Full Writing Teams
Boston Bruins, Calgary Flames, Detroit Red Wings, Edmonton Oilers, Montreal Canadiens, New York Rangers, Toronto Maple Leafs, and Winnipeg Jets.
The above writing teams are full at this time. If your preferred team is not on that list, it can be assumed that it is available. However, even if your preferred team is full right now, it doesn’t mean that you should not apply. You can start by covering another team (or multiple teams) until a spot does open up. We also have opportunities available to cover all things prospects, including the draft and World Junior Championship.
We receive a lot of requests and are not able to reply to everyone. If you do not receive a reply within three days, it means that we are not moving forward with your application.
