Detroit, MI — November 17, 2025 — The Junior Hockey News (TJHN), one of the most widely read and trusted sources for global junior hockey coverage, is proud to announce the acquisition of College Hockey News Europe (CHNE) https://chne.eu, a rapidly growing media outlet dedicated to covering collegiate ice hockey across Europe.
The acquisition strengthens TJHN’s international footprint and reflects its commitment to expanding comprehensive coverage of emerging hockey markets, including the fast-growing European university and collegiate hockey landscape. By integrating CHNE’s European expertise with TJHN’s established reputation, readers can expect deeper analysis, broader reporting, and expanded multimedia content across both platforms.
“College hockey in Europe is evolving at an unprecedented pace,” said Joseph Kolodziej, Publisher of The Junior Hockey News. “CHNE has built a strong foundation as the leading source for European college hockey updates. By bringing their brand, staff, and reach into the TJHN network, we are creating a unified platform capable of telling the full story of the sport’s development internationally.”
Under the acquisition:
- CHNE will continue operating under its established brand name, with editorial direction supported by TJHN.
- Expanded coverage will include the FCAA, SUHL, EUCHL, national university leagues, player development pathways, and international collegiate tournaments.
- New features, such as rankings, athlete profiles, data analytics, and recruiting resources, will be introduced in the upcoming season.
- Digital integration will ensure CHNE readers gain access to TJHN’s extensive archives, scouting insights, and global junior hockey network.
CHNE editorials, staff writers, and contributors will remain in place, ensuring continuity while benefiting from TJHN’s resources, audience base, and technology.
“This partnership is a win for the sport and for the players,” added Kolodziej. “As more European universities invest in hockey, there is a growing need for credible, consistent, and professional media coverage. Together with CHNE, we’re excited to elevate the visibility of European college hockey on a global stage.”
The transition will begin immediately, with full platform integration expected by the end of November.
