Join the HabsWorld Writing Team!

With training camp fast approaching, we’re looking to add some writers to our team for the upcoming season. If you have a passion for the Habs and are looking for an outlet to write about them, we’d like to hear from you.

HabsWorld is one of the longest-running Canadiens fan websites out there as we are in our 18th year of operation. Over that time, we’ve had nearly 100 people contribute to the site, many of which had no prior writing experience.

Here is an overview of some of the writing opportunities we have available:

Postgame Writers: For our postgame recaps, we do a hybrid piece featuring a game recap and 3 Stars to discuss Montreal’s top performers in a bit more detail.

Stat Columns: With analytics now being used more than ever plus a whole world of new information about to be available through the NHL’s new tracking system, we’d like to get back to some stats-based columns which is something we used to have in the early days of the site but haven’t had lately. This isn’t something we’d necessarily be looking for on a weekly basis but rather a few pieces here and there over the course of the season.

Monthly 3 Stars: Each month, we compile the stats and run a ballot for our readers to vote for their three stars of the month.  A column is then run after the voting ends to provide the results.

Prospect Coverage: Right now, our prospect coverage involves weekly Recaps from Laval, monthly 3 Stars pieces, plus our popular annual prospect rankings series which will likely be delayed again this season with an eye on running it during the Olympic break.  We’re always looking to add to that and in particular, doing something with more detailed player breakdowns is something we’ve wanted to do for a while. If you follow the prospects closely and fancy yourself as someone that could put together a good scouting report, you’re the type of person we’re looking for.

History Pieces: There is plenty of history when it comes to the Montreal Canadiens. From championships to big events, big trades to memorable moments, there are plenty of things to write about. This is a series (This Day in History or a column about an entire year) that we’ve wanted to get into for a while; please let us know if it’s something you’d be interested in trying.

General Opinion Columns: This has always been a part of our site and that’s not going to change anytime soon. If you don’t think you’d want to write a more structured column, perhaps this is the fit for you.

These are volunteer positions; while we do run ads, those only help us cover the day-to-day costs of running the site and our message board.

If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, or you want to follow up on your application, please feel free to email me at b.larose@habsworld.net. We thank you for your continued support over these past 18-plus years.
