A few weeks ago, we put the call out to our Facebook fans to help us with some new banner art. And boy did you guys respond. Because of the dimensions and resolution requirements, I can’t use all of these, but I thought it would be criminal not to at least post them here for all to see. The ones that we choose will be phased in over the coming weeks.

And as promised, we randomly selected one person to win some backyard-hockey.com schwag. Congratulations to Chris Mader, winner of a backyard-hockey.com hat and bumper sticker. We’ll be in touch for your address.

Enjoy these great shots, and thanks for all of your submissions! What an awesome community we have.
