Hockey season has returned, and so has Chocolate Hockey. We are back for our ninth season covering the Hershey Bears with a new goal in mind.

As some of you may have noticed, we went on a hiatus in late February after the conclusion of the Olympic games. I quickly discovered back in January it was practically impossible to juggle a full college schedule and running a hockey news website at the same time. I decided to take a step back from the site and focus entirely on my education through early May. I addressed all of that in a video after my last final in May if you have not seen that.

Hockey season is upon us once again and Chocolate Hockey is back for its eighth season. This season our goal is to bring you both the best coverage and best original content of the Hershey Bears from any outlet either on air, online or in print, and we won’t stop until we accomplish that goal. With that in mind, there are a few things I feel like we need to address before the home opener on Saturday night.
