Hey everyone, so since I know that a lot of people don't want to subscribe to Vibes Based Hockey since it's on Substack, we now have two alternative ways to read our articles and even get a paid subscription! We're on Patreon and Tumblr+ now, and I'll make a link thread for them.
So, if you want to keep up with news on hockey culture, women's hockey, and men's hockey, you now have alternative paths that don't require supporting Substack!
New Vibes Based Hockey article! In this one, I discuss the closing of the PHF from a queer perspective. I go into the effect this has had on fans, myself, and even how it affects queer (especially trans) athletes.

I doubt it’s news to anyone at this point, but the PHF got bought out by the PWHPA, and it looks as if they’re rebranding to the PWHPL. Many an article has been written about this, and I will do so again, but from a different angle. One angle I see repeatedly missed or, at best, hastily mentioned, is the queer angle of all this. I’ve briefly touched on it in previous articles, and I did write a little about it in my news roundup a few weeks back when I covered the PWHPL’s owner’s comments on the Boston Pride. Today, though, I really want to focus in on how this affects the queer community. No more spreading my thoughts apart several different articles. I’m bringing all of them here, into one article.
