Help Wanted!

We're looking for a few people to blog 2 or 3 times a month about topics that appeal to college hockey fans across the board (rather than writing specifically about your team... unless the news about your team is so important that everyone would be interested).

You must commit to writing a minimum of one article per month during the hockey season. Please understand, this position is unpaid; however (attention journalism students!) this is a great opportunity to have your work published on a national Web site that receives thousands of hits every week.

To apply, please e-mail us us your resume and writing samples.
