Becsta.COM takes on another Web Site
Yesterday, I took ownership of the most popular website covering the Australian ice hockey scene, HockeyPulse. I’m absolutely thrilled and excited to take ownership, and hope that I can expand on the fantastic work to date by Rowan.
This site had been running for a number of years, and gaining in popularity because it was the only site catering to the rather close knit ice hockey community. The previous owner (Rowan) decided to sell Hockey Pulse, because he couldn’t maintain the site due to other work and life commitments. As time slowly marched on, it became apparent that HockeyPulse wasn’t going to be sold in time, and thus, I decided to step up.
For me, it’s a commitment for the long haul, as it’s both a financial investment, and a hobby – it’s my opportunity to interact with the ice hockey fraternity more. Because Ice Hockey in Australia is so small (and so unknown), the more information we can put out there, the more popular the sport will become. Popularity, branding, sponsorship, exposure to the greater population, and I think ice hockey will expand in Australia
It’s a big step for me, as I never thought I’d be investing money into a website, but the opportunity to do so couldn’t be passed up. One big benefit to me will be the branding aspects – I have a ready-made logo for branding my ice hockey photos.
Where do I plan to be in a few years time? I’d love to provide some quality sponsorship to state and national teams.
