A video of a New Brunswick boy clearing the ice in a mini-Zamboni went viral on Friday after it was reposted by the NHL!
Marty Allain, from Saint-Marie-de-Kent, posted a video of his five-year-old son Nicholas to Facebook, not knowing the attention it would get.
The video showed Nicholas clearing the ice rink in his backyard, in a Zamboni made from a kids’ truck and some extra gear.
Marty says it took him about two hours to make the mini-Zamboni, and he made the rink too.
He says Nicholas does love hockey, and is inspired by a local player — Lukas Cormier who is also from Saint-Marie-de-Kent, signed with the Vegas Golden Knights last month.
Marty says the family is planning on expanding their rink next year, and it’ll be on Nicholas to maintain it with his Zamboni.
Maybe Nicolas will be an NHL Zamboni Driver someday!
