Cartoonist Rube Goldberg was famous for illustrating fabulously involved machines intended for simple tasks. Goldberg would have loved Zamboni ice resurfacers-perhaps he would have even designed one had the thought had occurred to him. Fortunately, another great man took the ice-making and resurfacing idea from the drawing board to the rink. That man was Frank J. Zamboni, and he never dreamed that his name would become part of the woof and warp of the world's arena life. With this book we have a magnificent chronicle of the history of Zamboni's ice resurfacers, from the original machine and ice queen Sonja Henie's personal model right up to the present, streamlined contraptions that reside in virtually every rink from the company's home in Southern California to Moscow. Three cheers for the Zamboni and its history! -Stan Fischler MSG Network and Fox Sports New York hockey analystDregni, Eric is the author of 'Zamboni The Coolest Machines on Ice' with ISBN 9780760324394 and ISBN 0760324395.
