The website for the Neepawa Natives has a brand new look. The Manitoba Junior Hockey League club launched the revamped page on Monday, June 22.
Neepawa Natives director of marketing Kaiten Critchlow said this change has been in the works for quite some time.
“It’s something that the MJHL and our team have been looking at for about a year now,” said Critchlow. “The plan was for the league’s site to change and for each member club to do the same with its own websites over the next few weeks. We’re the first team to go ahead and unveil the new look.”
The changes include a cleaner look on the home page, as well as much easier to navigate interactive features. More video capability has also been implemented into the siteto allow for more game highlights to be potentially available online.
Critchlow noted that the website is increasingly becoming a very important part of team branding, as well as being a big part of the player recruitment process. He added that when a young player is interested in playing for a team, one of the first things they’re going to do is check out the club’s home page and that is their first impression on them.”
The arrival of the team website coincides with the arrival of a new league page. MJHL commissioner Kim Davis said the league is continually evaluating all aspects of its operation, which also includes the website.
“The new look has been in the research and development stage for several months. A tremendous amount of work went on behind the scenes to get us where we are today, said Davis. “We’re confident our fans will find the new website eye pleasing, easy to navigate and as always informative.”
It’s expected that all ten of the other member clubs in the MJHL will be changing the design of their websites and sporting the new look within the next few weeks.
