"Due to the job's typically low pay and irregular hours, it's a perennial hiring problem"

It's always been a problem, they don't pay enough and it's not a stable job. They didn't even mention what the pay was in the article unless I missed it.

The job is best for retired hockey player. It’s really a great job to have, people leave you alone, you just drive the Zamboni for 20 hrs a week, clean up locker rooms, take out the trash. Much better than being a grocery store clerk if you are just in supplement your pension or SS.

Except for when something goes wrong and you have to fix something quickly or the changeover season that takes lots of long hours

Most rink jobs I’ve seen are unpaid and volunteer. Find it hard to believe with the price of ice time that they can’t afford to pay better. Always said growing up it would be an awesome part time thing to give back to the hockey community, but I gotta pay bills.
