According to sources, many hours of careful craftsmanship are required to create the perfect bandy ice before the final nerves arrive and the gold jubilation can break out. Joachim Hedh, one of the ice-makers for the SM finals and the work leader at Västmanlands fastighetsskötsel responsible for operations at the Rocklunda area, describes the task as a science. "Ice is a science, it's small margins we have to work with," Hedh said.
Temperature, humidity, and small margins are factors that play a big role in ice-making, making it a craft where several factors must align simultaneously to achieve the perfect ice. The exact number of hours needed to prepare the ice for the finals has not been specified. Hedh expressed optimism about the current conditions, stating, "It feels stable and good.
Ice is a science, it's small margins we have to work with.
