Local Woman Lobbying to Become Canucks’ Official Blogger
To their credit, our local hockey team has a blog. They were doing all right, getting players to post reports from training camp, and so forth. Unfortunately, lately they’ve had Bill Ranford (former NHL goalie and, I think, Canucks’ goaltending coach) running a gamelog. It’s a somewhat abstract description of the game in realtime with some commentary. I’m not sure who it’s for, but not for anybody watching TV or listening to the radio.
Regardless, I read about Jennifer Good via The Vancouverite and Kitsilano.ca:
I’ve finally decided on the ideal job for myself. Blogger to the Vancouver Canucks. What I would do is follow them around, watch every single game and then blog about it–but the twist is, it will be from the perspective or point of view of a girly girl. I would lay on the “duh”. Kind of like…hockey is the new black - always in style. Instead of talking actual stats I would create my own. Instead of knowing how many goals they got in a season people will know their astrological signs, birthdays, favorite pick up lines, you get the idea. I will talk about all the puck sluts. I’ll mock the other teams. It’ll be great.
I think I’d vote for the actual stats and analysis. Regardless, Ms. Mrs. Good recognizes that a little skin goes a long way, which might help sway the skeptics. That’s a shoddy Photoshop job on the logo, though.
