Whether you read Second City Hockey from its inception in 2007 or hopped on board during the misery that’s been the 2022-23 version of this team, we’re glad you’re here.
What you can expect from this space is essentially the same kind of content that we provided in our old one, just with a new look – including some new logos that will pop up here and across various platforms that have had our faces aglow every time we’ve looked at them.
There’s more coming, too. Once we decided that we weren’t going to let Vox’s decision be the end of our internet existence, our primary goal was to get this place up and running. And here it is. This space is going to give us more agility than we’ve had in the past, which we’re excited about. But this space did not come with the photo licenses we’ve used in the past, which we’re less excited about. Solutions to that problem and a slew of other logistics are in the works and we appreciate your patience as we sort them all out because, to be honest: we’re collectively flying by the seat of our pants here. The excitement and the terror of what we’re embarking upon here are in never-ending battle for our attention.
It’ll take some time, but eventually the URL for this space will revert back to the ol’ www.secondcityhockey.com that we’ve all known and loved for a decade-plus. That’s another thing that will take some time, though. Hoping it’s a matter of a week – or two at the most – but the fine folks at Ghost are handling the migrations of several other former SB Nation NHL sites as well as our own, which will include the eventual transfer of our archives from there to here. So, patience will be required because that’s thousands of articles per site.
For the short-term, the steady steam of morning bag skates, game previews, morning skate updates, game threads and game recaps will flow for the final few weeks of the regular season, along with any other news that develops. Then we’ll be catching our collective breath and start laying out some more details on our future plans.
We can cross that bridge at a later time, though. Right now, just know that we’re here, we’re glad you’re here, and we can’t wait to see where this all goes next.
(Hopefully, to the top of the 2023 NHL Draft)
Cheers!
