Russian Machine Never Breaks
Russian Machine Never Breaks (RMNB) is a credentialed Washington, D.C. area hockey blog that covers professional ice hockey. Created in 2009, RMNB received local and national media attention when it was the first U.S. media outlet to cover the 2013 Russian meteor event in the city of Chelyabinsk, Russia.
RMNB is a fan-operated, credentialed, multinational hockey blog that covers the Washington Capitals of the National Hockey League, the Hershey Bears (the Capitals' American Hockey League affiliate), and their respective players. Created in 2009 by Ian Oland and Peter Hassett, RMNB's mission is to "make hockey as fun to read about as it is to watch". RMNB takes its name from current Capitals captain and Russian native, Alexander Ovechkin. In response to questions from the media about a potential injury after being hit with a puck, Ovechkin was quoted in 2006 stating, "I'm okay; Russian machine never breaks."
In February 2013, RMNB received local and national media attention when co-founder and writer Peter Hassett, with contributing writers Fedor Fedin and Ian Oland, published the first U.S. media report about the Russian meteor event.
In November 2013, the Washington Capitals announced that RMNB would contribute segments to their Emmy-winning television show, Caps Red Line.
Russian Machine Never Breaks has eight current contributors. All staff members work full-time for other companies or are pursuing academic degrees in the United States and abroad.
Ian Oland is RMNB's co-founder (with Peter Hassett) and publisher. He is a graduate of University of Maryland, Baltimore County and works as the Senior Email Marketing Design Strategist at Visual Data Systems. His work has been published in The Washington Post.
Peter Hassett is RMNB's co-founder (with Ian Oland) and managing editor. Hassett writes game recaps and analysis. He is a graduate of James Madison University and works as the Director of Technology at Patient Solutions at DrugDev.
Rachel Cohen is a graphic artist and the blog's lead illustrator. She graduated from the University of Hartford in 2013. Her work has been featured in The Hockey News and USA Today.
