Wisconsin Hockey Players Division One Watch is Moving

After months of consideration, I've decided to move both Hockey in Wisconsin and Wisconsin Hockey Players Division One Watch over to Wisconsin Sports Network. You can still enjoy Wisconsin Hockey Players Division One Watch by clicking here and enjoy Hockey in Wisconsin by clicking here. Wisconsin Sports Network is continuing to expand their hockey coverage, while they have already built an incredible network to cover Wisconsin high school basketball and football. Their resources will undoubtedly bring a lot of features to Wisconsin hockey coverage that I could never have done as an independent blogger, and the best news of all is that Hockey in Wisconsin readers will get the benefits of those resources!
