Or are they all left-side drive?

    If they did so, they’d also require Zamboni drivers to do their circuits in the opposite direction, counterclockwise instead of clockwise. They like to drive along the boards on the driver’s side so they can tuck up against the wall gently & see just how close they’re getting.

      The UK has an ice hockey league - not sure how many natives are in the teams though. Hockey is massive in (parts of) India - but they tend to play the version without ice…

    I drove Zambonis at work and of course, I always sat on the left.

    Sitting there makes you able to control the left side when you operate and drive close to the walls.

    It would work the opposite way but it make no sense to do it. There’s a few ice machines producers in the world and I guess it would make the machinery price to raise in order to gain nothing.

    I live in a right-side drive country.

    The first time I ever heard of a Zamboni was when Ryan Renolds drove one over a guy in the first Deadpool movie.
