Changing of the Guard
For those of you who don't know me, I'm Chris Warner, the U.S. Hockey Report founder, publisher, editor, and writer. I started USHR in the mid-'90s and have been the voice of this publication for the better part of three decades.

Starting next season, we'll have new voices behind the Report, and new faces in the rinks. I'll continue on in an advisory role, but, as far as the day-to-day operations go, that will be taken over by new staff, once we find them.

Our tech lead, Noah S. Cutler, has been with the Report for over 20 years, and will continue to run the fastest hockey reporting service on the internet.

As far as who will step in to take over editorial duties next season, we're looking for a self-starter, someone who enjoys prep hockey, sharing insights about teams and players, and building relationships in the hockey community. Contact cwarner@ushr.com if you, or any of your colleagues, are interested in joining USHR.

Finally, more than one group has expressed interest in buying USHR. If we decide to take that path, one of the requirements will be maintaining the same quality of reporting and data (notably league/team/player stats, and RPI/JSPR).

I’ve been at this for well over a quarter of a century – the largest chunk of my working life, and the most enjoyable by far. I’ll still be here, but behind the scenes.

Good luck to all the teams participating in the playoffs this week!
