The yule log, hockey style

Ah, the mesmerizing powers of watching a blazing yule log, so appropriate for getting in the holiday spirit and long a tradition on TV.

The folks at rosterbot.com have come up with a hockey version of the blazing yule log, which they call the first ever Holiday Zamboni Challenge.

The rink shown is at the 8 Rinks facility in Burnaby, Canada, not far from Vancouver, according to the folks at rosterbot.com. The soundtrack of a crackling fire adds just the right touch and keeps hockey on our minds during the NHL’s Christmas break.
