If you check the NHL-EF page regularly, you will have noticed a lack of new articles in general. Truth be told, there is a real good explanation for this. The NHL-EF is expanding and taking on a whole new attitude towards sports journalism! Also, working full-time in the summer, playing soccer, and drinking large amounts of alcohol also contributed to the lack of articles, but we like the first excuse better. Therefore, you can expect a new look, new articles, new media, and new contributors to the NHL-EF world. This post is merely to prepare you, the reader, what you can expect in the weeks to come. So in typical list format, here is what you can look forward to from your favorite source for hockey related articles.
- The NHL-EF will be taking a more serious attitude towards the articles that are produced. Subjects such as; was the Marian Gaborik signing a good signing? And; why the heck is Alex Tanguay still available? Now you may say, “But hey!! I love reading the funny articles about Pierre McGuire, potential Habs owners, and the funny names of the NHL; I want to keep reading stuff like that!!” Not to worry you immature readers, the NHL-EF will continue to produce funny articles, but now you can expect the same amount of funny articles along with numerous, slightly more serious articles. This just means more new articles for your reading pleasure.
- We are going to be taking on a new look. None of us are sure what this new look will be or how to do it, but we agree that in recreating the NHLEF, we must have some kind of new look. Maybe a fancy logo is in the works? Maybe some kind of slogan will be created? You’ll just have to wait and find out for yourself.
- We are expanding our staff. You may have noticed a classified ad posted on the NHL-EF site recently for new contributors. Not many people applied, which is kind of a let down, but it’s there. We already have one new contributor lined up and ready to go, making our staff from a measly 2 dudes to an impressive 3 musketeers. All of whom don’t really agree on what teams and/or players are good and/or bad. We are still looking for an office space however, so if anyone knows of any wicked office going for about $0 per month, let us know ASAP.
- New types of articles. Now, we at the NHL-EF have realized that reading large blocks of text can get tiring, annoying, and create confusion between schoolwork and leisure, so we are going to implement new types of articles that incorporate different types of media. We have been toying with ideas about articles that include photo, video, and audio, which we steal from the web and post here. Personally, I would love to see the wives of NHLers article with photos and I am sure many others would as well. Also, you never know, we might not steal media from the web, we might make our very own little video or photo shoot to post. That might sound a little weird and sketchy, but who cares.
So those are the changes you can expect to see upcoming for the insanely awesome blog that is the NHLEF. If you guys out there have any ideas for us to implement, we want to hear them, then reject them, and laugh at your face. With these new improvements we at the NHLEF hope to become the next big thing in NHL journalism and rival the Hockey News itself and maybe one of us can replace Pierre McGuire on the NHL on TSN panel. Just putting that out there. NHLEF OUT!
