If you are out on the ice BEFORE the Zamboni resurfaces, roughtop tread would probably be your best bet. The ice would be covered with snow from the hockey action in the previous period. And dial back the power to the wheels. Once you start slipping, its all over, you're out of control.
(Or like we say here in New England while driving in wintery conditions, "Here, hold my coffee and watch this!")
