My Top 10 NHL TV Commercials

Written by Bill Brister on April 27th, 2009 | 4 Comments

I have been saying for a long time that NHL commercials need to be more creative, more passionate and more edgy.  There have been a few campaigns that stick in my memory … the Hockey Falls guys … the coach that screws up the lessons at hockey practice “If we are going to win as a team, we need 100% of you guys, giving 110%, 100% of the time!”  Today I ran across a couple commericals for the Bruins and I watched them a few times, ok 5 times each!  I laughed out loud … the creativity in these commercials is simple yet brilliant!  Have a look for yourself … this got me thinking about my favorite Hockey commercials, I have put together my Top 10 List here … Enjoy!

I ran across Paul Benvin’s post today at The Hockey Writers Blog - Puke and Spitballs: Paul’s Top Ten Hockey Commercials - Man I did not know there were so many funny Hockey commercials out there.

Here is a rundown of my Top 10 NHL Hockey Commercials … If you would like to build this list leave a comment and lets make this a great collection of Hockey commercials.

Number 10: Joe Thornton making toast.

Number 9: Players concerned about their appearance now that there is High Def games broadcast

Number 8: Yo Mama fight between goalies (Ryan Miller)

Number 7: Coach explaining how to give 110%

Number 5: Anyone Order Swedish Twins?

Number 4: The Sportscenter Office’s
