Exactly a year ago to the day, F Block Blog kicked off with this first article about the dismantling of the Excel Hull Stingrays 07/08 squad.365 days, 9000 hits later, the blog is going better than ever, with over 800 hits a month. Unfortunately the Stingrays remain in an all too familiar position after failing to make the playoffs for the third consecutive season in the EIHL. But that position does have a silver lining with league stability, or as close as possible, sealed for another year and with new player-coach Sylvain Cloutier in the infancy of his tenure in an exciting new era for the club.
This blog was initially conceived to give me a greater experience of writing and in the year since I believe that target has been achieved. But it has since developed into a platform for all the latest Excel Hull Stingrays news and its popularity continues to grow.
So thank you, the reader, for making it more popular than I ever expected. Hopefully it, as well as the Stingrays, will continue for the foreseeable future.
