Considering that it’s July, hockey probably isn’t the first thing on your mind right now, unless, of course, you’re sweltering in a room without air conditioning dreaming of the cool air inside the rink. The offseason is a time for National Hockey League Teams to address their needs, and that isn’t only about the personnel who wear ice skates. Although many of the NHL Teams have major Summer internship programs, they also need interns during the hockey season. While you may be focused on baseball or the Olympics right now, you should get your mind back to hockey for a bit and try to find an internship with an NHL Team for this coming fall or spring.
There’s no way to generalize about all of the internships with NHL teams, because there are just too many. We’ve listed below all of the currently listed internships offered by the NHL and its teams. The NHL’s Jobs and Internships site is built on the same job board software that we talked about when we covered the NFL’s internships. We generally like it. It’s easy to navigate, and you can apply for the internships easily online. Here’s what’s available.

Internship Opportunities (Fall 2008) - Florida Panthers (Sunrise, FL)

There’s a decent amount of information about each internship on the site, and for the most part the NHL teams do a good job of identifying exactly what they’re looking for in candidates. Fall looks like a great time to intern with the NHL, so get out of the penalty box and start researching.

I was just reading some articles about some hockey players from Cornell who graduated (or didn’t) with me and how much they’re making in their “entry-level jobs.” You should definitely hang out with the hockey players at your college.
