Hooked on Hockey Magazine is not just another online hockey magazine; we are a culture of passionate hockey writers, fans as well as friends, players and coaches providing perspectives outside of the ordinary hockey topics. Our readership and audience continues to grow on a monthly basis both site-wide and across all our social network pages. HOHM is “Your Daily Dose For All Things Hockey!”

Here are some testimonials from writers who have worked with us in the past:

“During my last year at Boston College, I covered the Buffalo Sabres and wrote for a hockey website (Hooked on Hockey Magazine). This was perfect because with a GameCenter subscription and a computer, it was something that I could easily do whether I was in my dorm or on the road with the tennis team. It gave me the opportunity to interview many players, improve my writing skills, and cover my favorite hockey team in the process.” – Olga Khmylev, Covered 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics with NBC along with other IIHF tournaments and current Academy of Hockey Program Manager at HarborCenter in Buffalo, NY

“The day Hooked on Hockey emailed me and said they wanted me to join their team was a turning point in my journalism career. It meant that people were reading the stuff I was writing on my personal blog. Almost three years later, I am very happy with my decision to join the team. The site has given me a platform to write about hockey and build my portfolio for the future. The team of writers is very supportive and provides great motivation. I’ve seen it grow from the original six in 2011 all the way up to the close to 40 we have now. It is amazing to see all the changes and growth the site has experienced these past three years, which bodes well for the future too. Anyone looking to start their journalism career should give Hooked on Hockey a look.” – Josh Beneteau, Sports Editor at The Eyeopener

“I started writing for Hooked On Hockey for my 4th year University journalism internship. The internship was great not only because of the really friendly staff who welcomed me right away, but also because of the experience it gave me in the world of sports journalism. My articles were given exposure to a huge online hockey market, one I wouldn’t have been able to tap into on my own. That in turn made my writing better, as I was writing for the public and not just my professors. Now because of HOHM, I have invaluable, professional experience I can use when entering the workforce, a portfolio of my work, and a place to continue sharing my articles with a large number people who share my love of hockey.” – Rebecca Gilchrist, HOHM’s Toronto Maple Leafs Writer
