Greg Wyshynski Leaves Puck Daddy
Earlier this afternoon, Greg Wyshynski, the long-time Editor for the Yahoo hockey blog Puck Daddy, stepped down after 9 years. He wrote an opaque post on the blog explaining his exit as the pursuit of “new challenges” and characterized the letter as “really, really weird to write.”
I started reading Puck Daddy in 2010, when there were not many hockey blogs, which started during the 2004-2005 lockout. Bloggers such as Lyle Richardson and the maligned Eklund stepped up to fill a void in coverage they felt was favorable to the owners and offered no valuable source reporting.
Greg Wyshynski worked for a newspaper and AOL.com covering sports before he took over Puck Daddy, which grew to add more writers such as Sean Leahy and Harrison Mooney. Weekly features such as “Jersey Fouls” documenting fan-made jerseys (and FrankenJerseys) and “What We Learned” differed from newspapers offering traditional beat coverage of post and pre-game write-ups. Justin Bourne had a revolving blog/narrative cataloging his experiences as a minor league player, which had mixed reviews. Wysh made a regular appearance in the comment sections, breaking down a “fourth wall” that kept the morons in check, and made him an accessible figure in a sport populated with pseudo-stars like PJ Stock.
The line in the letter that raised my eyebrows was:
“I’ve always said that it didn’t matter if you loved reading us or hate-read us, as long as you found it interesting to read us. “
Puck Daddy under Wyshynski was the best and the worst of the hockey blogosphere, driving a trail both legitimate and troll-y. The editorializing of Ryan Lambert was out of control and seemingly without overview. One of the writers was canned for harassing women over Twitter. They dipped their toes in analytics and trendy social issues without fully jumping on the bandwagon.
Before Twitter grew to add every hockey journalist, Puck Daddy was a place for breaking news. After that, I think the coverage went from comprehensive to scatter-brained. Over the years, it lost steam. Writers came and went.
I can’t help but think Greg Wyshynski is headed for a subscription site like The Athletic. He would do well in a beat role for his favorite team, the New Jersey Devils. The subscription sites are taking off and drawing writers from traditional newspapers and other outlets. Fans are paying a few dollars a month to read them, and my newsfeed on Twitter has evolved to half free sites and half subscriptions sites. The model seems to have failed for ESPN insider, but if it’s all the writers? Maybe.
We wysh Greg the best.
