The Behind the Glass Podcast aims to grow and connect the community of professional ice technicians and rink operators by highlighting our shared experiences. We are rink guys who came together through social media and a common sense of humor. Our mission is to expand the visibility of the ice industry’s behind-the-scenes professionals. Through honest conversations, real rink stories, and thoughtful discussions, we want to promote ongoing education, celebrate the craft of ice-making/maintenance, and provide unique insights on everything that happens inside an ice rink.
The boys meet back up after a year with the rest of the people who helped start it all. Adam Larson joins from the Face-Off Spot, the podcast where the boys all met. And friend of the Pod Art Johnson comes back for some more fun!
