Welcome to The Faceoff. Your home for the only center ice archive on the internet. On top of that we cover hockey scoreboards, goal horns and more.
Why the name change? We used to be Frozen Faceoff. After 7 years we thought it would be nice not to be confused with the NCAA tournament by the same name. Granted, we had the name before the NCAA started using it, but we never trademarked it. Also, I want to be clear: the NCAA never gave us trouble so we did manage to co-exist without incident. Aside from that, it's nice to have a shorter URL and we also wanted to go for something a little more modern.
Now let’s take a look at what you can expect to see around the site.
Our site started out as nothing more than a place to show off center ice graphics, and has continued to primarily focus on archiving center ice designs from all the biggest leagues. Recently we revamped all of our current NHL center ice graphics with a new, higher quality full ice rink template. All new ice graphics going forward will also be in the new full rink layout.
We are continuing to recreate new NHL and AHL scoreboards as they are built. We have also teamed up with Dryve who is working on turning all of our NHL scoreboards into 3D Models. Along with this we will also be working on more animated scoreboard videos and some brand new scoreboard info-graphics that will blow our old ones away.
Our goal horns page used to be cumbersome to browse, especially if you were looking for how many teams had a real horn or which teams used a certain type of horn. Now, you can find all this information on one page with our new table style layout. You can also view photos of most goal horns by clicking on the team in the table.
This section hasn't changed in a while, mostly because arena logos really do not change all that often. We already have most of the NHL arenas and their previous logos up-to-date. We are also working on adding AHL logos, starting with all the current day logos!
Not much has changed with this section. We just keep creating concepts when the need arises. If you have an idea for a concept, feel free to let us know: admin@frozenfaceoff.net.
