This Is What Happens When a Minor League Hockey Team Lets Kids Paint Its Ice

[doniceage]

Don’t worry if the Jan. 3 minor league hockey contest between the Stockton Thunder and San Francisco Bulls gets a tad dull (not that we’re saying it will) — you can just take a gander at the artwork slathered all over the ice.

Following a Dec. 29 Thunder game in the team’s Stockton, Calif., arena, the Thunder invited kids among the nearly 5,000 spectators to venture onto the ice, mingle with the players, and paint the ice. Yes, with actual paint.

You'd get used to it if you began watching games from the Czech Extraliga, haha.

You cannot see the puck on that first rink. Goalies are going to have their masks knocked off 3-4 times a game.

The 2nd rink is just stupid Europeans that think everything is a canvas for advertising. Any league that would allow either example needs it's self sorted out. There is nothing but puck injury happening in both scenarios,
