The Athletic is well worth the price for hockey fans of any one team but the value gets significantly better for those who are fans of happenings around the entire league. Add in those interested in other sports and the cost of subscription is a no-brainer.

Branching out, some other subscriptions I subscribe to as I think they offer good value and am always interested in discovering new ones and supporting quality work. What are some others people subscribe to?

NHL
JFresh $54/year - the red/blue cards you see for players/teams/prospects that have taken the hockey community by storm.
HockeyViz $7/month - graphics you see less commonly than JFresh's but a larger variety of insights available.
Evolving-Hockey $54/year - Access to an array of "advanced" statistics and well-done graphics/charts. Evolving Hockey's expected goal model outperforms Natural Stat Trick's in both correlation to actual goals and area under curve so always interested in seeing their differences.
Corey Sznajder hockey $9.50/month - NHL tracking data.
Architecte Hockey $71/year - awesome databases and graphics using data from the private company, InStat, and the terrific Corey Sznajder. The owner, Bryce, will likely get scooped by an NHL team sooner rather than later so I'm enjoying this while it lasts.
Mitch Brown hockey $9.50/month - WHL/OHL/QMJHL/USHL/NCAA tracking data.
Hockey Prospecting $25/year - Access to Byron Bader's NHL prospect projection model from 30 years ago to present.

NFL
PFF NFL $40/year to $200/year (USD) - Tracking and grading for every player on every play. Unbelievable resource for NFL fans.

UFC
MMA By The Numbers $374/year - database of basic and advanced statistics for the UFC.

Soccer
Between The Posts $10-$50 (EUR) - Articles, plots, and advanced stats for numerous domestic, continental, and international leagues.

PGA
DataGolf - $190 or $270/year (USD) - Access to the PGA's ShotLink data and a variety of charts and metrics they have created.
Fantasy National - 250/year (USD) - Access to the PGA's ShotLink data in an easy-to-filter database. Further breaks metrics down by things like grass type, wind, etc.

Undoubtedly missed a couple but it's a start. Interesting in others.
