Western College Hockey (NCAA)
This thread is going to be a continually updated, complete team-by-team listing of every hockey blog on the Internet. Bloggers will be listed by the team for which they blog the most about, and those who do not fit a particular category will go in the ‘general’ directory below.
This way, when news hits from a particular team — i.e. the Dallas Stars sign Jeff Halpern — you’ll know where to head for Stars blogs.

if you care about NCAA hockey, there's a nascent blogosphere of that, too... most of the participants can be found of the blogroll aheah:
Western College Hockey.
dagnabit, forgot the http:
ahem: Western College Hockey.
Jason has (quite unfortunately) stopped blogging but I suppose you can keep the Predator's Den on the list unless it is totally shut down. Also for the predators are:
* Predators Official Blog - Probably not the best blog but it counts.
* The Upper Bowl - Chris Utley's occasional (1-2/week) Predators game reports. There are some links to other blogs here as well.
Don't know if a blog needs to be exclusively hockey to qualify, but the Sens are my most frequent topic:
ottawasportsblog
Oh, and excellent idea, by the way.
Great idea, James! Does anyone out there know of any good OHL blogs?
The only OHL blog I know about is the Ottawa 67s blog:
http://ottawa67s.blogspot.com/
More Sabres than anything else:
www.bfloblog.com
click on the "hockey" category if that's all your interested in
I would add LetsgoKings.com to that list.
You forgot icethis.blogspot.com for the Sens, considering I once lived in Mississauga and cheered for the Sens I can sympathize with her :)
Nice list, but Hockey Rants definitely is not a Canucks blog.
(goes to bleach his hands)
CP Hockey Blog follows the Wild: hockey.commentarypage.com
-Thanks
Heh, my mistake Mr. Golbez — you've been removed as requested.
The rest of everyone's suggestions are on the list, aside from NCAA and junior hockey blogs which are going to have to wait until I redesign to accomodate them.
And then there's the NHL Blog Central at www.nhl.com/blogcentral.
It's good.
no islander blogs? well, it's ok we suck anyways.
Easy Murph... you're sucky team managed to beat my team the other day!!!
James, I think this list is a great idea. Hockey blogging is still in its infancy, and it's great to see how many people are following their teams this way.
Keep it up, and I'll keep checking the list.
does czech blog count? :) http://hokejovy.blog.cz
New Oilers blog right from Edmonton Albert which you can add:
http://oilsource.blogspot.com
Thanks
Here's my Leafs blog I started up a little while ago
http://tosportsfan.blogspot.com
Great idea you have here.
Hi I have a Rangers blog on MVN:
nyrangers.mostvaluablenetwork.com
If you could list it with the other Ranger's blogs that would be great!
Thanks
Shari
While my sports blog encompasses multiple sports, I do spend much of my quality sports blogging capital on hockey and the Dallas Stars.
You can pull The Net Files from the Thrashers list. The site isn't being updated and never had much Thrashers content anyway.
I have a Sens blog at senatorfan.blogspot.com
You're already on the list big guy.
www.cupchasers.com (Dallas Stars focus) would be honored to be #100.
James,
This is a great list and an excellent resource... I would, though, ask you to update the URL for Sabre Rattling to reflect it's new home at www.sabrerattling.com
Your updating this list makes me realize that I need to link to this directly... thanks.
Ta,
James-
You don't seriously consider Tom's blog a Canucks' blog do you? If it were, I wouldn't find many opportunities to comment (as a non-Canucks' fan), and yet I can put up some of the longest, most winded posts ever. Be fair. He covers more general hockey material than he does Canucks material.
Snafu: I don't think I'm being unfair (why would I do that anyway?) here. I just imagined the purpose of this list to be to break the blogosphere up by team. Where that can't be done, I just dumped who was left at the end.
It's not really better or worse to be in any particular category, and probably the best thing to do with Tom would be to put him in both. (I'd say half his material is Canucks related.)
Many thanks for putting FOHS on there, Cap'n.
James-
I suppose the only reason it can make a difference is if someone were to use the list to look for specifically team dialogue vs. general conversation. You are right though, that Tom does do both. Don't read too much- if anything - into my "fairness" comment. I'm just ribbing you.
I'm not a huge fan of the league head office, but I have to say that their Blog Central's pretty good. www.nhl.com/blogcentral
Could I get my blog at thehockeyhelmet.blogspot.com added to the general section?
Thanks!
Can I get my blog added at thehockeyhelmet.blogspot.com
Thanks! Its a general hockey blog by the way.
Riffing on the Leafs, Blue Jays, and all that is all from the sports zeitgeist since 2003.

Are you willing to list a blog by one of your competitors?

