Good morning RinkRats.
Just a quick update today on the-rink, an “off day” for the Blackhawks, and one week out from our official launch last week.
Upcoming RinkCast guests will include:
Justin Goldman from the Goalie Guild, Scott Powers from the Athletic, and our own Coach Bob Rose, Jr.
We are also still working on lining up Coach Jeremy Colliton of the Rockford Ice Hogs—a situation that has apparently been held up by some front office/media relations moves at the ice Hogs.
Finally, we are reaching out to some player agents as well, for some of their unique perspectives on the game at all levels, including European pro leagues.
Writers
Bill Placzek has joined the-rink.com to cover NHL prospects.
Many of you know Bill as “Wiz,” from his many years covering prospects for hockeysfuture.com, as well as draftsite.com. Bill provides annual, in-depth breakdowns on draft prospects—that often prove uncannily accurate—as well as smart, sensible mock drafts.
We are also looking to add writers in the areas of analytics, the cap, North American junior hockey and European hockey. If you’re interested, please use the contact forms here on the site, or hit Gatekeeper or myself up on Twitter.
The-Rink.com message boards
They’re coming. Please bear with us for a few weeks, as we develop the optimal approach for hockey fans to share their perspectives here. We’ll keep you updated.
What a great first week
Site traffic and RinkCast listenership has been unbelievable. We have all of you to thank. Keep checking in for new content and further site developments.
All for now
