CapGeek
''CapGeek'' was the name of a Canadian hockey website, specializing on the business aspect of the NHL. The site featured explanations of the salary cap, the status of a players' contract, statistics, etc. Called revolutionary by hockey experts, CapGeek was launched in 2009 by Metro Halifax sports journalist Mathew Wuest. The site garnered commercial and critical success, became a top source for information on players' salaries and landed Wuest on The Hockey News' list of ''Top 100 Most Influential People in Hockey''.
CapGeek was disbanded on January 3, 2015, due to the owner's terminal illness and his unwillingness to turn the site over to another operator. Despite being un–accessible for the prior few months, CapGeek still received an estimated 10,360 hits in May, 2015.
== The site ==
CapGeek.com was founded in 2009 by Mathew Wuest. Originally called ''SalaryCapCalculator.com'', Wuest was persuaded by his wife to change the name to CapGeek, as it was more marketable. Wuest slowly built his site until it suddenly "exploded" in popularity, to the point that NHL teams themselves were using it as a reliable source.〔 The site ran until January, 2015, when Wuest shocked the hockey community in closing the site. Upon entering the website, a statement was displayed, which included "This sudden decision is made with a heavy heart and is due to the personal health of CapGeek.com founder and director Matthew Wuest". By its closure, CapGeek had become so well known within the hockey world that the NHL itself reported the closure of the site with a featured article on their main webpage.
Despite Wuest stating that he had no intentions of selling, offers were made, as high as "six figures" in some cases. Wuest declined all purchase inquires.〔〔
