On Friday morning everyone who runs or writes for SB Nation hockey sites learned, along with many salaried staff in the Vox empire, that Vox is making significant layoffs to full-time staff and withdrawing “support” from tons of contributors, and all but six hockey sites will “no longer be supported and monetized by Vox Media.” They’ve axed full-time people at their non-sports “verticals” and they’ve removed the monthly stipend from tons who keep these sports sites alive.
However, Lighthouse Hockey — at least the written part of our site covering the New York Islanders — is one of the six that will “continue to be supported” according to an Important Information from SB Nation email I received.
