Hey, everyone. You’ve probably heard most of this by now, but figured we should put it up here just to be sure.
Today, Vox Media laid off about seven percent of its workforce, and in the process shuttered a number of its team sites here at SBNation. We learned this morning that among those shuttered were going to be most of the NHL sites, and ours here at Broad Street Hockey is one of them. We will no longer be receiving funding for our site as of the end of February.
First and foremost: Steph Driver, who in addition to being in charge of this site here oversaw all of SBN’s NHL coverage, was among that seven percent of people laid off from their roles at Vox, and she is no longer with the site here at BSH.
