"Carlos-
I've been meaning to get you this email for a little while now.
I wanted to just get you a short note letting you know about how well the efforts we spent this past August on cleaning our boards has paid off.
As I have previously mentioned during pre-season, as well as during our first handful of games, we have seen a tremendous improvement in adhesion of our dasher board advertising to the white poly facing on the boards. During previous years, especially in high wear and tear areas, we had continuous problems with decals peeling off the boards. With a handful of our boards presumably having the original 12 year old poly on them, the sheen had worn off the boards, and through all of the years of impacts, cuts, etc. there were some areas that we were constantly having to change out those decals because of that lack of adhesion. The average lifespan of a single advertisement was between 3-4 games.
With the increased performance this year, after 4 home games this year between our pre-season and regular season, I was presented an opportunity by the Kings to be one of only a handful of buildings to be a part of the "Hockey Fights Cancer" NHL promotion. This involved removing all of our dasher board decals, and replacing all of them with a special "lavender" colored board for our home game on 10/25.
Seeing how the boards had performed, I agreed that we would be able to pull this off. The possible conflict being that our short time to be able to remove all of the existing decals, and install the new decals…And then vice versa, having to remove the lavender decals, and resetting our normal board advertising in a VERY tight time frame between games, due to other events booked in the building.
In short, a job that had always previously taken us 3 people at 4 hours to remove the old boards, took us 2 people at 1 hour. The installation of the new decals, smoothing everything out so the rink looked perfect, took less than 3 hours with 4 people (compared to normally taking us far more time). Of course after a single game, the new decals came off pretty quickly, and the new ones went on just as quick. So what used to take us 5 people for a full 8 hour day (48 man hours), took us 14 total man hours with a total of 4 people.
But I wanted to take the chance and express our appreciation for making the job easier for us, in both making us more cost efficient, and allowing us to focus our labor on other items. But additionally, if it wasn't for this level of improvement of performance, then we would not have been able to participate as one of the few teams out there that was able to join the league in commemorating the "Hockey Fights Cancer" promotion, because of the time constraints. I wanted to not only pass along the thanks from myself, but my staff as well have been continuously on me to get this note out to you to let you know how much they appreciate it, and of course the L.A. Kings organization greatly appreciate it as well.

"The acrylic was so clean, I thought it was a new piece we had just installed!"

 "Carlos Ramirez has a shop near the Honda Center where he details many of the players' cars. I asked him one day if he knew of a product that would clean the acrylic or glass used in hockey arenas. He said he would look into it. Within a few weeks, and after several different formulations, he brought us the Clear D Zone system. He started cleaning the acrylic and we were blown away by what we were seeing. At one point I came out into the arena to check on his progress and when he showed me a clean sheet of acrylic, I told him I thought it was a new sheet we had just installed. It wasn't - the acrylic was so clean I thought it was a new piece!
This product does everything it is supposed to do. It is simple to use, it's not messy, it takes minimal time, and it isn't very expensive.
We actually have our in-game customer service reps telling us they get compliments from our patrons about how clean our acrylic shielding is.
I highly recommend Clear D Zone for all hockey arenas."
