Summary

Fears were that the combination of heavier, more powerful ice hockey players, and higher external temperatures and heat emitted from the large audience of 10,000 spectators could actually result in the ice cracking during play. A way had to be found to keep the ice hard and slick. Ultimately, it was decided to spread a layer of sand underneath the ice. This makes thinner ice possible. For added hardness, pure water was used.
