CSSC Culture & Testimonial

Overview:

The SSC culture (Calgary and Edmonton offices), is a performance-oriented environment. We place a strong emphasis on hiring exceptional people and giving them all of the support that they need to excel in their roles. New staff are given strong guidance and nurturance, but are encouraged to gain freedom through commitment and results. Employees meet with their manager each week to discuss past goals and to create a plan for success. Ongoing skill development sessions aid in increasing all employees' effectiveness in their roles. We also like to have fun: frequent staff outings, trips, Innovations, Get Active programs, and staff lunches are a few examples of our work hard, play hard mentality.

A note from our former Player Relations Coordinator:

Whether it’s discussing our own leagues and how to improve them or talking about the latest Flames win, I find that I am always chatting sports with colleagues. It’s tough to not have a good day at work when sports are at the forefront.

As this position, you are given the opportunity to join an office full of great people, who all have the same goal in mind: To provide the best sport (and social) experience possible to every Calgarian and Edmontonian we can. We are always looking for ways to make our leagues and events better. Being part of the SSC team is very fulfilling, you will have every opportunity to grow professionally, and make friends along the way. We work hard to provide a quality product to our respective cities, but the Club also takes care of us with great benefits, and flexible holidays.

Some of my favourite aspects of my role within the Club are:

  1. Overseeing the Sportsmanship Program. Being the one in charge of contacting teams and creating positive experiences out of negative ones is something that I look forward to the most when I come into the office every day. Obviously, when teams go above and beyond with positive sportsmanship, being the one that gets to formally reward them for being so phenomenal is a treat!
  2. Stat Research. With so many different leagues and divisions, it can be tough to decide which one to play in. Being able to look back on team’s previous seasons and getting into the numbers is something that I take deep interest in. Being responsible for creating the most evenly skilled divisions across all nights and sports is a challenging, but fascinating task!
  3. Gym Visits, Scouts, and Fixes. Working in the office is great, but sometimes it’s nice to get out and about and go check out a new facility that our club could use for the wide array of sports that we offer, or being able to use my hands and fix equipment is a nice change of pace occasionally!

If you love sports and being able to provide a quality sporting experience to thousands of people every day, then the CSSC will be a good fit for you!
