Puck Drop to Print: Elevating a Hockey Club's Game Plan with Custom Vinyl

When it comes to strategizing for game day, every hockey coach knows the importance of a clear and dynamic visual aid. That’s where we, a custom vinyl print company, slid into the scene and helped a hockey club up their game. We had the unique opportunity to create custom printed vinyl featuring a hockey rink design, revolutionizing the way coaches planned their game strategies.

Project Description

Innovating Strategy Sessions

This project involved a design usually printed on a dry erase vinyl, which is great for writing on and then wiping clean. However, the client came up with an inventive use for it. They chose our adhesive option that sticks to windows, and they applied the vinyl to the inside of their hockey rink’s glass walls. This option can be selected on our window graphic products with the print on adhesive side option.

This allowed coaches to step onto the ice and write directly on the glass using dry erase markers, instead of writing on the vinyl. Dry erase markers can be wiped off from surfaces like glass easily. In the past, coaches typically used standard whiteboards or paper diagrams to show plays and positions. But this time, Pro Performance Hockey developed something truly unique and durable.

Our Project Solutions

We strive to offer solutions for all types of projects, from budget-friendly options to high-quality premium vinyl. When processing your order, we’re careful to learn more about your project to ensure the materials you choose are the perfect fit for your needs.

With our custom dry erase vinyl you can upload your own designs to tailor it to your league needs. Learn more below as we discuss the materials and solutions used for this project.

The Removable Adhesive Vinyl Advantage

This project used our premium permanent easy air adhesive vinyl and was a game-changer. This material can be applied to practically any surface—lockers, walls, or even glass.

The material (Permanent Premium Easy AIR) used for this project isn’t repositionable, but we do offer removable and repositionable adhesives if that is your need. With a repositionable, you can even take your game planning from the locker room right to the benches whenever needed.

Air-Egress Vinyl: For the Smoothest Application

One of the challenges with large vinyl prints is the dreaded air bubble which can turn a sleek graphic into a frustrating mess. With the use of air-egress vinyl, we eliminated this issue. Its special microchannels allowed air to escape during application, enabling a smooth, frustration-free installation. Even coaches who weren’t particularly crafty found themselves applying their new boards with ease.

Empowering Self-Installation

In a fast-paced world, timing is everything, especially in sports. Our custom-printed dry erase boards were designed with self-installation in mind. Coaches and league staff didn’t need to wait for professional help or invest extra hours into setup. With a few simple steps, they transformed their spaces into strategy hubs all by themselves, giving them more time to focus on what truly matters—the game and their players.

Beyond the Game Strategy

The benefits extended beyond strategic planning:

  • Customization: Each board could be tailored to reflect the team’s spirit, with logos and colors proudly displayed alongside the rink.
  • Durability: Designed to withstand enthusiastic playmaking, our vinyl refused to crumble under pressure.
  • Multi-purpose Use: When not mapping out the next big win, the boards served as motivational spaces, where coaches could rally their teams with messages that stuck—quite literally!

To Wrap it All Up

Our adventure with the hockey league proved that with the right materials and a touch of customization, any idea can skate its way into reality. The result was a lineup of vibrant, hassle-free, and completely custom strategy boards that empowered coaches to visualize victories and execute them with their teams.

For us, it was a chance to showcase the versatility and user-friendliness of our custom vinyl products. For the hockey league, it was scoring a winning goal in the coaching playbook. Whether on the ice or brainstorming behind the scenes, the right tools make all the difference—and we’re here to deliver those tools with precision, quality, and a personal touch.
