Break out your winter and ice-themed puns – the City of Kitchener is looking for a name for its newest ice resurfacer.

The City of Kitchener announced the brand-new electric Zamboni for the Carl Zehr Square ice pad on EngageWR.ca, and now they need to name it.

“This Zamboni isn’t just any machine, it’s a symbol of sustainability and community fun,” the website said. “By helping us name it, you’ll be part of a story that will roll across the rink all season long.”

The winning name will be displayed on the machine.

Ideas will be accepted until the end of November and then a shortlist will be compiled.

Voting opens up in December. They can be cast online or in person at City Hall or community centres and arenas.

The winning name will be added to the Zamboni in the new year.
