Two Man Advantage is a hockey themed punk rock group, from Merrick, Long Island, New York. They met via Beer-League hockey and formed the band in 1997. Their shows are very wild as they will dress up and basically put on a "Mock hockey game" on-stage. Their songs are very fast and are almost always about either hockey or beer.The band achieved some degree of notoriety in 2004 for their legal entanglements with the Zamboni company over the song "Zamboni Driving Maniac". Many songs pay homage to the 1980s New York Islanders, and the Nassau Coliseum as well. Two Man Advantage was active in the New York Hardcore scene for many years, and still continues to play shows locally throughout the New York metro area.
