Hockey

[slappyjoes]

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.

Your not alone

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.

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.

[ziggy]

pandering to Canadians obviously

[Mr. Kamikazi]

Have a Hockey board now. Superb.

[SneakySecrets]

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.

[SneakySecrets]

^ 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.

[Escape Hell]

Hockey is sick. Team is good. Shapes are good. Always thought AVE would fit better on that team tho.

[thespacewolf]

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.

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.

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

[PatrickSkateman]

That Hockey shirt with the masked kid peeing on the FA logo is brilliant.

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 hope to see more Horror and Italo Horror art from them in the future, but it's a fine line; you don't want to veer off into cartoonish gimmick territory. 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.

I didn't know about Hockey until this thread, and the brand origin story sounds kind of cool.

They honestly probably have the best graphics in skateboarding. (currently)

Hockey is cool and Benny Maglinao is a special talent. He made a Levis advertisement seem magical.

-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.

The fuck is wrong with you man?
