1.) What type of player do you envision yourself becoming? (Offensive? Defensive? Scorer? Enforcer?) 2.) Are you excited to be a part of the Wild, or was there another team you would have preferred? 3.) Do you think Saskatoon can win the championship this season? 4.) What is Hadz's dining of choice?

1.) How does it feel to be a VHLM champion? 2.) After Yukon's roster was gutted from the VHL draft and VHLM dispersal draft, do you think you guys have enough talent to repeat? 3.) Who will you miss most from last season's roster?

I did a Yahoo Fantasy Hockey league like 15 years ago. 20 teams, I knew basically nothing and just had it autodraft, and since it was right after the lockout, the rankings were all over the place and my first pick was retired. But I ended up with Luongo as my goalie and he basically was the best by a mile and a half and carried my team. Won the whole thing still with little clue what I was doing and decided to retire from fantasy hockey on top. This is all an off-topic and long winded way of saying I will pass but good luck to all who join.

3-0 with 10 minutes to go and then the choke. We celebrated too soon guys.

Interview with Oyorra Arroyo Your Yukon Rush are on the precipice of winning the Founder's Cup. Tell me what this experience is like for you. Well you never want to count your chickens before they hatch. Las Vegas has shown us that they can win a game, so we have to continue to play our game to make sure we close out the series. These playoffs have been a lot of fun for me, and the prospects of being champions so early in my career is incredible. Currently you're 4th in the team despite being just 8th in minutes played. Are you upset that your playing time took a little hit in the playoffs? Not at all. This is a team sport and everyone needs to work together for the betterment of the team. It's been a joy watching Veran and Veris play, and I feel like I'm learning a lot from both of them in the process. Even a guy like Josh who might not be the most talented but is a great vocal guy who really has a knack for leadership. Talent can only take you so far, you need glue guys like Josh to really pull together a truly cohesive unit. Looking ahead to the VHL Draft, have you given much thought on what team you'd like to play for? The draft can wait; we have a championship to win! Any team that feels like I will be a big asset is a team I'm ready to play for, but I really have not had the time to sit down and research where I think I'd be the best fit.

Clearly my rally was not helpful.

Dang we were losing for almost a minute that game. We gotta do better.

Stronk on board!

We got next.

Closer than I would have liked, but Veran came up big again.

When did I become the hit master?

1.) Which team do you want to play for this coming season? 2.) What do you believe is the most important factor that a good goalie needs to have? 3.) If you were forced to eat just one kind of food for the rest of your life, what would it be?

1.) I was hoping to get to 72 to maintain the point per game mark, but I'm not too far off. Winning is more important than individual stats. 2.) I think any time you win 34 in a row, there's a bit of luck involved, but I don't think we will take another loss this season. 3.) A lot of focus is often brought to our scoring and the skaters on the ice, but our backbone is our goalie Tristan Iseult, and we wouldn't be where we are without him. I'd also keep an eye on Billy Pilgrim. He gets overlooked a bit with the other stars on the team, but make no mistake he's a star in his own right too.

It's playoffs time! Before the season you had told me we would end the season on a 34 game winning streak, I would have laughed in your face, but here we are. It feels amazing to be on such a great, well-rounded team, and I believe we will have no issue in securing a cup for Yukon. We have 14 straight games of scoring at least 4 goals and 21 straight in allowing less than 4 goals. We've been completely dominant on both sides of the ice. On a personal level, I think I did alright for my first true season of ice hockey. I would have liked to reach a 1 point per game average, but 58 total isn't bad, and I'll take winning over personal achievements any day of the week. I do think my shot wasn't very great this season. Netting only 8.43% as a forward is not a recipe for long-term success, so I hope to improve upon that next season. I must say I am a bit surprised at how much more physical the game was than I expected. If I can deliver more hits than I take, then I feel like I am adapting well. We'll be losing some key talent next season to the VHL but I'm ready to take my game to the next level and lead this franchise to perpetual greatness!
