    The travel is nuts. You fly across three time zones regularly, probably four or five times a season. Road trips full of insomnia.

    Oh, yeah, add the Twin Cities to the cities of frigid nature you'll visit in December, January and February

    I had a friend who was the director of ticket operations, and even he had a makeshift cot and video game console in his tiny office for all the nights he slept over, and all the down time during the many stretches where he "was expected" to be at the office even when there was nothing to do. And trust me, his pay was no where near consummate, which surprised me considering how "easy" the job was at the time to sell Red Wings tickets. Sure, he got a lot of job-related perks like tickets for friends, access to parties, memorabilia, etc., but none of that stuff can pay the rent. He quit after a few years.

    Call me nuts -- but to me, the travel isn't a bad thing.

    The travel would only be worse for a baseball team.

    Isn't this a second posting? I seem to remember getting this in my e-mail box a few weeks after Brinich left the organization.

    Where is hockeyman when you need him.....someone should tell these people the value of working something like the Stanley Cup finals every third year and the NHL playoffs every year. That probably looks pretty decent on a resume....

    1-2 years of experience? TWO WHOLE YEARS? Aren't they setting the bar a little high?

    why would it help the PR guy's resume if the team won the stanley cup?

    Nothing wrong with MSP in winter; it could be worse. You could have to go to Winnipeg...
