I Wanna Drive A Zamboni

Collin, Dermot, Jake, and Mitchell ride a Zamboni during a Quad City Flames hockey game.

[@TheKickass227]

I drive the Zamboni in my home town and everytime I pull onto the ice this song comes on and I have never seen so many people sing this sing. I love my job

[@CindyLooWhovian]

I had that experience (sort of) - every time the Zamboni came on the ice at hockey games growing up, they played this song

Are you still a Zamboni driver?

[@TheKickass227]

@@esta7763 the rink I used to drive the zamboni closed down 6 years ago :(

[@FruitySelection]

@@TheKickass227 Thank you for your serivce. We need more Zamboni drivers like you.

[@joeeblow1234]

I work at a local arena, and i gotta say, when this song comes on, while on the machine, and everyone is looking at you... its an Awesome feeling!!

[@odaphi9886]

Total man and I always sing "I get to drive the zamboni"

[@rhettbruckner]

Totally agree! Even though we have olympias they’re all the same idea and all the kids know them as zams so I just say zam and also love it

[@joshgledhill4941]

❤

[@PhilMante]

The Zamboni driver is the real hero. Without him the boys couldn't play the game proper.

[@amandafenech3136]

I am a zamboni operator and this is by far my favorite song. I love my job and making young kids smile when I back out onto the ice with my boni😊

[@elcuhdeminnesota5489]

Years ago, in my second grade class, we used to have sing-along one of the songs that my teacher, Mr Newkirk played on his guitar. I just randomly remembered this song, and decided to look it up. Brings back good memories

[@austinhrkid1]

By far the best song to play at Hockey games

[@kathrynmassey3293]

I hope the kid in the song finally got to achieve his dream of being a Zamboni driver :’3

[@joanneberg8093]

It is my number one on my bucket list to drive a Zamboni

[@TheSRC88]

I grew up in southern Alabama and believe it or not when I was a kid we had a local ECHL hockey team the Mobile Mysticks and my parents had season tickets and I became a huge hockey fan early in life living in rural Alabama and this song brings back so many memories of going to games.

[@seanhartnett79]

I will Google it, it sounds cool.

[@seanhartnett79]

This is a real thing.

[@harveyglick6344]

Best vid ever. Remember years ago when took young hockey playing son to somewhere near West Chester PA (George Washington Arena?) and their gas powered Zamboni's fumes gave off so much ethyl menthol bad stuff bad fumes that the driver, all the parents and even people in the lobby had to leave the building as everyone got so sick. Luckily after an hour or so, everyone recovered. Love this song!

[@jackmandu]

Great tune by the Gear Daddies. They were a really fun band to watch at the bar or a basement party.

[@fourbyfourer]

My son was conceived on a zamboni.

The most Canadian comment 🥇

Good to hear

[@radlygirard2505]

[@raran44]

Was there a zamboner?

[@aliassmithandjones9453]

looks like another one of those jobs where it's fun for the first 10 minutes then becomes mindless drudgery

[@RaptorReplays]

Can confirm lol

[@jimmcdowell8163]

The greatest JOB! It’s the only job where you can immediately see your progress and everybody instantly appreciates the job you’ve done!!!!

[@stuffingtonjfluffypantsiii]

Growing up every year my grandma would take me to see Disney On Ice. As good as the shows were my favorite part was Intermission when the Zamboni came out

[@ianshelton6662]

I got the opportunity to scrub my school's cafeteria floor on a mini Zamboni in 3 days. I just have to pass a driving test. Wish me luck!

[@robertvaliante3429]

Been driving one for 10 years now. Besides my service in the USAF It's the best job I've ever had

[@brodoswaggins5387]

who in their right minds would ever down vote this video??

Baseball fans waiting for action during their game.

[@jakefavre]

[@hines862009]

When I was like 3 this was my favorite song.

[@spxmet]

God Bless Hockey. Welcome back guys.

[@ItalianPride2727]

This takes me back to San Jose Sharks games in the late 90's when I was little...great times!!

[@superlurf]

19 dislikes? They must be JEALOUS of those boys riding the zambonis.

[@liquidtompls5666]

If Minnesota had an anthem, this would be it

[@jasoncheckley4174]

The song of hockey man I miss it

[@archigan1]

Coming from Kraft HockeyVille 2019 this hits me because I used to go to the Huskies games.

[@pdt1515]

When one of the first lyrics in your song is, "I went down to the local arena," you know you're without a doubt in Minnesota!

[@kristie1929]

pdt1515 I pictured myself walking into my local arena in good ole SSP

[@gavinwurm3097]

Central Minnesota boy right here

[@waivedwench]

Or anywhere in Canada.

