New Ice

[Temme]

Look good!

They've flipped the logo so that it faces away from the benches too, i wonder why?

 

[Skippy]

Might be so its not always upside down on the web cast ?

I'm pretty sure the logo was facing away from the benches last season also. I for one think that it has to be something to do with livestream as it would look stupid having an upside down logo.

Lets hope the new rink has a logo that is facing towards the benches.

I'm pretty certain it faced that way last year too.

If you look on this video from early on last year you can see it's facing the benches.

(There's a centre ice face off at 3:30 on the video)

I doubt it matters too much, probably is to do with the webcast i'd imagine, although i think it's unusual to face the logo away from the players?

It's been the other way the last few years for the sky / ps cameras. It was facing away from the bench prior to this

also a nice touch centre ice in memory of a cardiff player that passed away recently.

The logo was facing away from the benches last season. The video clip is from early last season before it was redone - it still has acityabode as main sponsor...

Here it is 2 weeks ago...

Thought I wasn't going mad!

I seem to have missed something here, who has died and what centre ice tribute can you see?

 

[Temme]

It's honestly not something i've ever paid attention too! I just saw Todd's photo (the original one on this thread) and thought it was weird that it faced away from the players on the bench! Ah Voila, the first video of a game i find on Youtube is from before they painted it last year :lol:

I think the sponsors look good too, and it's not overkill like Sheffields!

The centre ice mini-circle says "BEN BEER" on it - he was the son of Anthony Beer that passed away last week aged 25.

Who passed away ?

Doesn't look like we've implemented the new smaller neutral/enlarged offensive zone.

I thought that was coming into effect for next season ?

 

[Ocko]

Coming into effect for all teams next year but some were implementing it this year too.

Do Sheffield still have that ridiculous black box behind the goal?

They still haven't got ice yet (ha!) so who knows?!
