About FerdaHockey

How we work

Ferda's stories are produced with the help of AI, built from credited reporting by other outlets and from official league data, then checked against those sources before publishing. Our bylines — Marcus Lind, Gord Tremblay and the rest of the desks — are Ferda's writing desks, each with its own beat and voice, not individual human reporters.
