If I remember back in the early days of the NHL, the home team wore their white jerseys and the road team wore their colored jerseys. In the season before the first lockout in 2004-2005, they switched them. Since then, the home team wears their colored jerseys and the road team wears white. However, on some occasions, they will wear white at home at colored on the road. There is also a third jersey which the home team wears on a given day. Why did the league decided to switch the jerseys? I do like the teams wearing colored at home because I would rather see the home team look good in color instead of in white. Colors look better than black and white. And I am glad they made that change Read more...
What is one way a team and league make money? Sponsors. If you see advertising on the dasher boards at the arenas, you know that company is a sponsor of the team, of course, if a game is nationally televised, they put the league-wide sponsors on the dasher boards. And at some arenas, they change the ads during the intermissions. Why and how do they do that? Not to mention, the sponsors change a lot. Here are the NHL's league-wide current sponsors in both countries:
Some local teams use another sponsor that is in the same industry as a league-wide sponsor. Like, for example, the San Jose Sharks are sponsored by Toyota instead of Honda, who are both in the automotive industry, and the Minnesota Wild are sponsored by AT&T instead of Verizon, in the telecommunications industry. What do you think about sponsorships? Read more...
I want every single team to have at least one player in the all star game. I thought about my choices carefully based on their position. Not every team has been involved since the all star game in 2006-2007 in Dallas. Every team was involved in that all star game. The Sharks had the most all stars in that game with 3. Hopefully, every team has a player in the next all star game Read more...
I've seen a lot of fast players that are experienced wear either Easton or Graf skates. Now I know it's about the player himself that makes him who he is, but I've seen more players wear Easton or Graf. Which brand do you think is better? Read more...

I'm a beginning guitarist and I have a long list of songs I want to learn how to play. I've started with Crazy Train and Smoke on the Water. Is there any other good songs that are easy to play that you know of? Read more...
There is no PA announcer during the game until there is 1 minute left in a period. I would rather hear my music. I always think of hockey when I hear some specific songs Read more...
