Who’s Your Puck Daddy?

from James Mirtle,

In any event, in mid-April, Greg went from being “Greg, the only hockey writer I know from Jersey,” to Puck Daddy, Yahoo!’s resident NHL blogger and the first-ever full-time hockey blogger hired by a media organization.

At least that’s what I called him when I gave him a ring....

[JM] One of the things I asked him was how Puck Daddy would fit into the hockey blogosphere, and what his strategy was with the site. He is, after all, in uncharted territory.

“I think in hockey, there’s an incredible amount of amazing blogs out there, but at the same time, how many of them are updated 10 times a day? Or even five or six times a day like you have?

“There’s a niche to be filled in that instance. As talented and deep as the hockey blogosphere is, there is room for Yahoo! to do this thing in a real rapid-delivery sort of way and really stand out doing it.”

[JM] As far as the full-time part of the gig, I pointed out that Paul Kukla, a popular hockey blogger who has gone full time on his own and brought writers into the fold, has provided a bit of a model.

“I’m a little bit more in awe of him than I was a month ago,” Wyshynski said. “I feel like I’m going to have a heart-attack trying to keep this thing running. And that’s just from 8 a.m. until 7 p.m. and Paul updates at, you know, two in the morning and shit like that. It’s a little amazing that he can keep the thing humming like he does.

much more on PD…

Thanks for the kind word Greg and as I have always said when people ask me about doing something like this on a full-time basis- The more you work the more you have to work!  Get sleep whenever you can and think hockey 24/7, no breaks, no life and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
