Ottawa’s TD Place braces for spring storm during men’s world championship
A spring storm that’s expected to hammer the Ottawa area on Wednesday is an unwelcome reality for Chris Wynn, the senior director of operations at TD Place.
“The blood pressure is high,” Wynn said. “You do the best you can. It’s an aging facility. Concrete is concrete and water can find [its way] in the cracks and come out 100 feet away.Wet weather and temperature swings can also make life difficult for chief ice technician Dave Merklinger. The outdoor humidity was expected to rise significantly Wednesday as the mercury climbs over the freezing mark.
“We have the ability actually to dry this building out a little bit, unlike other years I’ve made ice in here when there’s nothing except the elements of the outside air.”
