  • 2’ x 3’ signs: inside each hog line, toward the sidelines of each sheet
  • 5’ x 1.5’ signs: inside the hog lines below the above ads, toward the sidelines of each sheet
  • 5’ x 1.5’ in-ice signs: behind the back lines, toward the sidelines of each sheet

Pricing for the 2022-2023 season is as follows (note: HST must be added to all quoted prices):

 

In Ice Ads (examples on the last page)

Item (HxW)	Lounge End	Mirror End	Production Cost

*In-ice ads are printed on a mesh-like fabric, put in between layers of ice. At the end of the season, the decals are

allowed to dry, then rolled up and put away for the summer. So the production cost is only for the first year, unless you decide to redesign your ad later on!
