2017 Honda Ridgeline for NHL All-Star Game
Honda and the National Hockey League announced that
the automaker will serve as the title sponsor for this year's NHL All-Star
Game, held in Los Angeles.
The announcement was made at the 2016 LA Auto Show
where NHL Icon Wayne Gretzky was on hand to help unveil a custom-wrapped 2017
Honda Ridgeline, which will be presented to the most valuable player of the
All-Star game on Sunday, January 29th at the Staples Center.
The custom-wrapped 2017 Ridgeline will be showcased
at the LA Auto Show until November 27th, giving visitors plenty of time to take
a photo with the truck at the Honda booth. The automaker will also serve as a sponsor to one of
the skills competitions, namely the Honda NHL Breakaway Challenge, where some
of the biggest names in Hockey will showcase their skills in front of goal.
Honda is currently celebrating nine years as the
Official Vehicle of the NHL, and will continue to support the league throughout
the 2016-2017 season. Aside from the all-new 2017 Ridgeline, models such as the
Pilot SUV and the CR-V crossover will be featured at future NHL-related events,
including the Draft, Stanley Cup Playoffs and Stanley Cup Final.
