Weekly Columnist at Goalie Post (Posted September 08)

Position Overview: DobberHockey is looking for a passionate fantasy hockey writer to contribute a regular weekly column! If you live and breathe NHL fantasy, love diving into stats, player trends, prospect risers/fallers, lineup advice, or hot takes on the week’s biggest storylines, this is your chance to join our team and reach thousands of dedicated fantasy managers. Start off as a weekly writer at Goalie Post. Establish reliability, hone your style and talent. You’ll then be first up when DobberHockey needs it’s next columnist. Three of DobberHockey’s last four columnists apprenticed at Goalie Post for six to eighteen months first.

We’re building on our strong community of experts and want fresh voices to add depth to our coverage. This role is ideal for someone looking to grow their portfolio, build an audience, and become a go-to name in fantasy hockey writing.

Responsibilities:

• Produce one high-quality weekly column (typically 800–1500 words) focused on fantasy-relevant topics related to line combinations such as:
  • Waiver wire pickups and streamers
  • Trade deadline analysis
  • Prospect call-ups and impacts
  • Goalie deep-dives
  • Mainly goalie-centric
• Submit content on a consistent schedule (e.g., every week, depending on the slot).
• Incorporate data, stats, and insights from reliable sources (Frozen Tools, etc.).
• Engage with readers through comments and social media shares.
• Collaborate with the team on ideas and edits as needed.

Qualifications:

• Deep knowledge of fantasy hockey formats (rotisserie, points, dynasty, keeper, etc.).
• Strong writing skills: clear, engaging, opinionated but fair, with solid grammar and structure.
• Experience writing about hockey (blogs, personal sites, forums, or previous publications) recommended but not required – please share links to your work!
• Passion for the NHL and staying current on news, injuries, line combos, and fantasy implications.
• Reliable and deadline-oriented – we need consistency. This is important in building your following. The most important trait absolutely required.
• Bonus: Familiarity with Goalie Post and have found that you have been pretty fortunate with your goalie decisions within your league.

Compensation: This starts as a volunteer/freelance position to build your portfolio and gain exposure within our community. As with our other roles, there may be a small stipend that can grow based on performance, audience engagement, and overall site/follower growth.