Cox's blog is already on the sidebar; I just haven't had a chance to add it here.
I think your readers with an interest in the game's rich history would be interested in my network of blogs:

Getting in the shameless plug for my Canes/hockey blog to be added...
http://stormbringer10.blogspot.com/
Thanks a bunch in advance! :)
Shameless plug for my Columbus Blue Jackets blog, End of the Bench.
http://endofbench.blogspot.com/
Hi James, wanted to share my blog that is online now, On Frozen Pod
Feel free to add another Canes blog if you're so inclined.
http://penaltykiller.blogspot.com
what about hockeyrefs? http://blog.hockeyrefs.com
Kings blog (brand new) at www.hartmansays.blogspot.com.
A couple of other Bruins blogs for ya...
Boston Globe Bruins Blog
Bish's Blog on the Bruins website.
I think Waiting For Stanley could go under Great Hockey Blogs.
I am dismayed by the exclusion of Hot Oil from your list, sir.
Another college hockey blog
http://www.hockey-thoughts.blogspot.com
The Hat Trick. I'm trying to incorporate your listings of blogs, although some are run by NHL teams and aren't as useful...
Check out cool images, awesome commentary, and insight into my passion for hockey here!
Kings fans appreciate LetsGoKings.com--it's the radical fan site but a little too radical at times. If you don't have it already, a calmer and more perceptive site is Online Kingdom that contains great commentary by Gann Matsuda.
Howdy, Mr.Mirtle. I have a weblog with MLive called Snapshots, and Detroit Free Press Writer Helene St. James has a Red Wings Weblog that's updated regularly.
Thank you :)
James,
My brother and I originally did the MVN Sabres site. Our new endevour is...
Lake Effect Sports.
Still mostly on the Sabres, with a little bit of Bills and Blue Jays thrown in. Good luck in the Yahoo league this season!
Don't forget the Canucks Outsider podcast and blog - entering year 2 of podcast hi-jinks.
I am also part of The Crazy Canucks podcast - a round table with JJ of the Canucks Hockey Blog, Alanah of Vancouver Canucks Op-Ed, Rebecca of Miss604 and hosted by John of the Radio Zoom podcast.
I'd like to announce the recent creation of Western Ontario Sports, a blog that focuses primarily on all levels of hockey in this part of the province. Regularly updated, this blog features links, commentary and original articles written by a professional journalist. Please check it out at westernontariosports.blogspot.com
Please disregard the above comment about my blog. I have been directed by my employer to delete the blog, and I have done so. Thanks to all who stopped in.
Habs Inside/Out is new, featuring sports writers from the Montreal Gazette.
I'd love to added under your Anaheim Ducks blogs! I write Girl with a Puck, a Ducks-centric hockey blog.
Girl with a Puck
Also, I'm part of a team of female hockey fans that collectively work on a blog called Hockey's Ladies of Greatness (HLOG). The goal is to have a team of female bloggers from every NHL team respond to a weekly topic.
HLOG
It's like a flood in here,I'll add to the deluge.Would you please add..Lightning Hockey Central..I'll buy you a doughnut and a cup of coffee if you get to Tampa some time.
Gotta echo the earlier comment about the Online Kingdom (kingshockey.com). Much more insightful and credible than letsgokings.com. You should defintely add this under LA Kings.
The Kings site does not appear to qualify as a blog.
I've got a general NHL blog over at forechecker.blogspot.com, focusing on statistical analysis. No, the numbers can't tell you everything, but there is still much to be learned...
Crikey it's about time I got around to adding this site to my links. Please check mine out, and if you feel it is worthy, add it in here under the Canadiens.
I would appreciate the nod - I been working hard!
Thanks.
I have a blog related to Buffalo Sports and have a ton of Sabres stuff on there. Check it out and let me know if you like it www.buffalosportstampede.com
You need to check out On Frozen Blog. These 4 guys out of Washington have a fabulous blog. They are mostly Washington Capitals focused but dable in the NHL and prospects as well.
Hi james,
Just wanted to add my two cents and my blog if you dont have it all ready, mynhltalk.blogspot.com. it's all hockey talk, all the time! jo Ann, aka the princess of puck
James can you add www.IslandersArmy.com under the Islander blogs listing? thx.
Got another one for you: loosepucks.com
Hey, I'm linking to you, great site you have here. Anyway, if you check out my site and consider it worthy, feel free to put me under the Montreal Canadiens tab. :D
Hi there, I dropped you a link on my blog, Of Magic Wands, Oil Rigs, and Octopi, and was wondering if I could be added to the list? I'm a Blue Jackets blogger myself, but one of my co-authors is a Sabres blogger, so I'm not sure which one we'd go under (since neither of our other co-authors ever post...I need to poke Steph about that...). Anyways, I'll leave it up to you to decide category, providing you wanna link to us! Thanks in advance!
Got a Flames blog going at http://openicehits.blogspot.com
...see you next season. ;)
1) This blog among several others are what inspired us to start our own blog. Your coverage during the nuclear winter of the NHL lockout was first rate!
2) We believe we meet the listed criteria:
a) We have been around since last August
b) have published over 200 posts in that short time
3) We're not a pay-for site, we just write for the fun/love of the game of hockey.
We're not affiliated with any NHL organization/media outlet. Thanks.
FAUXRUMORS
Hey you can add me if you like.
http://bethanym85.blogspot.com
how about me for a Predators blog? get it while it lasts...
Rangerland is a humorous look at the Rangers and the NHL. We definitely would fit under Rangers blogs, and I'm pretty sure we meet your criteria for inclusion.
James,
Here is an AHL-themed blog:
http://blog.canoe.ca/ahl
Faceoff-Factor.com is a great new site for Pittsburgh Penguins news and opinions. It also covers the team's AHL affiliate, the Wilkes/Barre Scranton Penguins. But there's more...it has "beat" writers for the 3 leagues of the CHL, the NCAA, the business side of hockey, the numbers side of hockey, and, last but not least, it boasts an amatuer draft guru with amazing insight!
Mr. Mirtle, I hope you'll link to this site!
I'm one of a bunch of Flames blogs that emerged this year. All are pretty consistent:
http://flamesblog.wordpress.com
http://therealdealhockey.blogspot.com
http://hitthepost.blogspot.com
http://doubledion.blogspot.com
http://openicehits.blogspot.com
http://completelyhammered.blogspot.com
Hey, saw that you were updating the list and was hoping you could add me to the big beautiful list :P
Cheers
http://scarlettice.blogspot.com
check out my www.hockeyamor.blogspot.com on the love of the game, garage-league hockey, the NHL and the Caps.
http://theburghsports.blogspot.com/ Brand new pittsburgh sports blog.
My blog is about Captains in hockey:
About the "C".
I think it provides a new perspective within the world of hockey blogging. It would be nice to be in that list.
http://www.poolhardy.com is my hockey pool tips, tricks and news blog. I'd be thrilled if you included me on your list. Thanks!
Hey James, as you saw in my shameless whoring during our draft, I have a blog about hockey (primarily the Rangers) ... I am in my third month of posting and am up to 94 posts at the time of this writing. By Saturday I should meet your 100 mark, lol. If you could add me, it would be appreciated.
scottyhockey.blogspot.com

