Hockey Community For Philadelphia Flyers Fans Seeks Fan Reporters



Flyers fans have a place to rant and offer their own unique brand of sports reporting: citizen journalism. The community for Philadelphia Flyers fans (philadelphia.allstarhockeyfans.com) will allow fans to connect, share blogs about the team and even post events for get-togethers.

Launched this past summer, an online social networking/blogging community for Flyers fans gives everyone the opportunity to be a sports reporter. Taking a cue from sports radio, the parent site, Allstarhockeyfans (www.allstarhockeyfans.com) has created a place for anyone to write recaps of the team s games, offer analysis and critique. According to Marc Lefton, the site s founder and a rabid hockey fan, sports reporting need not be a monopoly of major newspapers. There are so many stories in this game. There s a game within the game that doesn t get recapped in the paper. And hockey, except in some major cities, just does not get the depth of analysis that other sports get in the newspaper.

So who better to solve the problem than the very fans who love, live and breath the sport We re confident fans will offer insightful commentary. Futhermore, the ability of other fans to comment and create a living document allows everyone to share their opinion in an open environment. Over 400 fans already grace the pages of AllStarHockeyFans.com. The site is based on a powerful blogworking platform that combines the best parts of social networking and blogging into a potent, addictive combination. This formula has already seen success in mainstream niche sites such as the Always-On Network (www.alwayson-network.com).

AllStarHockeyFans is a subsidiary of Half Fiction, LLC, (www.halffiction.com) a company which owns, develops and manages niche blogworking communities.
