Missing tooth?

I would have thought Robb would have had him as a Flyer. Guessing that there are a lot of hoops to go through to get NHL permission or high fees involved.

Crunchy… a surname made for hockey!

Never heard anyone call that anything but a Zamboni before… Or is that just a Canadian thing?

I wonder if that was Sunny cheering for Kenny in that first panel?

I wanna Zamboni of my ownie

He’s going to run that place when he’s 18/.

Good to know Kenny has such a bright future.

What year is that on that “Stanley Cup”?

Why is Kenny’s last name shown as Crunchy, I thought his adopted mother’s & father’s last names were Ramsey.

What kind of idiot would buy a little kid his own skating rink?

I usually serve my zamboni with a red sauce!

Makes you wonder why Kenny ignored his mother’s words and didn’t thank his father, when he knew Delray was responsible for him getting the skating rink and not his mother.

Free to the public? I can only imagine the huge operating costs of a facility that large. Perhaps the roof is filled with solar panels to reduce energy costs, and the business is subsidized by the City of Philadelphia?

You think of Zambonis, you think of hockey, and wonder where in Canada it was invented… Los Angeles. An engineer whose family owned a rink. He thought it would be better than manually scraping the ice. I don’t know if he’d have liked Schulz thinking the word Zamboni was funny – his name was Zamboni.

I don’t get why Kenny doesn’t say “Thanks, Dad” in the last panel. Mom explicitly told him to do that.
