August 30, 2016, 7:30 amI did not see this until this morning. I can build a resume upon request; my only PA announcing experience was for the local roller derby team; I was the MC and DJ for one season; even playing pump up music for their practices. References also available upon request!

August 30, 2016, 8:52 amRyan, please apply to the link on the website. NHL teams have their own DJs who play the music in-game as their shows are more in depth by positions and creates an opportunity for fewer mistakes during the games.
Good luck in your submission, it’s going to be a very popular opening.

September 3, 2016, 12:54 amThis was just shared with me an hour ago. I have 6 years experience being the p.a announcer for my sons teams they play in zone 1 for high praire minor hockey. I was the p.a announcer for high prairie last year for the Alberta bantam provincials. I can send resume and make a tape. It would be amazing to follow the great Mark Lewis.

The auditions are going to get a lot of people submitting and you never know who is going to get it. Give it a shot and best of luck!
