It's the end of the blog as we know it Introducing From The Rink

I'll certainly miss this place.

After almost four years and 3,967 posts, this site is joining SB Nation and will be relocated to fromtherink.com for the foreseeable future. I'm taking on the title of manager of NHL blogs, with the goal of building up the site's small offering of hockey sites into a community of 30+ bloggers producing quality content for every team.

So if you love blogging on the Florida Panthers, drop me a line.

Moving was a very difficult decision, but I honestly believe that SB Nation is going to be a big, big deal when it comes to hockey blogging and I'm ready for the challenge of helping it get there. There are some very smart, talented and motivated people at the helm of the company like Jim Bankoff and Tyler Bleszinski who want to see this take off.

Plus I get a snazzy logo.

Most of all what I want to do in this space is offer a huge thank you to all of the bloggers and commenters who embraced this site and helped it grow into what it is today. It's been fun — and I sincerely hope everyone keeps coming out to the new site.

Even if there are dancing monkey ads on it.
