. Thus, the ice was clearer and free from
bubbles which, I suppose, is important for hockey rinks.
