The NHL will kick off its yearlong celebration of its 100th anniversary on New Year’s Day. A key part of that launch will be a hockey-themed float in the Rose Parade.
The league and the Kings released a rendering of the float on Friday.
Titled “A Century of Greatness (1917-2017),” the float will feature a 55-foot-long hockey rink underneath an oversized version of the NHL Centennial logo with a base decorated with the logos of all 30 teams.
“The NHL centennial float in the 2017 Rose Parade sits at the center of an exciting 48 hours of New Year’s celebrations,” said Brian Jennings, NHL executive vice president and chief brand officer.
