Congrats to SB Nation and Japers’ Rink

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

Japers’ Rink was named the Top NHL Blog and SB Nation had the most entrants in the Top 10 of any blogging network.Well done and kudos! Read this article about hockey blogs and the best of the best. It didn’t take long for the bloggers to overtake traditional media in terms of quantity and sometimes quality of coverage and generation of a massive amount of wonderful pixels covering our great sport.

With the Washington Times shutting down its sports section, we have the Washington Post and the Examiner as print properties that cover our team on a game by game basis and yet, when you walk into our locker room after a game, there are dozens and dozens of people interviewing our players and our coaches.

I have to admit that I am proud that we as a franchise led the way in creating and activating and embracing the blogosphere. I am also proud to be an investor in SB Nation, a place I start my day everyday to get the latest in news and commentary on the NHL.

I agree. I really do. It isn’t a coincidence that our team success and our off ice success meshed so well with the expansion of alternative media and the blogosphere.

The winning formula and the magic sauce included all of the above. Read this article from The Huffington Post.

But I am here in Sun Valley. It’s a great place with lots of interesting people. Read this piece for a glimpse. I will write something up after the conference. I am looking forward to mingling with lots of friends and business associates.
