The ice contains a network of pipes filled with a refrigerant chemical. A compressor like that in your home freezer chills the refrigerant which in turn freezes the ice, sort of like a giant ice cube.

What percentage of the Pittsburgh Penguins Does Mario Lemieux own?
he is a co-owner.
Mario Lemieux and Ron Burkle are technically the main owners of the team based on day to day business and overall ownership decisions. There is also an additional investment group that does not make ownership decisions, but are merely investing in the team. I believe the minimum investment amount to get in the investment group when Lemieux took over the reins was an investment of 1 million or more. I don't believe any additional investers are currently being accepted.
Will the Minnesota Wild be in the Stanley Cup playoffs?
Well I'm not sure all i know is that they haven't made the playoff in three straight seasons but at the off-season they got Dany heatly, Devon setoguchi, from San Jose then they got darroll powe from Philadelphia, then Mike Lundin from Tampa bay, and they are all from playoff teams from last season and they might be more so i think they'll have a shot.
Who is the best hockey goalie brand?
Based on the stats from the 2010/11 season it is Tim Thomas of the Boston Bruins. Certainly a case could be made for Vancouver's Robert Luongo as well. Career wise, based on personal stats, team stats, wins, shutouts, awards won, etc., the best goalie ever has to be Martin Brodeur of the New Jersey Devils. ( While you can make good arguements for Patrick Roy, Terry Sawchuk, Ken Dryden, etc., none has had the prolonged personal and team success as Brodeur.)

Vladislav Tretjak.
No doubt Tretiak was a great goalie but he never played in the long seasonal grind of the NHL . It was quite easy for a goalie of his caliber to beat the Polands and Austrias of the hockey world. As well . I was only referencing goalies of the NHL.

There are goalies that have scored on the other goalie. the rink is 200ft long, so it's just under 200ft (at the most).

1979 NHL ordered all new players to begin wearing helmets, however prior players who had signed the waiver before this date were allowed to choose. So over the years after 1979 the number of players allowed to NOT wear a helmet decreased due to the older veterans leaving the game. The last person to not wear a helmet in NHL was Craig MacTavish in 1997. He played for the St. Louis Blues.
