Yet another popular hockey website has gone offline as its founders have accepted a job within the National Hockey League.

The NHL has announced the hiring of the founders of NHL.com, the league’s flagship website, as hockey information directors effective immediately. NHL.com was rendered inactive following the announcement, leaving hockey fans to collect and compile their own news, scores, standings or team and player stats as well as tangentially hockey-related puns on their own from now on.

“We are proud and thrilled to bring the creators of such a valuable hockey site into our organization,” NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said. “We’re looking at adding a wide spectrum of proprietary tools for our internal, private use, and the NHL.com experts can provide those tools for us.”
