The GM Search Begins

Since the Sea Dogs announced publicly yesterday via press release and their website that they are accepting applications for the team’s general manager position, there has certainly been some interesting feedback about the move on the interweb.

Our pal CJ of ‘Power Play with CJ’ fame explains why the Sea Dogs should hire him as their new GM via YouTube video.

He makes some solid points. This is the kind of creativity we need around here.

A few of the better tweets tweeted yesterday:

@SeaDogsHockey I don't know much about management but if you hire me and we win it would make a great inspirational true story movie.

“I think it’s been deemed outside the box or a little untraditional to actually go out and advertise or state that we’re looking,” Sea Dogs president Wayne Long said in today’s Telegraph-Journal (paywall).

Check out that T-J article if you get a chance as Long explains the hiring process and what they are looking for quite nicely. By the sounds of it, the Sea Dogs are going to be putting a lot of work in to make sure they hire the right person. That is a good thing.
