It has been a while since I posted and that is because I have been working tirelessly with a team to create Buckets and Blades Hockey. We plan to launch the website in October coinciding with the beginning of the NHL season, but we need your help to make it happen. You can contribute to our Fund Anything campaign and help make this website a reality sooner than later. We have already been working hard getting the layout design ready and creating a backlog of articles as well as so much more.

With your help I hope to create a website that is a one stop shop for hockey news and opinion no matter if the readers are new to the game or have grown up with it. I want to create a spot on the internet for the newbie, the fan, the player, the coach and the parent trying to get their child involved in the game. The website will provide hockey news, opinion, highlights, standings and analysis for hockey leagues around the world, training tips for players, a directory to charities in the hockey community and a directory for hockey schools, an aggregator for articles for other top hockey websites because many of their writers have helped me learn the ropes and produce great articles, have an interactive quiz game similar to Rosetta Stone’s language learning program to teach both beginners and veterans the history, stats, and rules (including referee calls) of the game and we will also feature a clothing line for men and women who play the game or just love it and I want to show their love of the game.
Your generous support will help fund:
- Graphic design
- Web development
- Web hosting
- Merchandising startup
- Advertising
Below is a peek at the layout mockups done by graphic designer Jessa Getzendanner showing what the website is likely to look like.
