(I don't know if this is the right forum to post this, but if it isn't, can someone tell me where I should go?)
Does anyone have any kind of tips on how to break into the hockey/sports industry? Not as a player, but just as someone who works behind the scenes, regardless if it's with analytics, any kind of office job, or anything else in or around the arena.
This has been an industry I have always wanted to work in and would love to work my way up in it, even if I have to volunteer or do internships to start off. I just don't know where/how to start. Like I said, it doesn't even have to be hockey specifically, but since this is a hockey board, I figured I'd ask here. Are there junior/minor league types of opportunities or anything similar out there? I live in Toronto, slightly closer to Mississauga than downtown Toronto itself, so I'm not sure where I might find any of these types of opportunities.
I have graduated with a business degree, so I at least have some kind of education which hopefully could help me further get my foot in a door. So many other industries there are internships and volunteer positions where it might just lead to a boring or dead end job, but I love sports so much that I know working in or around it in any kind of capacity would make me love to work each and every day, regardless if it's an internship or a full on job.
