Brought up in a family of figure skaters in Paris, Boehler is no stranger to ice rink, his Neverland in the childhood. He began to receive training of being an ice master at 16 by beginning with working as a driver for Zamnoni machine, or ice resurfacer for Albertville Games in 1992. PyeongChang is his third Winter Games after Turin in 2006.
With more than two decades in business, Boehler has developed his tips to tell if the ice is good or not -- from the sound even made by the whispery crosscut strokes of blades.
"If it sounds crispy and clear. It's good. Or, we have to take actions," he said.
During the course of an event, the ice gets carved, cut and slashed, making it difficult for the players to skate. So between groups, Zamboni machines enter the rink and essentially reglaze the ice.
Boehler welcomes some of the changes that the intense and swift technological development has brought: sensor to monitor arena temperatures, laser gun to determine ice temperature and depth, and better Zamboni machines, but he also believes in experience, which he said should take control of technology.
"So when I come into the rink, I took off the beanie and listen carefully what the ice is saying. It works every time," said Boehler.
"But of course, I will also listen to the athletes too. So far, I have heard no complaint," he added, with a sly gin.
