On Sunday, September 3, Eyes On The Prize will be undergoing a migration from our current platform to our new site as part of the For Fans Sports Network, a rejoining of many of the hockey sites that used to be under the SB Nation umbrella.
We will remain an independent operation in this new partnership, as will several other sites. We will not be posting a Habs Headlines article that day as the transfer takes place.
The move provides us with a custom-built content management system that has been internally developed based on the feedback received from our community and others, and one that will see regular improvements catered toward a community of sports fans.
The hope is that the transition will be a smooth one for the site and our readers. We appreciate your patience as we get set back up over the course of the day.
