Welcome to the Hockey Hall of Shame! Brace yourselves as you delve deep into the weird world of professional hockey. Here you will get to feast your eyes upon some of hockey’s worst marketing decisions and bone-headed blunders. Take a trip down memory lane as you remember all of those disastrous moments that made you wish you had never found the sport of hockey. In the “Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time” wing of the HHOS, you will be treated to articles describing our dishonourable moments of hockey’s past.
“Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time” Wing:
Dishonourable Inductions:
One of the most infamous marketing decisions in hockey history: Charles O. Finley’s ill-conceived white skates, which he forced upon his beleaguered California Golden Seals back in January 1972. This moment is truly the rock on which the HHOS was founded.
Our second initial inductee is the lesser-known, but far more recent Guardian Project. Comic book fans may want to hide their eyes when reading this article. Just be warned, all you Avengers fans, there is a nasty surprise lurking inside!
Other wings of the HHOS:
Gasp in horror at the cardboard you once spent money on as a kid, but never noticed looked completely out-of-the-ordinary. Well, maybe you did notice, because even as a ten-year-old, there is no way you would think these cards were normal-looking.
