Keeping Cool
Carboni's kid fostered his love for
hockey. His son skated for years as a
Mite through college. Although Carboni
was never much of a hockey guy—he
played football in college—that kept
Carboni at the rink all the time. He
grew to understand the game well and
love the people he met there.
He also loves the cold.
When Carboni and his wife go on vacation,
they don't go to Bermuda or the Caribbean.
They go to Ottawa and skate on frozen canals.
He feels most at peace operating one of
the arena's ice resurfacers.
"I like to focus intensely on something.
I believe in commitment in making sure
you try to be the best at all times and
excellence in making sure the ice is the
best it could be," Carboni says. "I just want
people to have the best experience they
can have in the arena." J
