My friend Jay not only has a cool job, he knows cool people, too. He recently introduced me to Dave Zamboni who is described by Jay as “the free-skating guitar-man / defenseman for the ultra hip hockey rockers The Zambonis.” Speaking with Dave, he told me about a great event coming to our area in May.
The Zambonis will be performing at a one-day “fun filled extravaganza” to raise money to fight cancer. In addition to The Zambonis playing live, there will be a hockey game, skate-a-thon, skills competition, broom ball, rides, carnival games, vendors, food and Duff “Ace of Cakes” Goldman from Charm City Cakes. Oh…. and to help everyone fight cancer… a special appearance by the Hanson Brothers.
Here are the particulars:
Hockey Fights Cancer Maryland, Sunday, 4 May, 2008 - Ice World in Harford County, Maryland
- Washington Capitals / Philadelphia Flyers Alumni Hockey Game
- SKATE-A-THON with celebrities - ( Kimmie Meissner, Duff “Ace of Cakes” Goldman, NHL Hockey Legends, and more)
- Live music by The Zambonis
- Live music by Katelyn Tarver
- Appearance by the Hanson Brothers from the movie Slap Shot
- rides, games, food, fun, and more
We’ll have more details as the event draws closer and perhaps even have a special OFB/Zambonis promotion. Until then, check out this brilliant commercial promoting the event.

This is awesome, I love The Zambonis. I wish the VC would use their version of The Hockey Song.
Sounds like a great event! And that cake guy? AMAZING!!!
I recently heard about this event. Since it’s happening at about 15 minutes drive from my home, I hope I make it there. Depends on the entry fee.
Watching “Ace Of Cakes” on a regular basis, it becomes obvious that he’s a hockey fan. However, I heard he prefers the Boston Bruins.
