ST. LOUIS – As the St. Louis Blues skate into its second half century, the Electrical Connection is again a prominent sponsor and is helping improve the hockey game experience at Scottrade Center.  The 51^st Blues season features a new high-tech 40-by-40-foot video cube scoreboard above the rink installed by members of the Electrical Connection.  The Electrical Connection is a partnership of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 1and the St. Louis Chapter, National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA).
