Trade Deadline 2016....We're Back!

Yes we are finally back after taking over a year off! A lot has happened this past couple of years in regards to the site. After a successful run on blogger we decided to move to our own designed site hosted on a big name hosting site. That didn't work out as planned right from the get go. The site we had designed really limited us to what we could do due to the fact we rushed to get the new one up without much planning so that was a stumbling block from the get go. Our designer was great for us and designed everything we asked  (even if rushed) for before his new career took off leaving web design and also our site in the past. After about a year of posting on the new site we noticed our viewership was way down from when with Blogger.  Life kicked in and things got hectic so posting wasn't as frequent as the past till the new year last year and when things were on the up swing again we had extreme difficulties with our hosting site.  The difficulties turned into an all out nightmare in which we got hacked and our hosting site before contacting anyone from Ice Scoopz threatened us and then deleted our site and files leaving us without back up.  I took the following time afterwards to really ponder if I want to continue this site with other projects on the go. I've decided it wouldn't be the Trade Deadline without Ice Scoopz so here we are open for business as usual. We're going to continue on Blogger for the time being concentrating mostly on the Draft.  There will be a detailed post coming in the up coming weeks on what to expect from the new Ice Scoopz so stay tuned.

As for today on Trade Deadline expect our usual coverage, live rumors and trade notifications all day long leading up until the 3pm deadline.

Finally I just want to thank our friends and fans who have supported and stuck with us from the old site to the new I know at times with all the changes it wasn't easy.  Thanks for everything guys and girls without passionate hockey fans like you I wouldn't be doing this. Thanks to all our new fans joining us today and also here's to the future of Ice Scoopz!
