Say hello to the Icenator!

Okay, okay, so that's not what the truck in the clip above is actually called. But it is one of the most impressive trucks that you'll ever see. It's in charge of making all of the ice that will be used during the NHL Winter Classic at Michigan Stadium—aka "The Big House"—in Ann Arbor, Mich. on January 1.

So what's so special about this particular truck? For starters, the 53-foot trailer is the world's largest mobile refrigeration unit. It has state-of-the-art equipment in it that's capable of making ice that is thick enough to host an NHL game. And it just looks cool, doesn't it? It actually made a 272-mile trip from Toronto to Michigan just to make ice for the Winter Classic game, which will feature the Toronto Maple Leafs playing against the Detroit Red Wings.

The rink is currently under construction and will be finished in time for the game on New Year's Day. Check out the video to see the truck in action.
