A lot,
Just not having the doors open helps nevermind the lack of body heat.
The difference is freezing time. In the warmest weather climates, they usually have at least 40+ hours between games to get the ice frozen. Here they have 90 minutes at times. Ess than 24 hours at the best of times.
The ice plants can only work so fast. I suspect the ice in both cities (Torontos humidity has been off the charts) is a lot thinner than it normally would be as well so the freeze takes quicker. Now the technology these days must be a lot better than what i was dealing with when i was involved and the newer equipment should help, but make no mistake...getting ice right in these conditions is as much an art as it is science.
