Yes I am sure an overweight middle-age person could operate a shovel on skates. That does not seem out of the realm of possibility at all. But I think you missed his point.
The Flames have a crew of a couple guys that take care of the ice at the Saddledome. They are the guys that drive the zambonis, move the nets, fix the post holes, fix broken glass etc. They also use to shovel the ice around the benches and net, now the Fire and Ice girls do that. Middle-aged men in tracksuits use to do it. They added pretty girls because men like to look at pretty girls. Simple as that.
