New TD Station centre ice look unveiled

Sea Dogs social media

Centre ice at TD Station will have a different look this season.

In a photo shared on social media Monday, centre ice will feature the Saint John Sea Dogs' logo circled by a blue ring with "Saint John Sea Dogs" at the top and "City of Champions" at the bottom.

It's the first time the Sea Dogs have added a ring like this. Other than using anniversary logos (5th, 10th and 15th), the team has made very few changes to its centre ice design since the inaugural 2005-06 season.

The Sea Dogs began using the "City of Champions" slogan last season.

Via TheFaceoff.net, here's what Saint John's usual centre ice design looks like.

Teams have been getting more creative with their centre ice looks in recent years, especially since the Vegas Golden Knights joined the NHL. The Charlottetown Islanders will have a similar ring this season while the Brandon Wheat Kings have one of my personal favourites.

After playing all of their pre-season "home" games at Fredericton's Aitken Centre, the Sea Dogs return to TD Station ice for their regular season opener on Sept. 24.
