Presser - You've just been eliminated from the playoffs. What now?
Archie - I'm gonna go work harder, get bigger, faster, stronger, and better. There is a lot of spots in my game I need to work on. I am no where near where I need or want to be. I have a bunch of holes in my game, but I know I will get better eventually. It was a pleasure playing in Ottawa. I love all the guys here, but I knew this time would come. We are all going to go our separate ways, and I wish everyone best of luck. Maybe I'll get picked by Ottawa in the VHLM draft.
P - Speaking of the VHLM draft, who do you hope you are chosen by?
A - It doesn't make a lot of difference to me, since I hope I am only there for a short time. The rules state once you go over 175 practice hours you will have to be promoted to the big leagues, and I should be at that point by the end of next year. If I had to choose where I get picked I would hope to get drafted by the Ottawa lynk. I have built a relationship with some of the people here, and I hope I get to continue that next year, or sometime down the road.
P - Who do you hope drafts you in the VHL entry draft?
A - Once again it doesn't make a whole lot of difference for me. I just want to get picked, and start playing up there. I haven't really gotten a chance to talk to any of the VHL GM's, and I am sure they are all great. I know Jala from the SBA, so if I got picked by his team I would be pretty happy, but like I said it doesn't make a huge difference to who picks me or where I go.
P - What round do you think you should be picked in?
A - I think I am a first round talent. I was pretty late to the show because I have played basketball for most of my life. I'm not quite as talented as some of the other first round players, but I have the potential. I will get their someday, and I hope it is sooner rather than later.