I LOVE THIS SONG 🎵 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@deneyubruno6309]

damn im 13 now and i used to listen to this song when i was like 3

[@Kellydiva28]

Love this song

[@kendo207]

That chick driving the Zamboni looks hot.

[@Ericb1980]

First heard this song at the Phoenix Roadrunners games in the early 90’s, the old affiliate of the LA Kings playing in the IHL. When my town of San Antonio finally got a legit team in the ahl and got to hear this song every night it was awesome. Till Henderson NV stole them and now I’m without hockey again 😔

[@seanhartnett79]

That sucks.

[@GregDrayGregDray]

I love the Gear Daddies I saw them sing this in Pittsburgh Pa! They are GREAT! GO PENGUINS!

[@austinbarkley5871]

Zamboni drivers favorite tune… it really is the best… it’s like Forrest Gump and the mower to hockey players and all Canadians. 🇨🇦 🇺🇸

[@carolyns1965]

love this song! I wanna drive the zamboni :)

[@humanoidbeing6988]

Then go get a drivers licence, get qualified, and DRIVE THE FUCKING ZAMBONI!!!

[@choate51]

I loved how they played this song at the CBJ game during the 2nd intermission

[@iamironman662]

Every canadians dream

[@radlygirard2505]

I don’t know about anyone else but this is me and my dads song and every time I here I tear up anyone else

[@waivedwench]

On my bucket list!!!

[@l.burgess6560]

I think the one at my local barn is an Olympia but hey, it's all the same when it comes to wanting to drive one.

[@kbuinowski]

we have a hockey team fort wayne komets.we used to be in the IHL then went to the UHL.went to the AHL/IHL for two seasons now the komets are in the ECHL.we used to play against Quad city mallards.

[@kylemartin8655]

This song brings be great pain now

[@unclefestus]

okay.... even so, I still wanna drive a zamboni as a job someday..... what are the job requirements for a zamboni driver? What would have to be on my resume for someone to even consider hiring me to drive the zamboni?

[@1real_one]

Yeaaah i wanna drive a zamboni !! Yes i do!

[@jelloshotrocks]

Anybody Can Drive one But Not Everyone Can Operate One!!!! There's A Big Difference Eh!!

[@killyw2634]

Not what the song is about its about driving it not working it

YodaCat you got that right

[@salemcripple]

I wanna drive the Zamboni!

[@unclefestus]

Great song. Now how the heck do I get to become a Zamboni driver anyway? This looks like the most awesome job one could ever have.

[@Mitsuraga]

It either pays like garbage, or you're expected to do a lot more than just drive the zamboni.

[@qcpuckhead]

@NHLBruinsFan2011 Unfortunately, yes. :( A lot of the local fans refused to support the team because they weren't named the Mallards (we had a UHL franchise for about 11 seasons before the Flames). The AHL team only lasted 2 years before the owners lost too much money to keep it going. The Quad Cities do have a AA-level CHL team now, though...but I miss AAA-level hockey.

[@wendylaskin9788]

That's Cool

[@GreaneyMusic]

just realized The PBR song is eerily similar to this gem

[@a32dd]

Super 👍👍👍😉

[@qcpuckhead]

@rocknarollsports Quick explanation of a long story: Started as Quad City Mallards in 95-96, dominated the Colonial Hockey League and United Hockey League until roughly 01-02 season. Huge crowds...7k+ per night; performance dropped off & about 2500 bandwagon fans disappeared. Owners brought in Calgary Flames' AHL franchise (QC Flames) for 07-08/08-09 seasons to reignite area's interest. Didn't work, now the Mallards can't pull enough fans to break even in CHL; 3 ownership changes since 08-09 .

[@TVAMERICAS]

Now I know what the heck is a Zamboni

[@kushkingla7385]

Zamboni was created in paramount California by Joh J Zamboni. Technically it's called an ice resurfacer. I guess it's like Kleenex for tissue or jacuzzi for hot tub.

[@maddog1974tm]

The Dubuque Fighting Saints rejected my offer to drive the zamboni for free because I also want to drive it to and from the rink on game days.

[@brettstearns7415]

Tom madden well then fuck them eh

[@superlurf]

23 JEALOUS HATERS

[@unclefestus]

How does one become a Zamboni driver anyway? Any drivers here want to tell me how I can eventually get to drive one of these?

[@bigtimeleafsfan]

it seems a bit lose ended to say its about just your rink. Sounds more like its about your zamboni anyways... and even then it could just be about any god damn zamboni as its not a song that goes into great detail.

[@MrAbbott1234]

I've saw Them
