I still check /r/hockey for sports news since I feel like it's the best way to keep up on all events compared to Shitter or HFBoards. The quality of discussion and friendliness of the community had been pretty good from between 2010-2020, a really good stretch that I can't say was the same for most subreddits I used to follow. From 2020 on, there was a rapid change in tone on that subreddit as more and more angry dbags from Shitter started to frequent it more regularly and it became a not so fun place to engage with anymore.

I recently inherited /m/hockey here. I plan on being more active there in the near future by trying to create multi-topic news summary posts on a weekly basis.
