The EIHL is the highest competitive ice hockey league in the UK. In March of 2019 following my work with the CHL I was asked to work with the league during 'Playoff Weekend'. The playoff weekend is as it says a weekend filled with ice hockey, it consists of the the final competitive matches of the season where four teams compete for the Playoff title, in Nottingham, in April.
My role was making sure the social media platform Instagram was up to date with images and content, including the story. I ensured the story was filled with a variety of content, from fans to game updates. I was also given the responsibility to conduct the post game interviews on multiple occasions and took it upon myself to make executive decisions when it came to what content to include and the number of interviewees I was going to include during the final.
The job was spread across three days and four ice hockey games, where content needed to be up within seconds of goals and events happening. The importance of my role was making sure the audience which couldn't watch the game live were still able to feel part of the game and be informed with all that was happening.
UPDATE:
Since working the Playoff weekend I have been asked to work the Challenge Cup Final and future Playoff weekends but due to COVID-19 this years competition was cancelled. This not only gives me confidence in my ability to produce good and informative content but also proves my reliability and consistency in content production.
