Favorite Nike Hockey Goalies Commercials

Tweet

Seeing that I'm still in a "funny commercials" mood, and since hockey season is in full swing, I thought I'd continue with a countdown of my favorite Nike Hockey Goalies commercials. Back in the 90's, Nike made a big push promoting their line of hockey equipment. They did this through a series of hilarious commercials centered around "former NHL goalies" who were out of the league after their weaknesses were exposed by NHL superstars such as Mats Sundin (Toronto Maple Leafs,) Sergei Fedorov (Detroit Red Wings,) and Philadelphia Flyers Jeremy Roenick and Rod Brind'Amour, all of whom wore Nike equipment. The joke was that these goalies were extremely bitter, and were reduced to working regular jobs, which they performed while still wearing their goalie gear and uniforms. I couldn't find ten of them, so I'll be counting down what is available. Nike followed these commercials up with short spots featuring goalies playing pranks on the players, including one of a goaltender spraying shaving cream into Sundin's skates. I'll leave you here with one of those. Hilarious!
