They call me the Master Iceman

They call me the Master Iceman. I run Columbia Ice, A Uniquely Canadian Ice Company in Alberta. Really the only Canadian owned option for packaged ice delivery in Alberta. Arctic Glacier Edmonton and Arctic Glacier ice in Calgary, the big American owned ice company, is the competition.

Columbia Ice is a flea, trying to become a mouse, competing against the elephant, Arctic Glacier... as much a flea competes with an elephant.

I am my own boss for the most part. There is an owner, Jake, he is cool to deal with. He looks like the Daredevil in the TV series. I am convinced by night, he fights crime. Would be rather cool if he did. He bought Columbia Ice a few months ago from Ernie Graveline who owned the company for the past 14 teen years. Transition has gone well, still tidying up loose ends which is to be expected when you sell a company.

I have tried X, I have tried Youtube, Tiktok and Instagram as a way to communicate my story but I really dislike social media. I am old school, I like to write, I like to blog, even if nobody reads this blog or knows what a blog is anymore. Call it a public dairy of my story in ice, the story of Columbia Ice, the story of running an NSF audited food facility. I will delve into a variety of topics other than ice so please don't typecast me. My grammer will be that of a 48 year old frostbitten mind who has had too much craft beer in his life. I hope you enjoy these blog posts, please subscribe, ask questions, share on social media.

Here is an old video I did back in the day when Ernie was the owner.

From Canadian Roots to American Ownership: The Journey of Arctic Glacier

Arctic Glacier, a name synonymous with packaged ice across North America, has a rich history that spans over a century, beginning in the frigid winters of Winnipeg, Manitoba. What started as a modest Canadian operation harvesting ice from the Red River has evolved into a powerhouse in the packaged ice industry, now under American ownership . This transformation is a tale of entrepreneurial spirit, strategic expansion, financial turbulence, and a pivotal shift across borders. Let’s dive into how Arctic Glacier went from a Canadian-owned enterprise to an American-owned company. The Canadian Beginnings: A Legacy Forged in Ice Arctic Glacier’s story begins in 1882 with the founding of The Arctic Ice Company by Charles H. McNaughton in Winnipeg. Armed with two horses, a couple of wagons, and an icehouse, McNaughton and his partner James S. Nicholson carved out a business by cutting ice from the Red River, insulating it with sawdust, and delivering it to local residents. This was a quinte...

The History of the Vogt Ice Maker: A Frozen Revolution

When you pop an ice cube into your drink or marvel at a perfectly chilled dessert, you might not think about the engineering behind it. But for over 85 years, Vogt Ice has been a name synonymous with ice-making innovation. From its game-changing invention in 1938 to its global reach today, the Vogt ice maker’s history is a cool tale of ingenuity, durability, and a relentless pursuit of quality. Let’s crack open the story of how Vogt turned ice into an art form—and a science. The Spark of a New Era The Vogt ice maker story begins in Louisville, Kentucky, with the Henry Vogt Machine Company, a firm already known for crafting heavy-duty industrial equipment by the early 20th century. Founded in 1880 by German immigrant Henry Vogt, the company had built a reputation for forging everything from steam engines to valves. But in 1938, Vogt engineers took a bold leap into uncharted territory: they invented the world’s first automatic sized ice machine, dubbed the Tube-Ice Machine. Before thi...

The Iceman: Toronto’s Coolest Legacy in Ice Solutions

At the time, Toronto’s hospitality industry—restaurants, bars, and hotels—was crying out for reliable ice options.
