The Harvard Crimson were taking on the Dartmouth Big Green in hockey on Friday night when Harvard’s Zamboni broke down on the ice. Harvard players then had to come on the ice and push the Zam off the ice to keep it from ruining the ice. Dartmouth Hockey’s team Twitter Account live tweeted the event:
Having the Zamboni breakdown and drop snow in the area of the net we have to defend twice? Bold strategy, Harvard. pic.twitter.com/0CvvCO5WaI

Last year's game was postponed due to snow. Could we have a similar fate this year?! pic.twitter.com/wP3FQrS6hg

Great. It's off the ice. I hate to be that guy, though, but you missed a spot. pic.twitter.com/X6Gz627B93

An hour later, they had the Zamboni fixed and it was ready to go again.

The game ended up being delayed for almost two hours and Harvard went on to win 3-0.
