Don Schlupp, Jr.

He spent nearly a decade in the service department, working on everything from annual preventive maintenance packages and complete rebuilds to emergency service calls. In that time, he has seen just about anything and everything that can happen to a resurfacer!
Don currently works in battery division where he has helped develop the world's best battery powered ice resurfacer. Still the only resurfacer to have the ability to do 32 resurfaces to a single charge! He was also monumental in the development and design of the Olympia Mini E, which are currently the only Ice Resurfacer used in the NHL Winter Classic, Stadium Series and Heritage Classic outdoor games. His knowledge and know how led him to the role of factory technical trainer, training ice techs from all over the world! Whether it's a brand-new ice resurfacer or blast from the past he is well versed with Big 3 brands. |
Don proudly completed his CIT certificate with the ORFA/STAR Alliance in 2012. Shortly thereafter began instructing the IMEO class as a factory rep. Since then he has taught classes to customers and employees in rinks from around the world.
He has proudly represented not only his employer but his country by being Lead Technician for both the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics and 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, and is currently contracted by the NHL as Ice Resurfacer Crew Chief and Ice Crew member Winter Classic, Stadium Series and Heritage Classic games. Needless to say he is passionate about what he does. Having spent more than a decade on the maintenance and repair side of the business, and years training aspiring individuals in our great industry, he is eager to pass along his knowledge of proper practices. |
