Hockey Fans Unit – Frozen Futures Writers Wanted

Frozen Futures has steadily grown as FanSided’s home for Minor League hockey coverage dating back to when the site was first launched. From the juniors, NCAA, the NHL Entry Draft, and their first pro contract – Frozen Futures is here to follow all the ups and downs of the semi-pro and minor league hockey players.

The 2014-15 season is unfortunately behind us now, but that doesn’t mean we rest. We want to continue to cover the offseason with the same passion and vigor that we present on site during the regular season and the Stanley Cup playoffs. We need your help to do that – and get the path of these guys careers started out right.

Consider yourself a passionate fan? Read us or other minor league hockey sites with regularity and ever wonder if you should write about the team too? Maybe you’re just stumbling across us for the first time and you like what you see.   Maybe your family and friends have told you to start writing about the team. We are looking to add to our staff here on site and this could be your chance to grab a stick and join the team.

Frozen Futures is currently looking to fill multiple roles on site, from contributors to staff writers – we have a spot for the average fan, or the rabid puck eater.

Expectations

We like to let our staff write about the aspects of the team they are most passionate about. There’s room for those interested in covering the minor leagues of all levels – and even those prospects seeing time in the NHL. Maybe you’re more of a transaction junkie and you want to talk about the impact a new signing or trade could have. Or even just chipping in on series previews, roundtable discussions on staff about how the team should approach the offseason or whether a big move is needed to get them back on top, or helping with a number of other potential story ideas there could be a place for you here on the team.

Writers are asked to contribute 1-2 posts per week. We’ll always welcome more frequent contributions than that, but we won’t require it.

We know that for most this is mostly a hobby and something you do for the love of it. That’s why we do it too, as most of us have families, full-time careers, and/or school to balance into our lives as well (there’s room for things besides hockey, right?). This is an opportunity to join a staff of writers here who are just simply passionate about the sport of hockey and want to continue to reach the rest of this great fan base.

Want to join us?

Applying is very easy. Head on over and complete an application. It’ll give you a chance to share some insight into your background (prior online writing experience is not necessary but always encouraged) and let us know why you’d be a fit on site, so give it your best. We’ll be in touch from there.

If you have any questions about the roles, please feel free to email kyle.franzoni@fansided.com or timothy.redinger@fansided.com with any questions.
