They began on a probationary basis, demonstrated reliability, enthusiasm and skill, and quickly moved up. These positions are voluntary (unpaid) and require passion and dedication. Members of our editing staff, that do get paid, all got their start here.

June 21, 2025 – Goalie Post Contributor (Two) – Ramblings

We are looking for a fantasy hockey enthusiast who has the goaltending position figured out. That’s nobody? Good answer! But if you think you do a pretty good job of breaking the position down and have a successful strategy, why not share your knowledge? No writing experience needed (though your writing skills must be solid). This is an introductory position that is unpaid, but proven reliability will see you moved to a paid role.

What You'll Do:

• During the season, we would like you to write and submit a goalie-centric article every week. Can be strategy-based, results-based or even prospect-based. Mid-September through mid-April.
• During the offseason, we would like you to write and submit a monthly article (May, June, July, August)
• If you show reliability, we will ask you to chip in with posting starting goalie confirmations (because one can never be too fast with those!)

Who You Are:

• Passionate about hockey and storytelling.
• Detail-oriented with strong writing and organizational skills.
• Reliable. Fantasy-hockey obsessed.
