    I have a hockey goalie forum (as in ice hockey goalie forum) that was just recently upgraded on the server side and was reskinned. Please check out CreaseMonkey.com and let me know what you think.

    Thanks.

    The theme is good but it is bit dark and the header image is not clear and it is little cluttered.

    Thanks, I asked the designer to look at the nhl.com team sites and we combined some elements. The background was a bit like the Toronto Maple Leafs background.

    I liked the dark because it kind of gave that lack of day light feel that goes along with early morning ice time and the lack of sun during hockey season. What do you mean by cluttered; the header image or its placement?

    I like the overall design.
    Very simple to understand, but the monkey confuses me - what does it have to do with Hockey?
    Maybe get artwork of a Gorilla/Monkey playing Hockey. Look at this example artwork: silverbackapp.com

    It's a common term like rally monkey or grease monkey. Crease monkey is a common term for a hockey goalie and anyone playing the position will be familiar with it.

    Ahhh, my audience is predominately Canadian.

    I was just thinking that I would make a list of featured posts and send them out to my email list. I can see about adding a featured post list.
