There were a series of them when Leonsis first bought the team.

There was also one with "crazy rons car sales" with ron wilson as a used car guy, and craig loughlin in a jewellry store, and Adam Oates in a laundromat

There was one in that series with I think Konowalchuk and another guy at a diner and they were putting their right arms on the table and everytime the waitress wanted to serve something they swept their arms like it was a faceoff and cleared the table ;-)

Mats Sundin Rolleblading commercial

What do you guys think of the new Crosby "sticks" ad for Gatorade Is IT in you?

And who is the Russian player in the red jersey?

The Molson ads during the lockout "Hockey please come back" with sad Canadians and the music "Do ya really want to hurt me?" was a brilliant campaign.

anyone remember the old fedex commercials with the stanley cup??

That was a great ad - I have a copy of it somewhere.

And a reel of most hockey related ads...must try to dig them up, there's a few that people have mentioned here on it. I used to teach an advertising strategy class and have students segment the different "hockey audiences" and figure out what motivates them. Used to have them lurk on MSH for homework! Then we'd review the ads and critique them.

We'd also do fashion, mack!

Great thread.

the nike breakway commercial is great....that is absolutely great

[Chadd 916]

The ones with the Sun Tzu quotes, maybe?

Yeah....those suck.

Only the NHL could make Sun Tzu seem cheesy. I need to get a new copy of the art of war at some point I lost my old one a long time ago.

YouTube this, YouTube that, you can find ANY type of video on that site.

The NHL shoulda done something along the lines of those Nike commercials. There ad campaign for this year was terrible-- absolutely horrible commercials.

Nothing like marketing your sport by using actors. Every other sport in the world markets players, except the NHL. The original ESPN-NHL commercials were fantastic and really fit the network at the time.

Ya-- even in the playoffs when they finally decided to use the players it was done to awkwardly-- Brindamour breaking a stick over his leg--- Lidstrom skating and stopping 10 feet away and awkwardly by the camera-- doberman pincher dogs barking-- absolutely terrible. After the first - second time seeing it i had to switch the channel when it came on --it was sooo bad. I dont know what company they used to come up with the marketing theme - but it was bad.

Hope they go in a different direction next year-- something easy going funny and corky-- like that french canadian goaltender/taxi driver. Great Stuff.

The ones that had the members of the ESPN crew in them too? I'm partial to the one where they're picking teams for street hockey. "No, I don't want Clemente. Clemente, Clemente, hands of cement".

[Chadd 916]

I thought that was a beer commercial?

[kosydar 0]

It could have been. I remember it had Clemente, Englom, Thorne, Melrose, and Espo. I just assumed it was for the NHL on ESPN. Its been a few years though, you're probably right.

[Buzz_LightBeer 974]

"Guys, whose turn was it to bring the puck?"

"BARRY"S"

WHo remembers the Bubble Boy Hockey commercials? With Gretz>

"Ah! He is behind the net again!"

"Go get him!"

"We don't go back there!"

"His arms and legs are moving!"

[kovalchuk71 212]

The OLN commericals were even worse

[Chadd 916]

Espo was in on the beer spots but not the ESPN ones from what I recall.
