Here’s a very cool idea the Stockton Thunder had for Friday’s game: They let kids paint all over the ice, creating what looks like a giant, frozen yearbook signature page:
A minor-league hockey team let kids paint all over the rink
The next Stockton Thunder game is going to be especially colorful.

And to answer a question we all had:
@islesfan84 Yup! The team practiced on it yesterday and everyone was able to see.
