One of many ways we are celebrating our tenth anniversary is with the return of NCAA center ice designs. 

It is hard to believe The Faceoff is 10 years old. When I started this site, it was mostly just to show off a few of my graphics that I had created. I never believed it would turn into what it is today.

Getting back to our throwback series with a look at a return of the 80's and 90's. The Canucks skate logo was around for a couple decades but only appeared in the center ice circle for 6 years. 

Just 4 hours ago, we uploaded the final 2021 NHL season center ice graphic, or so we thought. The Islanders have already changed up their ice a bit, just a couple weeks into the season

We are the only center ice archive on the web, and we strive for accuracy. Let's take a look at some improvements we have been working on the last month or two. 

With the NHL season finally on our doorstep, there are still several unknowns. Perhaps the largest question is where the Canadian teams will play this season if their government does not allow them to play in their country. The NHL has mentioned the possibility of the teams having to play in the United States. 

With the 10 year naming rights deal expiring this past summer, and no known extension being announced, it is possible the Canucks could soon return to a renamed arena. Here is who we believe might be the front-runner, and fans are not going to appreciate it.

While we didn't get too excited over the Reverse Retro jerseys, this did lead to a few ideas for other uses of these new logos. What if we put them on ice. So head over to our Reverse Retro Center Ice Concepts to see these as they are added. 

Our suspicions following the "Pepsi" branding omission in NHL 21 have now been confirmed. The home arena of the Colorado Avalanche has been renamed Bell Arena.

There has been no news on the naming rights front for the Avalanche since last September when the team renewed their naming rights agreement for a one year extension. That extension is now up, and NHL 21 may have just given us a clue suggesting that Pepsi will not renew the naming rights to the home of the Avs.
