Puckjunkie.com Hits the Ice!

CALGARY - A new hockey website hits the virtual ice on Tuesday, October 3rd, 2000. Puckjunkie.com (www.puckjunkie.com) is an innovative approach to the fastest sport on earth.

With the new hockey season just about to start, Fantasy Hockey GMs need more than merely stock news reports, rumours, scores, stats, and transactions. Puckjunkie.com addresses this by targeting hockey from a unique, and independent, Fantasy Hockey point of view, giving poolies that winning edge for the upcoming season.

“ We will view everything from a Fantasy Hockey perspective,” said Jeremy Mannall-Fretwell, Vice-President – Fantasy Hockey Operations. “ Rather than simply read newswire articles announcing a trade or transaction, guests will get analysis detailing the Fantasy Hockey impact. We aim to be the leading Fantasy Hockey support site on the web.”

“ Despite hundreds of different sources for hockey information, including the Web, TV, print, and radio, there still remains a significant niche left unfilled, and that's a focused and regularly updated Fantasy Hockey viewpoint. Both baseball and football are infinitely better covered in this regard," explains President Jonathan Kinney. "Puckjunkie.com will bring Fantasy Hockey to the level of Rotisserie Baseball and Fantasy Football."

Puckjunkie.com will also offer visitors an expanding array of hockey-related products and services, including a regular column on hockey card trends, related games, hockey pool rulebooks, plus the stylish Puckjunkie.com line of casual sports apparel.

Puckjunkie.com is the first business operation of Puckjunkie Inc., a privately held company headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
