They had one of my favorite hockey writers, Sean McIndoe (aka Down Goes Brown)

I hope he lands at The Athletic, especially since they just launched a Toronto site.

It is depressing to go read Vice from the early days compared to what it has become.

Vice as a news site is awful, their sports page (at least the hockey stuff) was good.

I will say the long form documentaries they used to do were great. Their 2014 look at life inside of ISIS territory was great work.
