NHL teams are starting to develop "Ice Girls". Instead over overweight, hairy guys stumbling across the ice to pick up random crap thrown down by the fans, it's now young, beautiful girls skating around in next to nothing.
How long has this been going on in hockey?
Apparently since 2005, starting with the New York Islanders.
Now as a man I will not object to such a change, but it seems that some of these crews...are well, subpar, for lack of a better term.
First, the Chicago Blackhawks Ice Crew.
At first glance, you might say to yourself, "Now that's what I'm talking about..."
But upon closer inspection of the Blackhawk's Ice Crew, tell me which of these girls is either, a)attractive, b) not ridiculously made up (make up, fake baked, etc.), or c) looks like they weren't straight out of a "Girls Gone Wild" video. The answer, to me, is none. Sheesh.
Okay, that's just one team's lot of ladies. Big deal. Except that the Chicago Blackhawk's Ice Crew girls were voted the "hottest" crew in the NHL! Huh???
How can that be, I ask myself. Well look no further than Vancouver's submission into the competition:
Ummm...there are four dudes in this picture. Ummm and only four girls. I think someone in the marketing department up there kind of missed the boat on this one. A physical sport that men love...yes, let's put some men on the ice team. That'll be a big draw.
And why the hell is Smirnoff sponsering them?
Anyway, if you look at some of the other crews around the league, you see that none of them have particularly attractive women...again, in my opinion.
Now I'm sure nobody is going to buy a ticket to an NHL game just to watch the Ice Girls "perform", but I'm just saying, if you're going to have something like that, might as well do it right.
Andddd once again I'm probably going to go to hell for being a shallow pig.

The CBJs had this at the game we went to last year. It was the "Mt Dew Ice Crew" or something like that. I think it's their attempt to make it more "exciting" and to give them one more item to sponsor.
I think they are the "SMIRNOFF ICE crew" and not the "SMIRNOFF ice crew". It's pretty funny how not attractive they are, though.
I mean, they're okay...I certainly am not one to talk, but if you get paid to look good...well you better look good!
I vote for either Nashville or Dallas.
But I bet they all look hot if you're sitting 50 yards away with 5 beers in you....which I think describes the hockey fan that would care about the ice crew at all anyway.
