Prohockeynews.com releases upgraded web site

RIO RANCHO, NM – Prohockeynews.com is pleased to announce the release of its latest upgrade to its home page at www.prohockeynews.com.
 
Now in its 5^th year covering professional hockey, prohockeynews.com is proud to continue its exceptional coverage of hockey on a worldwide stage.   With nearly 200 staff members throughout the world prohockeynews.com is positioned to report on player movements, team play, league activities, and international events.   Importantly, prohockeynews.com is positioned to cover the business of hockey as an industry.
 
“By writing about the business operations that go on behind the scenes fans now have the opportunity to explore what drives the front office personnel to present it’s product on the ice,” said Dave Gusky, prohockeynews.com consultant. “Having once owned a minor pro hockey team gives me a great background to assist in getting very interesting material to the readers.”
 
“We are very excited about the release of our latest web site,” said Lou Lafrado, prohockeynews.com publisher.   “With our coverage and reader traffic patterns extending into the United Kingdom and Europe, the new site gives each of these regions a significant home page presence.”
 
An affiliation agreement with Into the Boards (www.intotheboards.net) gives our readers access to a greater depth and breath of hockey information.  
 
“Our affiliation with Into the Boards allows our readers to see official news releases from teams and leagues in North America and supplements the information we provide through our staff of writers, photographers and columnists,” said Bill Sommers, prohockeynews.com director of marketing.   “Combine that access with our reach into Europe and the United Kingdom and prohockeynews.com has a near limitless access to new content.”
 
More than 20% of the traffic to the prohockeynews.com web site originates from the United Kingdom and Europe.   With the downward drift in value of the US dollar and the increase in the value of the Euro’s,

movement of players between North America and overseas leagues has grown considerably for the 2008-2009 season.  
 
“Our UK staff has stepped up over the past two seasons and jumped into the reporting of professional hockey here,” said UK editor Kevin O’Connor.   “We are working hard to deliver coverage on 100% of the UK teams through prohockeynews.com.”
 
With coverage of the “A”, “AA”, “AAA”, and the National Hockey League complementing the UK and European coverage, prohockeynews.com is uniquely positioned to bring the world of professional hockey to its readers.
 
“We are ready for the new season and cannot wait to see who wins the cups all across the hockey landscape this year,” said Brian Jennings, prohockeynews.com’s ECHL editor. “Hockey is the greatest sport in the world and we look forward to another great year in hockey. It has never been a better time to be a fan of the sport or someone who covers the sport.”
