Looking for a summer job?

The BTSH media is seeking a skilled and energetic writer to join our team and report on La Famiglia throughout the 2011 season.  Candidates should possess a strong journalistic background, a thorough knowledge of street hockey, and a firm grasp of obscure pop culture references (or at least, two out of the three).  This is a great opportunity to work with two of the elite web writers in the business and get a hands-on education on how to run a highly successful and entertaining sports blog.

Please note, this is an unpaid position.  However, benefits include VIP seating at all La Famiglia home games in the historic Tuques Arena, traveling with the team to road games, a chance to meet The Peter Wilson, and the opportunity to build a professional writing portfolio.

Job Responsibilities:

• Writing La Famiglia’s team preview for the 2011 season
• Attending captain David Ladanyi’s weekly press conference
• Tracking the team throughout the season and creating periodic features on its progress
• Previewing each of La Famiglia’s 18 regular season games, as well as any potential playoff contests
• Monitoring La Famiglia’s minor league system and keeping tabs on any up and coming prospects
• Conducting pre- and post-game interviews with key players, most notably team press secretary, Shafiq “Off Black” Perry

Interested candidates should forward their resumes and two writing samples to derek@btsh.org or eli@btsh.org with the subject line “La Famiglia.”
