Earlier this year, as the sports world started to return to some semblance of normalcy, Pro Hockey Rumors put out a call for new writers. We were lucky enough to find a suitable candidate and grow the PHR family with the addition of Josh Erickson. Now, with the calendar inching toward 2022, we’re looking to grow our staff again.
PHR is looking to hire a part-time contributor. The position pays on an hourly basis.
Applicants must meet all of the following criteria:
- Exceptional knowledge of all 32 NHL teams, with no discernible bias.
- Knowledge of the salary cap, CBA, and transaction-related concepts.
- At least some college education.
- Extensive writing experience, with professional experience and a background in journalism both strongly preferred.
- Keen understanding of journalistic principles, ethics, and procedures. Completion of basic college-level journalism classes is strongly preferred.
- Attention to detail — absolutely no spelling errors, especially for player and journalist names.
- Ability to follow the site’s style and tone.
- Ability to analyze articles and craft intelligent, well-written posts summing up the news in a few paragraphs. We need someone who can balance creating quick copy with thoughtful analysis. You must be able to add value to breaking news with your own insight, numbers, or links to other relevant articles.
- Ability to use Twitter, Tweetdeck, and other relevant platforms. In general, you must be able to multi-task.
- Flexibility. You must be available to work on short notice.

We understand that many of those who read this have applied in the past. If you have previously submitted an application for PHR and are still interested, please submit it again. Many will apply, so unfortunately we cannot respond to every applicant.

Here’s the problem-I’ve got an assistant who would blow the doors off your hockey department. Yet you have overlooked him for 2 years.
I love the app and it’s great to see some of the fans perspective at times. (MacJab for one).But you’ve missed the boat on my cap guru.

And you replied to him once,he responded,then went silent.
A lot gets lost in translate but he’s far from bitter. The ball is in your court.

Being represented by a troll name probably doesn’t help their cause.
