Recently the Detroit Red Wings fired long time Zamboni Driver Al Sobotka after 51 years.
«I loved my 51 years with the Detroit Red Wings, and would have been happy to stay 51 more,» - Sobotka
No one knew why, until it was recently revealed. According to the Detroit Free Press, Sobotka was caught peeing into a drain between two Zombonis in the machines' garage at Little Caesars arena.
According to the lawsuit, Sobotka was diagnosed with benign prostatic hypertrophy, which causes a frequent and uncontrollable need to urinate.
''On Feb. 2, Sobotka drove one of the Zamboni machines into its garage at Little Caesars Arena after cleaning the ice at the main rink. Sobotka, according to the lawsuit, experienced an uncontrollable urge to urinate. The nearest facility was 60-70 feet away, so instead, Sobotka used one of the drains that lead into a sewer, designed to handle the ice runoff from Zamboni machines. The area is closed to the public, and access limited to the all-male ice crew.''
