its not that think for the nhl lol


Ice in NHL Rinks is 3/4" thick. The thicker the ice, the softer it will become, and slower it will be.

Ice in a local rink will be anywhere between 1-2 inches in thickness (Usually never exceeding 1.5"). The extra thickness is needed because of the frequent ice turnover.


im gunna try for an inch or so

youre a long way from 32 degrees. and then at 32 you will only be able to get a thin layer of water to freeze. need 20s and some time at least.
