Blue Ice

Why was the Ice blue for 1980 Olympic Hockey?

Ok, this has been bugging me for a long time and I can't find the answer anywhere else online. So why were there blue patches of ice at the 1980 Olympic hockey Arena? Does anybody know what I mean? The random blue patches of ice mixed in with the white for ice hockey? Where any other ice rinks like this at the time? I'm only 17 and I'd just like to know... Thanks a lot!

They put blue dye in the water before freezing to make the puck stand out just a little better on TV. It didn't work.
