Worked a bit on the Blackhawks this last couple weeks. I need to do a bit more touch up and then add the logos to get an authentic look.
Comment on what team I should do next!
Better pictures to come soon.

Picked Up a Team of Players
Yesterday I picked up a set of Gamecraft players and puck catcher from Rod Hockey Shop
Great guys and service. They have all kinds of replacement parts and players for Gamecraft and Sportscraft tables.
Check them out!
Hockey Night In Canada
Today I found battery powered LED lights that are able to self adhere to the bottom on the scoreboard.
I also added home and away labels to the front of the board, as well as a “jumbotron”
MTS Centre Scoreboard Graphics
I just today used gimp to “photoshop” the graphics to the scale of my scoreboard. Quite easy learning curve on this program.
Thanks to http://canuckfanatic92.tumblr.com for most of the graphics.
I am still going to be adding a home/away and time labels to the front part as well as another action picture.
Check back soon!
A Couple More Pictures to Close Out the Night
Scoreboard Is Up & Running
I have attached the scoreboard to the PVC pipe that I attached to the sides of the table. I used 1.25 inch diameter pipe and 90° elbows for the corners. To attatch the pipes to the table I used 2 bolts. To strap the scoreboard to the pipe I used 2 1.25 inch pipe brackets. I placed underneath those a half inch bolt spacer so that I can have access to the control panel on the top of the board.
Looking forward to using this at my fantasy football draft coming up in August!
Scoreboard Progress
Finished the box for the scoreboard.
I super glued the boards together using a hot glue gun.
I’m still going to be adding some graphics to it to make it look more realistic.
Boards
Finished the boards. I used electrical tape for the red and yellow parts. It worked out well although there are
parts I would like to fix.
Moving on to building the casing for the scoreboard.
Board Ads & Glass
I have finished the ads on the boards for the table. I used Gimp to edit the logos and printed them using a laser printer. I then glued them on with a spray glue from Walmart. You can find this spray at any hardware or craft store.
I then used red electrical tape for the top trim on the boards and covered all the wood with it that was showing from when I shortened the boards. It looks fantastic. I still need to find some thin yellow electrical tape I can use for the bottom.
I added the glass for now to just see how it will look.
