There have been a number of great NHL commercials put out by teams, leagues, and by individual companies. Some of the ads are truly awesome, but for completely different reasons. Here are some of my favorites.
I can’t stand the Capitals, but I think this is one of the best ads ever.
This next ad features Penguins players Colby Armstrong, Sergei Gonchar, Evgeni Malkin, and Max Talbot; the ad is truly awesome.
I think it was Armstrong’s performance in the ad that led him to be traded. Talbot comes off like a guy straight off the Jersey shore, and I’m pretty positive that Malkin has no idea what the hell is going on.
Here is a NIKE ad back from the '97-'98 season. I think they all feature French Canadian goalies that are uppity over being scored on.
Swedish Twins. Man, they can shake it.

This is one of my all-time favorite ads, as it features some really funny moments: Thornton stuffing his face with mints, a knee hockey game in the hotel room (this reminds me of one of my peewee road trips, where about six of us got caught by the hotel cops because we were playing full-contact hockey), and the Seinfeld-esqe “Ovechkin” from Crosby.
Let me know some of your favorites.

I hate toronto (sorry most of my comments start with that) I loved the one with the guy running all over toronto wearing rollerblades and a sundin jersey nailing people. Then out of the corner of the guy mats sundin himself comes and nailes him into the boardes preeeety funny. Sundin should come to Detroit if he wants to win and join the swedish elite league.

The Bud Ice "Beware the Penguins" commercials were classic in the mid-90's.
Just seeing a Penguin mouthing the "doobie, doobie, doo" was great.
Im sure there's a YouTube of it out there, but its 1 AM and im too tired to look.
Nice article.
oh and p.s.- Gonchar's quote: "Gino, take a Jag" is priceless.

Hands down Mark Messier's Lays chips commercials...
Naslund-Kovalchuk where they skate all over the city chasing the puck was pretty cool too.

NHL does have great commercials, I agree. Hopefully they can use them to bring attention back to the sport, as we enter one of the most exciting seasons in recent memory. The league also needs to do a better job marketing, I want to see more people in NHL jerseys.
