Who knew that it just took illfitting Canadian Tire shoulder pads to show the kids on the lake, and his older brother, how to be a pro.
Even as a kid I wondered was this kid’s name Albert Albert? Or foreshadowing the first pro hockey player with his first name last, like Pele or Ronaldo?
I don’t think there has ever been an NHL player with the first name Albert. al maybe, but not Albert.

That Albert commercial was so brilliantly done and resonated with little brothers and sub par hockey players every where.
Sure you buy this Canadian Tire gear and you'll be a great player.
I remember every year or two, in August the old man and me would pile into the car and go to Canadian Tire to get me new gear. We would have these amazing arguments.
"These skates are perfectly good, why do I need to pay $100.00 bucks for fricken skates"
"You don't need those $12.00 sticks, when we can get a bundle of these Eastons for $5.00 bucks each, its not like you're going to be scoring a lot of goals from the penalty box."
Looking at those shoulder pads in that ad compared to what kids wear now is amazing though.

No mention of one of the best inspirational commercials in recent memory?
As for the Gillette commercial, the message is fine but I’m not a huge fan of the source. What’s next, a Walmart commercial promoting employees getting paid a living wage?
For 7% of their advertising budget, Nike could pay their foreign workers a comfortable living wage, instead of the soul crushing poverty they live in instead. They value moral posturing far more than any actual sense of morality.
