Link to Hockey Threads

Hockey Threads is a one-stop-shop for NHL fans interested in the visuals of the world of hockey. A mix of news around the league, updates on uniforms, a database of jerseys, and a showcase of jersey concepts. Hockey Threads is a prototype website designed to keep hockey jersey enthusiasts up to date on the latest in uniform news, as well as general scoops about the NHL. As a hockey fan as well as an artist, I’ve long been obsessed with the aesthetics of hockey. I’m a part of a large community of hockey jersey collectors (or jersey nerds), and I wanted to create a website that someone like me would like to use. The two main parts of Hockey Threads are a database of all of the jerseys and logos in use during the 2022-23 NHL season, and a concept page where users can submit and showcase their personal jersey design concepts. These are supported with a uniform news page and league news page, keeping fans informed about the latest happenings in the NHL. This website represents many of my passions into one, and I wanted to use my experience in UX/UI design and graphic art to create a visually pleasing page that is not only informative, but exciting and engaging.

From a very young age, Matt has always been obsessed with art, while at the same time he was falling in love with the sport of hockey from his father.
