The RiverKings have re-opened the application process.

Please be clear -- this is a sales position and that it should be reflected in your cover letter/resume. Many applicants are not even mentioning sales in their emails/cover letter/resumes. Those who don't are immediately disqualified.

This is a terrific opportunity. The sales aspect is very common in minor league hockey.