www.deucebydefinition.blogspot.com is one of the better Minnesota Wild blogs out there...*shameless self-promotion*

Hey James, can you just change the link to my site so it reflects the new URL: www.pensionplanpuppets.com
Thanks.
http://www.Factorr-Factor.com
Faceoff Factor is a hockey site dedicated to the Pittsburgh Penguins organization and the world of hockey at all levels.
Thanks
Not entirely sure if my blog meets the criteria, but it's been around for a little while now: Bleed Teal, a blog primarily dedicated to the Sharks.
Back again, new URL - www.scottyhockey.com. I now have well over 200 posts, been around for six months, get over a 100 hits a day and I just signed up for that Technorati thing. Please add me!

The Goose's Roost.
Buffalo sports blog, but mainly about Sabres hockey. Posts much more often then the ones you have listed. (with expection of bfloblog)
please accept http://www.thehockeyherald.com to your blogroll.
Darn, still trying to boost that Technorati ranking via honorable (or honourable) means for my mostly Sabres-related blog. Though I do have a year's worth of hockey posts (close to 200). I'll keep at it.
Good ole...
http://www.thenhlarenaprogram.blogspot.com
Hopefully the technorati rating is getting up there.
Chris
P.S. William says hello.
The authority has finally gotten over 30....and am nearing 1000 posts...have had some pretty big time interviews of late. Hope you enjoy the site.
Chris
I think I qualify:
www.avsrant.blogspot.com

Thanks
My blog covering the Los Angeles Kings, Frozen Royalty appears to qualify now. Hope you'll add it to your list.
Would be much appreciated if you could add my blog: bostonblueline.blogspot.com (name = "Here Come the Bruins!")
This is a fantastic list -- great job!
Hey there Dr. Mirtle,
We have a regularly-updated, fat-archived Atlanta Thrashers blog at http://bluelandchronicle.blogspot.com
Hi, you are welcome to add my blog to the list. ;)

Cheers
Hi James, thanks for the opportunity.
We're called
