What are we looking for
- The ideal candidate will be a Flames fan. and ideally have a general idea about the team and how they operate. An openness to learn is always appreciated
- They will also have a critical mind, and be able to provide nuanced opinions about hockey. Having an opinion is great, but being able to back it up with insights and facts is what we are looking for
