hockey forums

Here's another example of sports themes doing successfully well on the internet - it's an NHL Forums site that is currently on the verge of reaching 8 million posts. They've been around for five years, and offer all that you would expect to find from hardcore die-hard hockey fans - including history, rumors, league speak, and more. Their NHL Talk section has over 25,000 threads alone!

The real key to success in these types of forums is offering a little something for everyone, and this site has it is spades. They have boards for specific countries, minor and major leagues, other sports, and of course the inevitable "fantasy" hockey industry. Check it out if you're heart is still in the game, behind the puck, and chillin' on the ice.
