An ad posted online last month said that Barclays Center was looking to hire an assistant manager of arena operations to help with “planning and implementation of associated work tasks.”

Huh?

What that really means is that the Islanders, who are relocating to Brooklyn from Uniondale, N.Y., need a Zamboni driver. Perhaps the new commute was too long for their previous driver.

Let’s start by getting the terms straight. The fun machine that zips around between periods at hockey games and that most people call a Zamboni is, technically, an “ice resurfacer.” Zamboni is not the only company that makes the machines — Olympia is another ice-resurfacer manufacturer — but it is the only one that works as a verb. You’re not going to hear an arena operations manager ask an assistant to “Olympia that ice.”
