A Pleasant Valley, N.S., man has taken the backyard hockey rink to a new level. The hockey fanatic bought an ice resurfacing machine to turn the frozen pond into a high-quality rink.

Scott Fraser says the machine saves him time getting the pond ready, because he, his son and his wife all play hockey. A two-hour flooding process is now 20 minutes onboard the ice resurfacer.

The CBC's Kevin Harvey stopped by to see it in action.
