Lorain County Day at Barons Hockey Ad – Feb. 22, 1963

For several years, the Lorain Journal had a great tradition of sponsoring an annual trip to see the Cleveland Barons Hockey team play at the Cleveland Arena. It was a nice package deal, with the price covering a reserved seat ticket to see the game, as well as round trip bus transportation.

Below is the ad which ran in the paper on Feb. 22, 1963 for the Sunday, March 3rd outing. The game against the Pittsburgh Hornets was designated as Lorain County Day.

I've written about these Journal – Barons promotions before. This post featured the 1970 excursion, with the game against the Montreal Voyagers, and this one was for the 1972 event.

Hockey has shown up on this blog quite a few times, with posts about a Barons vs Buffalo Bisons game (1949); an ad for P.O.C. Beer sponsorship of the Barons Hockey Casts (1949); a hockey stick sale at Van Wagnen's Hardware (1950); some hockey sports cartoons (1950); a vintage Toronto Maple Leafs program (1967); and how Lorain almost had a hockey arena (1968).
