Default ....keeping the ice fast ?

Seeing a Zamboni www.zamboni.com clean and smooth out the ice is standard at a municipal ice arena, so I wonder what does the Meredith Pond Hockey Classic do to keep the ice smooth and fast between hockey periods?

Do they send ten guys with buckets of hot, hot water and mops out there, or what, because the ice definitely slows down a lot with the accumulated build-up of the white ice shavings created by the action of the skate blades?

This 3:03 youtube from Dec 23, 2010 shows a home made Zamboni used to clean the ice on a backyard pond:

So's ........ have to wonder ......how does Meredith Pond Hockey deal with this problem?
