What started out as the vision of hockey writers, The Rink Live has now become a comprehensive and credible content publication for 
ALL things Hockey, including coverage of youth, high school, junior, college, and professional hockey.
 
Our family-owned media organization is striving to bring premium hockey coverage of athletes, teams, coaches and organizations to the forefront of the communities we serve and beyond. Our fans have grown from the backyard rinks of Minnesota, and now stretch coast to coast, thanks to our dedicated staff of nationally-recognized hockey writers.
 
There is one thing we all have in common: We love hockey.
 
The Rink Live website and social channels serve as your headquarters for the best hockey coverage, from pee wees to the pros.
