nate94gt 134 Report post Posted March 27, 2011 When did they start those? I noticed in the replay from a game from 87 that there were no ads on the boards. I would have swore that they were on there before then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CenterIce 83 Report post Posted March 27, 2011 http://proicehockey.about.com/od/history/f/rink_ads.htm NHL clubs were granted the right to place ads on the boards beginning with the 1978-79 season, but the first ads did not appear until 1980. Within ten years every NHL arena had advertising on its rink boards. Ads painted on the ice first appeared in the early 1990s.[/Quote]FSD started putting the ads on the glass near the end of last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wings1110 184 Report post Posted March 28, 2011 no ads anywhere would be my preferance, as well as not selling parts if the game to sponsors (bell tire powerplay). while talking about ads i would like to say the the bernstein law commercials are aweful thats the ugliest damn family in the world, and i shouldnt have to see their ugliness every commercial.
