thank the amazing skaters in this production for
stepping (and gliding) into new boundaries and
exploring the amazing world of theatre. And of
course a big thank-you to Gateway for providing
this opportunity. Happy New Year everyone!!

is the official
landscaper of
Yontzmat portable ice rinks are state of the art
ice rinks utilizing space age materials and solar
technology. The Yontz Corporation, headed by Don
Yontz and Carl Zahn, and their team of engineers
can transform a stage into skatable ice in only 24
hours. The rink is framed using recycled “plastic”
lumber forming what resembles a 5-1/2 inch deep
water bed frame. Next, a polyethylene plastic
liner is placed over one inch thick high density
insulation. Yontzmat “coils” (which are constructed
from HiTemp solar collector material) are laid on
top of the plastic liner and connected to one end of
the frame. This end of the frame has piping which
will pump 65 gallons per minute of antifreeze
through the paneled coils at 5 degrees Fahrenheit.
The antifreeze is chilled by a 60 HP unit which is
parked outside the theatre. After the rink is down,
it is continuously watered to build the layers of ice.
The entire installation takes only 4 hours and the
ice builds to skating thickness in only 20 hours.
When the fun is over, the entire rink is removed in
4 hours or less by a team of 12 people. Gateway
utilizes only environmentally friendly antifreeze in
the coolant system.
