Alan Ryder has a pretty cool site set up at Hockey Analytics. Basically it seeks to apply meaningful information to compare all players on the same level – defense, offense and netminders. The site itself is rather bland in layout but works quickly and is pretty interesting if you really want to delve into a players true contribution to their team.
Ok, so in anticipation of the “relaunch” we’ll be setting up a newsletter. Similar to Cynopsis, but for DC rec hockey. It will include special events and games at all the local rinks, any major changes in the hockey program etc. We’ll also include notes from any local coaches or team captains who are looking for players or subs. And of course, a few entertainling links in the footer to browse while slacking off at work.
Let us know if there is anything you’d like to see in the newsletter. Signup form will be added to the sidebar as the newsletter is prepared.
Ok, so when this got started, I was hoping it would be to hockey what DCRTV is to local media. Of course, work and a number of other things have gotten in the way, but now it is getting rounded out to the point where we’re just going to forge on ahead.
We already have the list of normal pickup schedules for all the local rinks. Now we’re going to be implementing some other new features:
A Rink Rat Report – including local happens at each of the rinks.
Rink in Review – Annual review of each of the local rinks. Ice condition, staff, etc.
Special Update – Any out of the ordinary happenings at the rinks.
And of course there will be other commentary about all things hockey. If you have anything to say, let me know. In the meantime, we’ll be shooting emails over to the head of all the local rinks.
Finally got some of the other sites closer to done. Once they are rounded out, this will be reloaded with more frequently updated content. Still, surprised at the residual traffic.
