Hello folks, how are you today? Me I'm good, I always enjoy writing these Friday HJC posts. If you think you might enjoy writing for HJC too, well you're in luck, as we're currently looking for a new Tuesday writer. Click on the white banner above this post for all the important details.
On Wednesday when Phil was discussing the available writer position, he mentioned it was "an exclusive club being opened up again". That got me thinking, just how exclusive is this club, how many people have written for HJC before? The answer is 21. 21 people have had at least one HJC post attributed to them. Below I've arranged those people from most to least amount of posts written, with links to their first and last posts (because apparently I didn't have anything better to do).
Ryan Haslett, 895 Posts (Nov 2009 - Present)
As the founder of this site and the only regular writer for the first few years, Ryan built up a lead of over 600 posts before other people started writing the weekday posts.
WinnipegJets96, 216 Posts (Aug 2012 - Present)
In second place is WinnipegJets96, who was part of the first group of writers brought on, and has been writing here ever since.
Dylan Alexander, 178 Posts (Aug 2012 - Dec 2015)

Now you have a chance to join this (somewhat) exclusive list. And you can rocket up the list pretty quickly as well, after only a year you'd pass more than half the people. If you're interested, get your application in before noon next Friday.
By the way, how many of these names do you recognize? I've been around for all of them except Glen.
*(I'm pretty sure all this information is accurate, but if I've missed anyone or made another mistake let me know in the comments and I'll fix it).
