Jordan Eberle: Dangle Exclusive
Way-back playback! Here’s a webcam interview I did with Jordan Eberle from May 2009. By then he had still yet to play in his first NHL game, but was already a national hero for his famous 5.4 goal against Russia at the 2009 World Juniors.
Since then, Eberle has emerged into one of the NHL’s deadliest scorers. I also like to think that I have changed since this interview, because BOY am I a huge dork in this.

I am really inspired by your work, I am trying to do something as you have been doing. It is my dream to go into journalism, but the fact is, I am not very knowing on how to start somewhere. Doing interviews with players of that magnitude is quite incredible. Do you have any advice for me to start a career in journalism? If you could give me some advice, it would really help me out and I would deeply appreciate it.
Thank you very much
Well I always highly recommend getting an internship. You learn on the job, you;re around the industry, you make contracts, and it leads to more things as you continue to learn.
how do u get to arrange something like this?
I had his number from producing a junior hockey radio show when I was 19. I asked if he’d be down to try it and he said sure. Awesome dude, that Mr. Eberle!
