Are Zambonis right-side drive in countries that use right-side drive cars?

  Zamboni himself would have wanted it that way.

  I live in a right-side drive country.

  The first time I ever heard of a Zamboni was when Ryan Renolds drove one over a guy in the first Deadpool movie.

    I thought I remembered him also driving one in Van Wilder, but I guess I was just remembering that an ice rink was featured at one point.

  I drove Zambonis at work and of course, I always sat on the left.

  Sitting there makes you able to control the left side when you operate and drive close to the walls.

  It would work the opposite way but it make no sense to do it. There’s a few ice machines producers in the world and I guess it would make the machinery price to raise in order to gain nothing.

    The UK has an ice hockey league - not sure how many natives are in the teams though. Hockey is massive in (parts of) India - but they tend to play the version without ice…

    But I have heard of international figure skaters

  If they did so, they’d also require Zamboni drivers to do their circuits in the opposite direction, counterclockwise instead of clockwise. They like to drive along the boards on the driver’s side so they can tuck up against the wall gently & see just how close they’re getting.

  I’m guessing that they’ll be on whatever side Frank Zamboni decided it should be on.

  I’ve only ever heard an Ice Resurfacer being referred to as a Zamboni in the USA. There’s not a lot of ice to resurface in Australia and in the Netherlands we used to skate on the river or canal when conditions permitted, no machines there either.

  I don’t know the answer to your question specifically but I will say that many specialty vehicles have the seats in all sorts of unusual locations because of the task they perform and it is irrelevant where in the world they are as far as I know.
