Why did Ave called his board company Hockey
-
Was hoping this was gonna be about the 24 team playoff
-
I think I'm the only one on Slap at this point that thinks Hockey is a sick name. Also I thought it was Benny's company.
-
I think the name is great.
-
Why did Ave called his board company Hockey
There's an interview somewhere of Dill talking about why it's called Hockey.
-
Yeah why did Ave called?
-
Misspelling. It was supposed to be hokey.
-
I played hockey from age 4 through high school. Great times.
Remember when one of the networks had a glowing puck in their tv broadcast for a couple years? That was weird.

Hahah! I remember that glowing puck too. I could be mistaken but I think they were doing that so non hockey fans could see the puck a little bit easier, but we all know those fans were only there for the fights.

FoxTrax! mid to late 90s. I was just a little guy and thought it was kinda neat at the time.

Hockey Skateboards started with the focus on two guys, Donovon Piscopo and John Fitzgerald. In the words of Anthony Van Engelen: “If you skate with those dudes, they are so gnarly… it’s kind of brutal, kind of like Hockey.” - AVE.
It could also be ironic, since Hockey is a competitive team sport and I guess Hockey is one of the least X-games/Street league sort of brands.
-
It’s about attitude and being the white power FA
Thought it was Mike V’s brand
-
Dill named it, he said why in an interview.
-
I remember hearing it was because white people play hockey and the original team was all white kids. It’s a better name than Frog I think.
-
Always thought Hockey was a blue collar sport, and I think that name fitted John and Donovon perfectly.
-
Was hoping this was gonna be about the 24 team playoff
What they are doing is actually ridiculous. I'm a diehard Leafs fan, and making it 8 teams (which would screw us over) makes way more sense.
-
Who cares? The Blues are still the Stanley cup champions.
-

I thought it was stupid at first but it grew on me fast.
-

The leafs might have to play the blue jackets in the first round and if they win they would still have to lose to the bruins in the 1st round again with the new format. love the leafs i jsut can't cheer for them during playoffs
-
Because he had to name the company something sick in order to counterbalance how stupid Fucking Awesome sounds. Hockey is a great name. I remember Dill mentioning somewhere it was originally going to be "Hockey Fight", not sure if I'd prefer that to the brevity of the one word name or not.
-
It's so expensive to play hockey.
-
It's so expensive to play hockey.
indeed. my son is a goalie and that gear is expensive as fuck. thank christ he's really good.
-
my buddy bought the domain name hockeyskateboards.com
why did your buddy do that? they never planned on using that domain lol. was he trying to "cybersquat" dill/ave? ;D
-
Why is a fish called a fish
-
Pizza was taken unfortunately.

I knew a paramedic who took an extra job just so he could pay for his son's hockey expenses. His son was in some higher league and needed tons of dough just for the formal suit and tie he wore into and out of the games, not even any equipment.
-
pandering to Canadians obviously
-
Have a Hockey board now. Superb.
-
Wasn’t the full name “Hockey Eyes
Without a Face” or something? Had to do with that hockey goalie graphic.
Dill said that a lot of graphic ideas come from shit that scares him, and that seems to be concentrated more heavily on the Hockey side of things. So that means Dill is afraid of:
-masks
-the killers in slasher movies (see above)
-kidnappers (often wear masks)
-mean dogs (would probably wear masks if they could)
-Hockey players (masks)
Most of these are primal, childlike fears. Boogeymen, real and imagined.
The more abstract, adult-type fears like global warming/financial collapse/dangers of organized religion are focused more on the FA side. Which is ironic because you’d think the brand with the word “Fucking” in its name would speak more to his inner 5th grader.
But that’s Dill: an enigma... bobbing up and down in a bottle of narcotic cough syrup.

bruh some of you dudes type the corniest shit.

Ehhh. Way to over think it. Hockey is Benny Magliano's brain child and does all the graphics. He's pretty big into movies from the 70's/80's hence all the movie references and use of songs from soundtracks for pretty much all their edits.

^ I was just being a little facetious there.

I do enjoy that somewhere deep down, Pickles biggest fear is probably Jason with Billy Idol backing him up for a rumble. I say print the legend.
-
Hockey is sick. Team is good. Shapes are good. Always thought AVE would fit better on that team tho.
-
I think they're still sticking to Hockey Eyes Without A Face theme, seeing that a lot of the team boards have been people wearing masks.

I wonder how this worked with Mason Silva & Austyn Gillette and FUNERAL HOME.

100% these two. And to tie it all together the tagline "Eyes Without a Face" also references the film Eyes Without a Face (1960, France, dir. Georges Franju). There's a board and a nifty/fancy/too expensive polo shirt that used the film's poster artwork. So it's not strictly 70's/80's films, but yeah, pretty much.
My favorite Hockey deck at this point is the Ben Kadow "Metal Mask" deck which is actually the mask from Demons (1985, Italy, dir. Lamberto Bava, prod. Dario Argento). I initially thought that Kadow just lucked out with this graphic, but I stumbled across an interview where he mentions Phenomena (1985, Italy) and Dario Argento, which flagged him as a full-on fan.
That early Hockey deck with the young Jason Vorhees graphic is pretty gnarly too. I'm stoked when companies use interesting non-skate images and references like this. However, I'm older and a massive film buff, so maybe I'm the only who gets a boner over this shit.

I think the company's safe in Benny Magliano's hands though.
Thank you for that.

I didn't know about the Metal Mask, that's cool. Wasn't there an early The Deer Hunter graphic as well? I really like the Rollerball (1975) one as well.

Suspiria board graphic confirmed? I would def get one
-
There's a Deathwish Kirby with a Suspiria graphic already if you can still find one somewhere
-
I still have a brand new Hockey deck with the Eyes Without A Face movie poster graphic.
-
because if you took a video of a hockey player pushing a puck around with a hockey stick, and then cut the player out using special effects, the stick floating through the air and the puck sliding along below it would vaguely resemble a skateboard if you really took liberties in describing it.

honk honk honk

hockey is basically deathwish but with better brand execution

Deliverance! That's a great graphic.
Yeah, the new batch of graphics are pretty rad. Looks like the Andrew Allen shotgun/Deliverance deck is already gone (both sizes). POOF!
The woman from the Kevin Rodrigues graphic looks very familiar and is likely from a film as well, but I can't place it. French actress, possibly? If anyone knows, let loose.

What's the Baghead graphic from? It looks super familiar but I'm not placing it.
Also, I'm over here wiggling my e-booty at No Wave Comply suggestively. This dude is coming in hot.

AA's new shotgun graphic is also from some older movie can't remember what it's called tho.
Deliverance! That's a great graphic.
Yeah, the new batch of graphics are pretty rad. Looks like the Andrew Allen shotgun/Deliverance deck is already gone (both sizes). POOF!
The woman from the Kevin Rodrigues graphic looks very familiar and is likely from a film as well, but I can't place it. French actress, possibly? If anyone knows, let loose.

BOO-yar! Cheers for this! Looks like she’s Swiss, so I was damn close.
Incognito (1997) looks fully in my wheelhouse, as I’m a major Film Noir/Neo Noir/Crime/Thriller head. It’s on Amazon Prime and Jason Patric in the lead? He was the lead in one of my favorite Neo Noirs After Dark My Sweet (1990). I’m more than sold.
