Junior B hockey club looking for videographers and commentators

The 100 Mile House Wranglers Junior B Hockey Club’s recent volunteer fair at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre had a few volunteers register

The 100 Mile House Wranglers Junior B Hockey Club’s recent volunteer fair at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre had a few volunteers register, but club president Tom Bachynski says folks will have more opportunities to jump on board.

He adds the club will be holding more sign-up sessions until they get as many volunteers as they need.

“We know they’re out there and we know they want to volunteer. We just don’t know who they are right now and we just want to identify who they are and then away we go.”

When the Wranglers’ Main Camp comes to 100 Mile House on Aug. 18-20, the club president expects the volunteers will step forward.

“I think this is when people will see the hockey team is for real; the ice will be in, the jerseys will be in and the smell of hockey will be in the air. Then the volunteers will start coming in.”

One of the club commitments for being a member of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League is videotaping home games.

“Part of the franchise agreement is you have to have a certain quality of video to put online [for the league’s pay-for-view game offering].”

Bachynski adds it’s fairly inexpensive for folks to view online.

The club has purchased cameras for different angles, will have instant replay and there will be advertising opportunities, too.

He says the club is looking for people who have a passion for videography, someone who would like to do play-by-play commentary. He adds they’re looking for someone interested in providing the “colour” analysis.

People who are interested should call the Wranglers office at 250-395-4344.
