Agreed. At this point actively encouraging people to go out on the ice is, IMO, malicious. Many people that come for the derby aren't familiar with the local conditions day to day, they may not realize that much of the lake is precarious and they need to be EXTREMELY cautious. Falling through ice into frigid water is no joke.
