The Hockey News

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hockey News is a North American hockey newspaper. The Hockey News, or THN, was founded in 1947 by Ken McKenzie, and has since then been the most recognized hockey publication in North America. THN publishes weekly from September until May, and monthly during the summer off-season.

The newspaper principally covers the National Hockey League, relying on local beat writers to cover each team. Smaller sections cover minor league, junior, college and international hockey. In addition to its weekly edition, THN also produces special publications, such as its annual Yearbook and pool guide, its prospect issue and its Best of Everything in Hockey series.

Jason Kay is the current editor-in-chief and its two senior writers are Ken Campbell and Mike Brophy. Its on-line writer who also contributes to the print issue is Adam Proteau.

It is available through subscription in North America and Europe and digitally to the rest of the world. It is also available in newstands in North America.

TSN broadcaster Bob McKenzie (no relation to the founder) is a former editor-in-chief, as is TSN producer, Steve Dryden.
