NHL Centennial Truck is a hockey fan's dream (Photos)

PITTSBURGH – The NHL’s Centennial Truck is going to hit every NHL market in 2017 (including you, Vegas!), and you would be wise to check it out.

The 1,000 sq. ft., 53-foot museum on wheels is filled with interactive displays, memorabilia from the Hockey Hall of Fame and videos documenting the league’s history since 1917. We got a chance to take a tour on Friday at Heinz Field ahead of the Pittsburgh Penguins-Philadelphia Flyers Stadium Series game.

Here’s some of what we saw:

You see old videos of goalies and their gear, but to look at it up close and compare it to modern gear will make you wonder how more of them back then weren’t seriously injured on a regular basis.

Some of the content inside the truck will be customized to whatever market it’s in. This one features a bevy of Penguins photos as well as an interactive display showcasing every captain in franchise history.

One of the coolest exhibits is the touchscreen Stanley Cup. You can look up pictures of every single team’s engraving of names as well as a team photo.

No hockey history display is complete without some real old sweaters. How beautiful is that New York Americans one? That touchscreen display in the middle allows fans to see every single team logo in league history.

The evolution of skates is pretty remarkable when you compare what Punch Imlach wore to the blades Zdeno Chara puts on every night. And who doesn’t love the old California Golden Seals green and white skates? Thanks, Charlie Finley!

Sticks from that market’s team will be in this display along with those of Wayne Gretzky, Dickie Moore and Bobby Hull’s, which featured this ridiculous blade curve.

There’s also a dressing room stall display featuring two players and a blank one in-between that can be customized with your name and favorite number for a personalized photograph. All three nameplates can be customized for more than one person.

The Centennial Truck is definitely worth your time as you enjoy the Fan Arena activities when it comes to your city.

Here’s the current schedule of stops for the rest of this season:

March 2-4: Florida
March 10-11: Colorado
March 18-19: Ottawa
March 25-26: New Jersey
March 31-April 2: Carolina
April 8-9: Philadelphia
