Well, if I remember my
Silmarillion right, Melkor was a big ice-maker at one time. Perhaps the executors of the Utumno Estate (Messrs. Gorthaur, Balrog, & Smaug) sold the company. I can imagine the EHL (Elven Hockey League) having been interesting in purchasing it to provide an arena for the Lindon Canucks and the Rivendell Maple Leaves. Or perhaps Cirdan went into the ice-and-zamboni business after that disastrous foray into discovering the north-east passage. THAT was quite a mission. One king and two palantiri never seen again, and the Ring of Barahir saved only by a turn of luck...
Still, the great days of the EHL are long gone. Remember when Wayne Gretzndil played with the Annuminas Oilers? Pity they traded him to the Minas Tirith Kings....
