Another Drunk Zamboni Driver

You can't make this stuff up. People that are drunk should not drive Zambonis.

Tammy Plett, Steinback online -- Police were called to the Ste. Anne arena after spectators noticed a worker driving the Zamboni erratically during a hockey game.

The ice resurfacing machine struck the rink boards, missed sections and dug grooves into the ice. According to police, the operator was uncooperative during arrest at the arena.

The incident happened between the second and third periods of the bantam hockey game between the Seine River Snipers and the Southeast Blizzard. The game was called due to the rough ice conditions with the third period being played Monday night in Ste. Anne.

Ste. Anne Police Chief Marc Robichaud says, "You don't have to be driving on a road to be charged with impaired driving. Under the criminal code a motor vehicle means a vehicle that is drawn, propelled or driven by any means other than muscular power."

Ste. Anne police report that the driver will be charged with impaired driving and refusing to provide a breath sample in relation to the operation of a Zamboni.
