"On paper, it sounds like a novelty: an album of songs that celebrate hockey. But in the hands of The Zambonis (a pop-rock quartet named after the ice-grooming machine), the concept is elevated to an art form that won't melt under the heat of critics or music fans. Despite the specificity of the album's theme, The Zambonis rock out like the best power pop units. What's more, they have a sense of humor about themselves... A timely and surprisingly appealing release."
--BILLBOARD
Since 1991, The Zambonis have performed their singular blend of power pop and hockey fanaticism all over the world, from Latvia to the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Few rock bands have been featured in both Sports Illustrated and Billboard. But the lovably quirky all-hockey-rock Zambonis have managed the hat trick of impressing music fans, sports freaks and critics simultaneously. The band has been profiled and featured on CNBC, MTV, ESPN2, FOX Sports, WNBC-TV's "Live at Five", such syndicated puck programs as Hockey Week and Cool Shots, as well as The New Yorker, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Hockey Digest, New York Post, Nickelodeon, and dozens more. Their new single "Just Play" is a message from fans to NHL players in response to the current lock-out. In the words of the Los Angeles Times, "For the true hockey fan, this is a must. For the casual fan, it's still one big smile."
