Google is counting down to the start of the shortened NHL season on Saturday.
The search engine’s latest doodle marks the 112 birthday of Frank Zamboni, the inventor of the world’s first self-propelled ice-resurfacing machine.
The Italian-American trademarked it in his own name, and is now commonly known as a “Zamboni.”
The playable doodle, which involves manipulating an ice-cleaning machine after a number of animated skaters depart from a rink, is inspired by the Zamboni ice resurfacer itself.
