If it’s good enough for the Nova Scotia Sports Hall of Fame, it’s good enough for a commercial — in this case, a spot (via Gotham, New York) for the Speedwick brand of training apparel from Reebok Sports Licensing Division. I’m referring, of course, to the dryer in the basement of hockey star Sidney Crosby’s childhood home, where he spent many youthful hours practicing his shot on goal. Pucks that didn’t go into a net set up in the basement often dented the adjacent dryer, setting it up for hockey-legend status and (says a press release from the agency) a place in the Nova Scotia Sports Hall of Fame.
