Hey Joey - welcome to the forums!
This is a very timely post as I just had our hot/cold spigot installed this past Monday. Obviously I haven't tried it yet. I've used nothing but cold water the last several years and I've had some stellar ice. That said, my reasoning for putting in the hot/cold spigot is that there MUST be a reason why zambonis use exclusively hot, right? So once we have ice, in the next few weeks, I'm going to do an experiment. I'll homeboni half the rink using hot water and half the rink using cold, then compare. Look for it in a blog post sometime this winter!
