I wonder if they'll have more adds in the other corners or if its a pilot project.

Starting this season, all four corners can be sold: https://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/...inventory.aspx

I'd be surprised if someone else hasn't signed-on for the other two corners before the start of the season.

Hitmen training camp starts on Friday if anyone was wondering why they put the ice in so early.

If you're willing to try something new, this is a great time to get into e-sports. There's two major tournaments going on at the moment.

Dota 2: The International is in the quarterfinals right now, with the finals on the weekend.
League of Legends: The North American Championship League playoffs start this weekend with the quarterfinals.

Yeah those are fun. As long as they have casters that explain things as they go along in order to leave new watchers with at least a small idea of what's going on.

If you want to watch some good shooting, check out twitch.tv and watch some Player Unknown's Battlegrounds or Counterstrike. Avoid Fortnite at all costs.

Nice to see. I find this time of year being such a difficult transition conundrum.

I am simply dying for hockey. So, though I am starting to count the days/hours for camp and finally some flames/nhl talk, i am at the same time try to hold onto every single ladt second of the summer.

I am so frigin excited for the season, i just wish i didn't have to deal with all the ever hopeful (and this year, with legitimate reason) leaf fans all around here in Toronto.

For a lawyer? A car? An accountant? That is really bad thinking.

Ads also re-enforce brand loyalty you already have.

People like to feel good about their purchases (or decisions) and when they see their choices displayed in a pleasing fashion in a venue they're comfortable with it strengthens that bond.

Edit - That being said, yeah I wouldn't choose my lawyer based on an ad I saw

Meh - when I see Bennett Jones' ad I just think it's an increase to a lawyer's hourly rate. And if I'm their client it doesn't make me feel better about losing that court case, either
