found 2 for sale a while back I think the guy still has them, under 1000 for the pair, thinking about grabbing them.
I was told once that the 3 STAR SELECTION a the end of the NHL game came about because imperial oil was the sponser of the NHL way back when. does anybody no if this is true or false

You are right that is why they pick the three stars on hockey night in canada

Sorry , too rough for me,,, at any price..
Yes it’s true! First was in 1936 and last was 1949 , in signage for 3 star.
Esso still sponsored NHL but no new signage apparently

Thanks for the post and info. Never knew the Esso- NHL connection.I have been playing hockey since I was a mite. Grew up watching Hockey Night in Canada
If anybody ever sells one of those signs in my price range, I will be all over it. Two hobbies with a connection!!
GO WINGS!!!
