The Dallas Stars might have just posted the most unusual and most entertaining job opening in the NHL.
If you've ever dreamed of working for the Dallas Stars, this might be your chance. The team has opened up an application for a brand-new position: Assistant to Victor E. Green, the team's beloved (and big green) mascot.
Brought to light by writer Bethany Erickson, the job posting has quickly become a talking point. It's not just a desk gig, this role comes with a very specific (and hilarious) set of responsibilities.
According to the listing, the assistant will be responsible for the condition of the mascot costume, which may translate to making sure it's freshened up after every game. (Yes, Febreze is definitely in your toolkit.)
You'll also need to ice skate and be able to lift 40 pounds. Whether that has to happen at the same time isn't clear, but practicing might be a good idea. And maybe the best part?
You'll be the mascot's voice at events, all while sticking to the mysterious «mascot rules» the Stars have in place.
What makes this Dallas Stars job unique
Victor E. Green has become a fan favorite since debuting in 2014, zipping around the ice at home games and keeping fans entertained with antics that sometimes rival the action itself.
Being his assistant means you're part of the show, an unusual, but potentially dream-worthy role for the right hockey fan.
The listing has already been up for five days, so time may be running short. If you're underemployed, have a boss who talks too much, or just want to swap the office for the rink, this could be the job that changes everything.
I think what makes this so fun is that it shows how creative the Stars are with fan engagement. Most NHL job postings don't involve skating, performing, and keeping a giant green mascot in top form.
