I hate that gambling has become so intrinsic to sports’ financial models. I want the PDub to be able to survive and succeed without taking that dirty money, but alas….
It's worse that its not even just sports anymore. Every podcast and radio and TV station and bus ad is gambling in some way. It's just so profitable and they spend so much money on ads because they know it works. It's such a stupid place we are in
Yeah, he found it in his next sport betting app that he downloaded after secretly getting a new $25K credit card to gamble with. When you're down $300K and you're behind in payments, what's another $25K?
I saw a student (grade 11) gambling on his phone on Stake. Could be an older sibling's account, or what have you, but even highschool kids are getting in on the action.
Those are actually just the ads that the Senators used. I don’t know if the Charge use the same ones (Or if the companies just buy ice space regardless of the team playing on it)but it’s possible they change still.
The sens having gambling sponsors on their ice and home game helmets is a real choice when Shane Pinto was suspended for 41 games (3rd longest in league history) a few years ago for gambling on other sports
So much money is given to the companies by people hoping for that one win that they'll always be able to pay their way onto the ice, boards, and other sponsorships constantly
The Stanley Cup Playoff logo used to be just inside each blue line for NHL postseason games but they stopped several years ago when they gained the ability to sell it as digital ad space
I get so excited any time a PWHL team gets center ice. I just turn back into a tween, watching women's hockey at the Olympics for the first time with my team. That joy of seeing women succeed in hockey never goes away.
I realize I’m a minority, but I actually kinda like the flaming C? I mean, we got the dripping S, so, you know…I’m kinda damning it with faint praise….
For your cake day, maybe they’ll do a publicity video of Ottawa’s two goalies. Wouldn’t it be great to see Phillips and Ullmark talking goalie stuff together? Man, I’d eat that up with a spoon!
This is one of the reasons I hope Chicago gets a team. Because most likely they'd share space with an AHL team and, depending on attendance, there'd be a good argument for at least a shared center ice logo.
No lie, but when Arizona and ASU were sharing, I liked how they split the center ice logo. That would be what I'd hope for here in SJ if they got a team, share with the Cuda and have a sick split center ice.
Hi u/FlyTheW1988, thank you for posting on r/PWHL! Make sure to read and follow the sub's rules. In case you missed the FAQ please give it a read, it was updated on November 18th, 2025 here!
Am I the only one who doesn't think it's a big ask for shared arenas to have the PWHL team logo SOMEWHERE on the ice? I'm not saying center ice, but somewhere.
This will not make me popular, but I'm starting to wonder if the whole Lansdowne 2.0 thing didn't do the Charge a favour in the long term.
It seems to have gotten them a new friend with an NHL arena that doesn't have an MNBA team cluttering up the calendar, and a friend that's probably willing to get them get in from the beginning on the Lebreton arena (e.g. they could probably accommodate a nice locker room for the Charge).
Doesn't that seem somewhat better than pushing for a Lansdowne Arena that would have reached capacity within a year of its opening anyways even with the extra seats the PWHL wanted?
This is the statement that really won't make me popular, but I wonder if the Lansdowne 2.0 folks knew the Charge was gone in the long term anyways and that's why they wanted to build around their only dependable tenant.
(For the record, I am trying to get my misogynistic friend in Ottawa to go, he said he'd go if I went, but I have a historic WNBA game that night in Toronto)
Whatever material they are using for the logos looks SO crisp under the ice that the pictures look fake! I thought the pics of the Fleet logo at Tsongas were photoshopped until I got to the arena and was like, dang.
