    Default Dobber/The Hockey News part ways

    The end of an era, folks

    819 online Fantasy Pool Look columns, plus two still to come, and we end at 821 online articles plus about 25 print magazine articles.

    It was quite a run, and I thank Jason Kay for the opportunity. I also appreciate the help and guidance of Ed Fraser, Adam Proteau and Rory Boylen who have been great over the years - and going way back to 2002-03 Dirk Soeterik was great as well.


    This allows me to focus more on DobberHockey and putting more of my own content right here. It looks like THN is re-jigging or removing the fantasy section altogether, and perhaps relaunching it in-house.

    I made my way to the site via a reply on keepers that you answered for me over at Hockey News.
    At the time (March 2010), I had NO IDEA there was a fantasy hockey website!
    Congrats on a good run with them!

    Exactly! Pretty much no reason to go to the hockey news website anymore.

    A big huge pat on the back for all that work, but most of all, the consistency. Will be weird not to see your articles there anymore, but on the other hand I like that we'll see more of your stuff here instead
    GO WINGS!

    Thanks for all the years Dobber
