Carbon Monoxide Leak at Canadian Hockey Rink More than 100 people, many of them children, were treated at Vancouver-area hospitals after a carbon monoxide exposure at a hockey rink on Feb. 18, according to authorities. In a triage area in the arena parking lot, crews from seven ambulances, three ambulance supervisor vehicles and four fire trucks examined more than 200 people. Eleven people were transported to hospitals, and three or four were given emergency oxygen treatment in a hyperbaric chamber at Vancouver General Hospital. Investigators say the carbon monoxide apparently came from the exhaust of a Zamboni ice resurfacing machine at Ridge Meadows Arenas, and authorities are trying to determine whether anyone had tampered with equipment designed to remove the potentially deadly gas.
