The Zambonis on CNN

21 December, 2008

In May of this year, I got to meet Dave Zamboni of North America’s favorite All-Hockey Band The Zambonis. Never mind the fact that Dave is a really cool guy — he has a collection of hockey organs, I mean how cool is that –

Next Time You're in Anaheim, Bring Your Ducks-Branded Slide Rule

29 September, 2008

Who says learning can’t be fun? The Science of Hockey will debut at Anaheim’s Discovery Science Center in March of next year, and it looks to be an entertaining way of integrating scientific concepts into a hockey context.
The 3,000-foot exhibit, which will permanently occupy part of the center’s second floor, is meant to teach basic [...]

It's Getting Dazzling in the Competition for the Duchesne Cup

22 September, 2008

This Gaetan Duchesne Cup competition, I’m starting to really dig it; I think the Caps may well wanna keep it around a while. Sunday’s first scrimmage was entertaining and good fun, but Monday’s, which featured Alexander Ovechkin in a competitive environment for the first time in the 2008 camp, was on a whole ‘nother level [...]

Deep Frozen Thoughts at the Start of July

1 July, 2008

Recently we found out about the existence of Lee Twombly Pond in Falmouth, Maine. It’s claim to fame — aside from being astoundingly gorgeous — is its existence as “Northern New Engalnd’s only refrigerated outdoor skating surface.”
They actually Zamboni this outdoor sheet numerous times each winter day, weather permitting. The Pond House at the Pond [...]

Fight Cancer with Hockey, Cake, The Zambonis, and More

18 April, 2008

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 [...]

'Tis the Season for Unsanctioned Skating

25 December, 2007

Rink ice is rarely rented during the holiday week. The principal payoff for a year’s worth of surrendered Sundays making ice¬†there is this week: the¬†evening sheets are¬†mine for endless recreating. If Christmas makes children of us all, Christmas week makes me l’enfant de shinny.
My beer league teammates always answer the call. Richard and Andrew, hideously [...]

Rink of Fire

8 December, 2007

Just got word of a Zamboni catching fire at Kettler Capitals this morning right before the Caps were to skate.
This hasn’t been a good season¬†for the big rigs.
Update: No injuries. The machine was pushed off the ice. Hydrolic fluid, however, pooled on the ice and had to be cut out.
No word if a replacement rig was [...]

Cooling Thoughts Amid Mercury Madness: The Heritage Classic, a Reminiscence

10 July, 2007

OFB reader Chris Meza helpfully reminded me this morning of cooler times, and specifically of November 22, 2003 — date of the Heritage Classic outdoor hockey game between Montreal and Edmonton. Chris is a good person to talk to about that event, seeing as he traveled from Washington all the way to Alberta that weekend [...]
