theminister Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 According to reddit, HF will be shut down for good starting next month. Unfortunately for the world the HF Forums may continue to exist. https://www.reddit.com/r/hockey/comments/4n2u7s/hockeys_future_will_be_shut_down_on_july_1st_2016/? Quote Earlier today it was revealed that Evolve Media (the parent company that owns Crave Online, which runs Hockey's Future) will flip the switch on Hockey's Future and on July 1st 2016 and the site will cease to exist.

Master Mind Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 2106 eh? Still better than never. Edit: thought it was the other way around at first. Too bad the site's going down, should be kept over the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I never go to other forums, so I don't care if the forum still exists. But not having the site itself? Sad panda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there are a number of people who use it in the fantasy community, so it fits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Vanderhoek Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 how will I pretend to know as much as all the other people here now ? I'd like to refer to someone's work when I am regurgitating stuff that I do not know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raymond Luxury Yacht Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 RIP Hockey's Future. What a terrible year for deaths. First Muhammad Ali...now Hockey's Future. Not to mention Bowie, Prince, Nick Menza, Kimbo Slice and Rick MacLeish...and so many more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intoewsables Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 It wouldn't make much sense for Crave to acquire one of the largest sports forums on the web just to shut it down. Hockey's Future, on the other hand, is complete crap and I'm surprised it managed to last as long as it has. Prospect ratings were ridiculously inconsistent from team to team, and the articles made it pretty clear that none of the people writing actually watched any of the players they were writing about. Glad the boards are staying up though. It's kinda like CDC in that as long as you avoid the "main boards", there's decent discussion to be had.

-Vintage Canuck- Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I wonder if the HFBoards were to shut down at some point, how much increase in traffic would there be on CDC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not chirping, just curious to how you got it so quickly considering you have only been here about a year and a half and have only 1500 posts.

Dion Phaneuf Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 The numbered and lettered potentials never made much sense for most players. Too vague. The site does provide a decent summary of a player although at times outdated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
