Doohicksie Posted August 20 Report Posted August 20 (edited) EDIT: His Patreon was taken down by hackers but Patreon has resolved it. So basically, Patreon did a migration and lost data from several of their members, including The Hockey Guy. So he's lost a major portion of his income stream. I'm a member of his YouTube channel and he posted a members only video about this. I know some of you watch and enjoy his videos. If you've ever considered supporting him financially, you can become a member of his YouTube channel for $2 per month. This would be a really good time. I have no other stake in this other than I enjoy his content and want him to be able to continue generating his independent content. Mods: If a post like this violates any forum rules, feel free to delete this thread. Edited August 20 by Doohickie 1 1 1
PerreaultForever Posted August 20 Report Posted August 20 he must be making enough money considering how many jerseys he's got hanging there. When I first saw him I assumed that was inside a sports store but apparently not. Apparently all his.

When I first saw him I assumed that was inside a sports store but apparently not. Apparently all his. I don't particularly like his videos, but I'll admit I watched a bunch during COVID when I ran out of things to do. He talked about his collection in one of them and I remember him saying a lot were gifts/donations from people, but he'd also been collecting for decades and that it was just his very expensive alternative to stamp collecting. I'm jealous of his collection. I've only got two jerseys: an Eichel jersey I bought a few months before the injury that led to his departure and a Bergeron jersey. The latter is because Bergeron remains my favorite post-lockout player. I don't want to talk about the former.
PromoTheRobot Posted August 20 Report Posted August 20 I have a closet full of old minor league jerseys. I wonder if he'd take them for his collection? 1

They do last I have to say that. I have had money to burn and probably have a dozen different ones (even a Letterkenny Shamrocks and a Happy Gilmore just for laughs). I have an Orr jersey I should probably be buried in. The hockey guy is fine (even though he's a terrible hockey player) but he just rehashes stuff that's yesterday's news and he is far too diplomatic to make him overly entertaining. I hope he can continue but if not I'm not overly concerned. He's usually a day behind @Brawndo when it comes to Sabres news. 1

Doohicksie Posted August 20 Author Report Posted August 20 Okay, update: He apparently had his Patreon taken down by hackers. So I withdraw my original post. But if you like any content provider, consider supporting them.

Doohicksie Posted August 21 Author Report Posted August 21 Well it seems like this thread has overstayed its welcome.

THG is good people, sorry this happened to him.
