Interesting!  When I lived in the area, I worked at a rink that had an employee that also worked at Gardens.  He would never have been allowed to drive the zamboni at my rink, but he did at the Gardens.  They often did not cut the ice and just laid water and they would go very, very fast.  I don't know if they still do it that way, though!
