The Sunshine Skate has expanded at a rather rapid rate since its inception on October 1st. Since that date, we’ve brought in Mike Obrand as a Lead Writer, Yel as a Copy Editor, Patric M. as the Producer of “PodCats”/Writer, and Christy as our extraordinary Artist. However, The Sunshine Skate has no intention of slowing down. That being said, The Sunshine Skate is looking to bring in another writer or two.
Who We’re Looking For:
- Any individual who is passionate about the Florida Panthers. It doesn’t matter if you’re a local fan or if you live states away, if you love the Panthers, TSS wants you.
- Any individual who is willing to be fair and objective. If you feel strongly about something, back it up with some facts. Include stats in your writing. Just don’t bash something for the sake of it.
That’s it. Pretty simple. We just want any individual who loves this team and wants to write about hockey. If you don’t feel confident about your writing, apply anyways. We’ll work with you.
Also, this is just a blog.
We do this for fun.
What We’re Looking For:
- Weekly Content: We are looking for someone who is able to write at least once a week. Whether it’s game day stuff, topical content, minor-league updates, or post-game analysis, we would want someone who could contribute to TSS at least once a week. If you have an idea of something like you’d like to cover weekly, let us know.
Again, pretty simple stuff. We want someone who is active and will contribute to TSS at least once a week. However, if you’d like to write more than that, it’s up to you.
If you’d like to write more than once a week, it will help your chances.
Also, a comprehensive understanding of “fancy stats” isn’t necessary. However, it would be a plus.
Application Process:
1. If you are interested in joining the TSS family, send us an e-mail at thesunshineskate@gmail.com by November 07th.
You have until November 7th (Five days) to just send us an e-mail saying you’re interested.
2. From there, you will be asked to write an article of YOUR choosing. We want you to feel comfortable and confident in what you write. It could be an analytics piece or a game day post. Really, whatever you’d like. It’s your call. We want to see you at your best. You have until November 14th to submit your article.
3. From there, the TSS staff will review each article as a group. Ideally, we would like to bring in one (maybe two) writers. If we feel that we need to do a tie-breaker, we will assign a topic/article for you to write to break the tie.
tl;dr:
Do you love the Florida Panthers? Would you be interested in writing about the team? Are you a fair and objective person?
If you said “Heck Yeah!” to each question, send an e-mail to thesunshineskate@gmail.com by November 07th.
After that, send us an article you wrote by November 14th.
Good Luck!
