Or are they all left-side drive?
I don’t know the answer to your question specifically but I will say that many specialty vehicles have the seats in all sorts of unusual locations because of the task they perform and it is irrelevant where in the world they are as far as I know.
If they did so, they’d also require Zamboni drivers to do their circuits in the opposite direction, counterclockwise instead of clockwise. They like to drive along the boards on the driver’s side so they can tuck up against the wall gently & see just how close they’re getting.
Just gonna say I never hear about hockey players from UK or India.
But I have heard of international figure skaters
The UK has an ice hockey league - not sure how many natives are in the teams though. Hockey is massive in (parts of) India - but they tend to play the version without ice…
I live in a right-side drive country.
The first time I ever heard of a Zamboni was when Ryan Renolds drove one over a guy in the first Deadpool movie.
I thought I remembered him also driving one in Van Wilder, but I guess I was just remembering that an ice rink was featured at one point.
Coo, loo, coo, coo, coo, coo, coo, coo! Take off to the Great White North Take off, it’s a beauty way to go
Zamboni himself would have wanted it that way.
