Hockeybabble.com keeps fans on the ice

There is no professional hockey team in the area where I live, so there’s almost no news in the local newspaper about the National Hockey League, which has already iced the puck for the 2016-17 season.

So how can a fan follow their beloved Bruins, Red Wings, Oilers or Blackhawks?

Now there’s an online service called Hockey Babble that delivers news about NHL teams, whether they’re in the next state or across the Canadian border.  

The free Web app posts news from major newspapers and broadcast sites in hockey hometowns along with reports and commentary posted on blogs that follow the league and specific teams.

Users can set up a customized feed that focuses on their favorite teams or players. Users can also tag news sources as favorites to give more weight to their reports in their daily updates. And Hockey Babble also has a Trending button that shows articles regarding the most talked-about players.

Hockey fans can get the service for free by signing up at the Hockey Babble website. A native app for iOS mobile devices is slated to be released soon.
