Zamboni Rodeo follows the fortunes of the Austin Ice Bats as they wander across Texas, living on junk food and beer, practicing in deserted malls, and navigating slushy ice in too-warm arenas. Writer Jason Cohen joined the team in the locker room between periods, suffered through every lurching bus ride and fog-delayed game, and even spent a night in the penalty box in his quest — hilariously documented here — to know heartland hockey in all its sorry glory. Photographs add to this lively, irreverent ride through the heady world of bush-league hockey. 1659206 2001 Zamboni Rodeo: Chasing Hockey Dreams from Austin to Albuquerque total:22|5:4|4:9|3:9|2:0|1:0| 22 83 30 5 4 0 false false Wed May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2002 Wed Jan 09 15:13:32 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 09 15:15:50 -0800 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Jul 07 07:29:08 -0700 2008 Mon Jun 30 08:59:34 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 07 07:29:08 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Fri Dec 14 19:29:34 -0800 2007 Fri Dec 14 19:29:34 -0800 2007 3 0 false false Wed Sep 10 12:44:25 -0700 2008 Thu Sep 25 17:24:42 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Fri Nov 14 10:16:38 -0800 2008 Fri Nov 14 10:17:03 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sun Nov 22 08:13:03 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 22 08:13:16 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Sat Oct 17 15:39:55 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 17 15:39:55 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Wed Sep 02 11:07:57 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 02 11:07:57 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu May 28 12:13:59 -0700 2009 Thu May 28 12:13:59 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri May 22 22:11:54 -0700 2009 Fri May 22 22:11:54 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Feb 02 21:05:59 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 02 21:05:59 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Mon Mar 02 07:03:46 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 29 09:32:22 -0800 2009 Mon Mar 02 07:03:46 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Fri Jan 09 11:37:17 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 09 11:37:17 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Tue Nov 11 22:49:43 -0800 2008 Tue Nov 11 22:49:43 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Thu Oct 30 12:10:59 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 30 12:10:59 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Wed Aug 13 11:37:36 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 13 11:37:36 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2003 Thu Jul 10 11:11:38 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 10 12:08:52 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Fri Jun 27 00:06:10 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 27 00:06:10 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sat Nov 01 15:33:24 -0700 2008 Thu Jun 26 09:46:34 -0700 2008 Sat Nov 01 15:33:24 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Wed Jan 16 10:21:19 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 16 10:21:19 -0800 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1563456
