About Seltytending
Mission
Seltytending is focused on serving the hockey community and giving back through meaningful, insightful content and outreach efforts. Seltytending produces quality sports journalism in the form of articles, podcasts, and The Seltytending Programs – free educational tools for anyone to use and learn more about the game of hockey.
Vision
Seltytending aims to provide all hockey and sports fans a reliable and honest source for deeper, intellectual conversation on matters in sports news and in the sport industry. Seltytending wants to make quality journalism available for everyone, and the goal is continuing to do so by expanding the types of content offered on the site and across social media platforms.
Pledge of Support to Hockey Is for Everyone + Hockey Diversity Alliance
“When I founded Seltytending, my goal was to share my passion for hockey with the world and offer a unique perspective to the daily goings-on of the industry. In the years since founding the site, I’ve realized that perspective can be more encompassing. Growing up in San Francisco, CA, I spent my youth (and my hockey career) playing alongside peers of all races, ethnicities, sexualities, and creeds – and that is why I believe that hockey, and all other sports for that matter, are better when more voices are heard, and more faces represented. I believe that we must actively drive positive social change and foster more inclusive communities, and that racism and intolerance in hockey must be eradicated.
On my word, Seltytending pledges to use its platform and its reach to support the Hockey is for Everyone initiative, and the Hockey Diversity Alliance.”
-Brandon Seltenrich, Founder
