The Zambonis are not only a hilariously funny band that captures the essence of Hockey, but they have songs that are so good that you end up singing them to yourself for days. A must buy for all Hockey fans or anyone who is tired of bands that take themselves too seriously. Great music and great fun.

BUY THIS ALBUM! I am actually not even a huge hockey fan. I saw the whalers once and that was cool but these guys are beyond cool. It is my new mission in life to make the Zambonis the biggest thing since...well the Zamboni. The music is great. Well thought out riffs that remind one of "They Might Be Giants" on Labatts. I can't stop listening to "Hockey Monkey" or the Gregorian Chant/Tripped out "Hextall". I mean it. These puck heads are real musicians.

I happen to live in CT, where hockey is a big thing, so big, that Dave Zamboni (The lead singer of this band), is the MC for the Bridgeport Soundtigers (Islanders affiliate AHL team). This CD is great! It's got the catchy tune "Hockey Monkey", which is just a funny song. If you like hockey, then you will LOVE this CD!

This is probally the bands best CD. And this band is one of the best kept secrets in the hockey world. The band uses a few different musical styles, but it all revolves around hockey, and the music can be catchy even if your not a hockey fan. The lyrics are great, well written, but not too serious. I got this CD months ago, and I've still got it in my CD player.

While the Whale is dead, (long live the Hurricanes) the rest of this album is great. There just aren't enough hockey bands these days

The Zambonis create a sound of mixed metaphors that pleases the die-hard hockey fan as well as the lover of great, fun music. Though a serious outfit of talented writers and musicians they don't hold themselves too serious. An infectious live show! with no loss of impact when recorded. Anyone who has ever loved any losing team will feel the pain of The Wait - my personal favorite.

A+ fantastic

Knowing that The Zambonis are buddies with Harry and The Potters, you can automatically assume that they will rock. And they do, as long as you like hockey. If not, the album can appear stupid and confusing. Except for "Hockey Monkey," of course. It was recently the #1 alternative song on the Sirius Sattelite Radio station, "AltNation." But honestly, the album is pretty hard not to like, with its mix of different styles of music, from game chants to ska tunes to pop hits.

I love minor-league hockey, which is what the Zambonis sing about, so this disc was a must-own for me. The standout songs on this CD are "Johnny got Suspended" (for wearing an Islanders sucks t-shirt, oh yes he did), "Bob Marley and the Hartford Whalers" (big ups for mentioning the Quebec Nordiques too) and the super cute "Hockey Monkey" - although "The Wait" best describes fans of my local team! Personally, I love the ska flavor of "The Breakaway" - it is my favorite song on this CD. I also like the little chants and stuff they put on here, like "Hextall" and "Drop That Puck". It's hella fun to listen to in the car on the way to the game (we always end up singing along) or in the summer, personally when I miss the ice most.

Cudos, Mark...

I have rocked in the Mall for over ten years, before the sad day came.

Keep the memory alive!

The Whalers will be back in Hartford where they belong!

Anything that keeps the memory of the Great Hartford Whalers alive is a five-star prize in my book. THE WHALE WILL RETURN TO HARTFORD!
