The Athens Rock Lobsters are seeking a high-energy, hockey-savvy Gameday Music Coordinator to drive the sound and spirit of our home games during the 2025–26 season.

This is a part-time, gameday role.

Key Responsibilities:

Game-Ready Music Execution:

Curate and execute dynamic music playlists tailored to the flow of hockey—from warmups and faceoffs to goals, penalties, and timeouts
Deliver timely music cues for stoppages, power plays, fights, and momentum shifts to match the game's intensity
Incorporate team entrance songs, goal songs, and win music seamlessly into the production

In-Game Entertainment Integration:

Collaborate with the Game Operations and Production Manager to sync music with on-ice promotions, media timeouts, intermission contests, mascot entrances, and video board moments
Adjust music in real-time based on game situations (e.g., crowd reactions, comeback energy, penalty kills)

Team & Player Collaboration:

Work with Game Operations and Production Manager to ensure player warm-up songs reflect team personalities while aligning with team standards
Maintain music databases for team selections, team themes, and league-approved content

Atmosphere Creation & Fan Engagement:

Use music to control the energy in the arena, amplify key moments, and create a loud, intimidating home-ice advantage
Understand hockey crowd rhythms—when to energize, when to celebrate, and when to reset

Technical Execution:

Operate all in-game audio equipment and troubleshoot live as needed
Ensure high-quality sound output across all sections of the arena

Preferred Qualifications:

Previous DJ or music production experience at hockey games or fast-paced live sports events
Strong knowledge of hockey rules, timing structures, and game-day flow is highly preferred
Comfortable with live performance under pressure and adjusting quickly to fast game developments
Dependable, punctual, and able to work evenings, weekends, holidays, and all home games
Clear communicator with a team-first attitude
