Never really had a dream job. Just kind of floated along through school and the early years of work. My most favorite job was working in a small town TV/radio station. It was so hands on and involved in all aspects was really cool.
I started part time with Canucks about 4 or 5 years ago and that has turned into nearly a fulltime job. We have implemented a tonne of new technology with the latest being a program called iBench. You guessed it, video streams from the video coaches to the coaches on the bench for immediate feed back. Used a lot in football but as far as I know there is not a lot of video streaming in hockey. Now I am part of team that implements and maintains all the technology in Roger's arena, scoreboard right down to the tv in Gillis' office. The building is very cool and a lot of fun. Just the wrong damn team.
So on to current dream job. Talked to a few people at the Flames about what we do at Roger's arena and they have no full time person in that capacity per se mostly part timers. They also don't have as big of operation on the side of things either. Hoping to have a few more conversations once a few people get back from holidays . Who knows, but would be cool to say that after growing up dreaming of wearing the Flaming C that you do actually work there.
Sorry, long winded, bored at work.
