So, I’ve got some news! I’ve been asked to cover the World Junior Hockey Championships as an interactive blogger. The tournament takes place from December 26th to January 5th, right here in my hometown of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. My focus won’t be to recap the hockey itself (I guess they pay people to write about stuff like that) but instead to cover the various activities and events taking place across the City during that time. The whole shebang will be posted over at worldjrs.wordpress.com. It’s all very exciting.
Will I get an interview with one of the weekend’s stars, like Jordan Eberle, Ryan Ellis, or Trooper? Will I get kicked out of the media area of the rink for cheering my face off? Will I post something offensive on the World Juniors blog that gets our plug pulled by Hockey Canada? Only time will tell.
