NextGen Photographer Program- Chicago Wolves

The Chicago Wolves’ NextGen Photographer program provides a unique opportunity for promising high school and college photojournalists to gain valuable experience in the field by attending and capturing images of an American Hockey League game as a credentialed member of the media.

The students’ skills will be enriched as they will have access to learn from and work alongside the Wolves’ award-winning Team Photographer, Ross Dettman, if he is available, as well as Wolves Creative Director, Imran Javed.

Students will also have the opportunity to share their photos with the possibility that the images will be featured on the Chicago Wolves website and Social Media platforms.

The Wolves will select interested photographers throughout the season based on availability; selected photographers will be required to follow Wolves Public Relations Department guidelines, including arrival times, access restrictions and dress code.

*The program is all filled for the 2025-26 season but please check back next season to apply!
