Winnipeg Jets Fans – Hockey At The Forks Wants You!
Hockey at the Forks has steadily grown as FanSided’s home for Winnipeg Jets coverage dating back to when the site was first launched in 2010, celebrating the return of hockey to Winnipeg. The Jets have seen plenty of changes to their roster in that time frame, not to mention the full gamut of on-ice successes and failures as the team rises to the top, and so too has the staff here on site. The constant has always been our goal here on site: to give you folks, our readers, the very best Jets discussion that we possibly can.
The 2015-2016 season is primed with the start of free agency, development camps, and then the transition to training camp and the preseason. The Winnipeg Jets made the playoffs last year, but are still looking for the teams first playoff win in Winnipeg since 1996. We want you on board with us before the regular season starts – so apply today.
Consider yourself a passionate fan? Read us or other Winnipeg Jets sites with regularity and ever wonder if you should write about the team too? Maybe you’re just stumbling across us for the first time and you like what you see. Maybe your family and friends have told you to start writing about the team. We are looking to add to our staff here on site and this could be your chance to grab a stick and join the team.
Hockey at the Forks is currently looking to add contributing staff writers to their team of writers, we have a spot for you.
Expectations
We like to let our staff write about the aspects of the team they are most passionate about. There’s room for those interested in covering the minor leagues. Maybe you’re more of a transaction junkie and you want to talk about the impact a new signing or trade could have. Or even just chipping in on series previews, roundtable discussions on staff about how the team should approach the offseason or whether a big move is needed to get them back on top, or helping with a number of other potential story ideas there could be a place for you here on the team.

Contributing Writers are asked to contribute 1-2 posts per week. We’ll always welcome more frequent contributions than that, but we won’t require it. We want you to write about what you are passionate about, bringing your opinion to the conversation.
We know that for most this is mostly a hobby and something you do for the love of it. That’s why we do it too, as most of us have families, full-time careers, and/or school to balance into our lives as well (there’s room for things besides hockey, right?). This is an opportunity to join a staff of writers here who are just simply passionate about the Winnipeg Jets and want to continue to reach the rest of this great fan base.
Want to join us?
Applying is very easy. Head on over and complete an application. It’ll give you a chance to share some insight into your background (prior online writing experience is not necessary but always encouraged) and let us know why you’d be a fit on site, so give it your best. We’ll be in touch from there.
If you have any questions about the roles, please feel free to email kyle.franzoni@fansided.com or timothy.redinger@fansided.com with any questions.
