Alright, maybe this has absolutely NOTHING to do with college hockey, but a bigger collection of science nuts I'll never find, so here goes... "What freezes faster, hot water or cold water?" and just as importantly... "Why?" I just got off the phone with the Zamboni guy at the local rink, and he says they fill the Zamboni with hot water because "it's supposed to freeze faster." Please e-mail me privately, and if anybody else wants to know, I can post the answer to the group. Thanks, Karl ([log in to unmask]) Saratoga Springs, NY Home of the 1995 PeeWee Tier II Championships
