Guess Who’s Back, Back Again
Welcome back to THE DROP PASS, your week in review of everything Offside News Co. Every edition will recap hockey news, from our team-focused columns to podcasts and everything in between.
Whether you’re new here or have been an avid reader of ours for awhile, welcome and thank you for all your support! As a reminder, Offside is a queer-run digital culture magazine that discusses all levels of hockey, from the serious to the deeply unserious. We’re made up of a volunteer staff of over 50 hockey fans from diverse backgrounds, all dedicated to growing the game. From personal op-eds to explainer pieces, silly listicles to team columns, we aim to grow the sports journalism landscape by covering the game we love.
