Blue Ice?

The Buffalo Sabres are using their farm team, the Rochester Americans of the AHL, to test out a new blue colored ice surface at HSBC Arena in Buffalo, NY. The "experiment" began after NHL officials suggested that changing the color of the ice surface would improve how the game is viewed on TV. The blue lines are now bright orange, and the same orange color is used for the faceoff dots. The centerline was changed from red to dark blue. Supposedly, the white ice causes a glare and changing the color to this light blue will help alleviate that.
