Interns, volunteer writers: FollowThePuck.com wants Y-O-U!

FollowThePuck.com loves Minnesota high school hockey and it is a site that is on the move.

I am looking for as many as 10 to 15 writers from throughout Minnesota to write game stories for this upcoming 2009-2010 hockey season. I am looking for people that have a strong PASSION for high school hockey and plan to attend several games in the area in which they live. You must be willing to attend games that have statewide interest, games of the week, that are playing in your area. You must have a digital camera to upload at least three photos from each game along with your story. I am looking for people in all corners, all Sections, of Minnesota.

The big question. Does it pay? No. I'm sorry. FollowThePuck.com is still in its infancy and is not at the point to pay extra staff. I can offer recognition for your reporting efforts on a sport that we all love, possibly a free media pass to all the hockey events that you attend, a free FollowThePuck.com t-shirt to wear to the events, and other potential perks. You will also be a participant to compile the weekly Class rankings. If you do a good job, there may be paying positions available the following season. Those that do a good job this next season will get first consideration. It will be good experience and a portfolio for your work if you decide to make a career in the media.

As of now, FollowThePuck.com is working on developing a new website, not a blog, in time for the 2009-2010 season. A database is also being developed.

If you are interested, please email me at followsports@gmail.com and let me know what area that you would like to and could cover from November 2009 through March 2010.
