In between periods at Detroit Red Wings games, fans are selected to ride the Zamboni as the ice is resurfaced. At game four of the Red Wings-Chicago Blackhawks series, Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh was selected to ride the Zamboni. Personally I’m surprised that he was able to fit on the seat, he’s easily the biggest Zamboni rider in the history of Joe Louis Arena.

Suh wasn’t the only Lion in attendance, he was joined by Matthew Stafford, Shaun Chapas and Kris Durham. Chapas, Durham and Stafford were all teammates at the University of Georgia. It’s always cool to see professional athletes supporting other teams in their new city.
