Review: Overall I think this a great design. I love the background here, it really fits with the colour scheme of the phantoms logo. The reflection of the name is unique design that I don't see enough of to be honest. I think you did a good job with the ratio of player to background while leaving space for the name to pop beside it. Great job overall, there's not really anything I'd recommend changing about this. 10/10

Good Evening and welcome to today’s edition of the All Bull Show on 99.5FM hosted by none other than DJ Mac. Ladies and gentlemen, today we have a special guest joining us - the newest addition to the Houston Bulls, the talented and dynamic Bryce Woodworth! Welcome, Bryce, and congratulations on joining the team! Bryce Woodworth: Thank you so much for having me on the show, I'm thrilled to be here! DJ Mac: We're excited to have you on board! With the playoffs just around the corner, how has the adjustment been for you, transitioning to your new team? Bryce Woodworth: It's been an amazing experience so far. Joining a new team always comes with its challenges, but the guys here have been incredibly supportive, helping me get adjusted to their playing style and systems. The coaching staff has also been fantastic in making sure I understand my role and how I can make an impact on the ice. Even the fans in the streets have been very welcoming. I was surprised that being in such a big city to have fans come up to me already just really shows I made the right choice coming here. DJ Mac: That's great to hear. Speaking of your impact on the ice, what edge do you think you bring to the table that can elevate the Bulls' chances in the playoffs? Bryce Woodworth: I believe my speed and the way I see the ice can be a real game changer for the team. I love creating scoring opportunities, and my goal is to not only put up points myself but also set up my linemates for success. Additionally, I take pride in being responsible in my own end and doing the little things that can make a difference during high-pressure playoff games. DJ Mac: It sounds like you have a well-rounded approach to the game. The playoffs can be intense, and the pressure is always on. How do you prepare mentally for such critical games? Bryce Woodworth: Mental preparation is key. I like to stay focused on the present moment and not get overwhelmed by the bigger picture. Playoff hockey is all about embracing the pressure and using it to fuel my performance. Focusing on just one shift at a time goes a long way. When things aren’t going our way we can’t focus on one bad shift or even a bad period. We have to just take it shift by shift, pass by pass, shot by shot. Just trusting in the systems we have in place and relying on my teammates also helps me stay calm and focused during these intense moments. DJ Mac: That's a great mindset to have. Chemistry is vital in the playoffs. How are you working on building chemistry with your new teammates, both on and off the ice? Bryce Woodworth: Chemistry is critical as well, and it starts with getting to know each other on a personal level. Off the ice, I've been spending time with the guys, grabbing meals together, and just bonding as teammates and friends. On the ice, it's all about communication and understanding each other's tendencies. Practice is essential for building that on-ice chemistry, and we've been working hard with my teammates and coaches to build that chemistry. So far it seems to be working but it’s a process and we’ll just keep improving the more we play together. DJ Mac: It sounds like you're fitting in well with the team. We’re almost out of time here, but before you go, what message would you like to send to the Bulls' fans as you gear up for this deep playoff run? Bryce Woodworth: To the fans, I want to say thank you for the warm welcome. It’s truly an honour to be a part of such an incredible organisation, and I promise to give my all on the ice. Your energy every night that you guys’ bring fuels our game. We're going to be fighting hard every game to bring a championship back here to Houston. Get loud and let's make this playoff run one to remember! DJ Mac: Thank you, Bryce, for your time here with us today. We can't wait to see you in action during the playoffs and witness the impact you'll make on the ice! Bryce Woodworth: My pleasure! Thank you for having me, and go Bulls! That’s unfortunately all the time we have for today in today’s edition of the All Bull Show. Tickets for game 1 to see your Bulls in the playoffs go on sale this Tuesday at 11am Central. You won’t want to miss this incredible team as they push to bring a Cup back here to Houston. Tune in next time on 99.5FM. Now here’s a word from our sponsors.

Alec Volchenkov has always been a defensive player his whole career. Now he’s decided to make the change in his last season to become a Defenseman.

1. Working at a golf course I’m just starting back at work again. When it’s a little warmer I’ll probably go kayaking. 2. A couple years ago I went to Argentina. The food there was amazing and cheap too. You could get a full steak meal at a restaurant for $9 Canadian. They have some beautiful beaches and rolling dunes. It was pretty cool taking 4 wheelers out on them. 3. It’s getting warmer now. Consistently between like 10-16°C everyday. Where I live it’s seems like it’s almost always sunny 4. Standings wise I have no idea but I’m still hopeful for the cup. We haven’t been as dominate as I thought we would but we are a good team none the less. 5. Yeah, I believe I’ve been on second line this season and I’m still about a point per game. Not sure why I’m a -7 but other than that I’m happy. 6. I only know a few words in French, Spanish, and German.

We tried building a defensive dynamo and we arguably had one of the best defensive rosters in the league a couple seasons ago. Trying a different approach now hoping this works out better. Great article! Keep it up!

Sad to see you tear it up against your former team @tinafrombobsburgers Great performance though!

1. Everyone knows their role and we need to play it. You just have to take it one game at a time all season long. It’s easy to get lost in the numbers or expectations but if you set that aside and play your best each night, we’ll do just fine. 2. I’ve just always disliked Malmo so I’ll go with them. 3. I don’t think I really have one to be honest. 4. A bit of both. Depends on how I’m feeling that night but the spotlight isn’t too bad. As a playmaker I’m usually cheering on the goal scorer. 5. I tend not to carry much cash with me. I think I got maybe $100 or something at most. 6. Money City Maniacs always gets me hyped. Could just be from seeing the Mooseheads come onto the ice though.

With the final pick of the group, from the Helsinki Titans G - Zamboni Driver @Doomsday and that’s a wrap folks

1. I’m not sure who I’ll be linemates with yet but I’m looking forward to learning from an all-star like Lahtinen. His game is exactly what I try to model mine after. It’s gonna be fun. 2. Right now I’m just trying to work hard and keep growing my entire game. There’s no one thing I’m too focused on right now. 3. Stick to the plan. It’ll payoff, just gotta keep working. 4. Unbiased opinion Blue and Red or Black and Yellow go really well together. I think it’s really just any colour combination that contrasts well with each other. 5. Task failed successfully. 6. You know, it’s whack. It’s messed up. It’s no good. But honestly who knows? It’s just one of those things people say

This is the way We had a pretty stacked team if I do say so myself. Great job @Doomsdayfor bringing everyone together. Atta be Mercs!

Im in. I can be a group manager as well

1. Basically whenever I get enough TPE. At some point soon I need to start banking for regression though. 2. I feel like a wolf is actually fitting. He’s loyal to the pack, is intelligent, the entire group respects him, etc. 3. I’d have to go with real life. The atmosphere of just seeing a playoff hockey game is unreal. Also the excitement of winning is like no other. 4. I’m not really a betting person so not personally no. 5. “That’s a ridiculous question.” “False. Black Bear” ”Well that’s debatable, there’s basically two schools of thought.” 6. Mackenzie Blackwood has surprisingly good numbers considering he plays for New Jersey.

1. I’ve been loosely following it. When I saw the semis I was hoping for a Bucs, Chiefs matchup. Now that actually happened so I’ll probably watch the Super Bowl. As a Patriots fan I’d like to see Tom Brady win but I also like Kansas City so either team is good to win for me. 2. My two favourite sports are Hockey and Golf so if I had to pick one it would be Golf. Could be kind of interesting actually to have a golf sim league. 3. Lately not much. In the past I would spend a couple days every other week doing stuff. Now I mostly just check in for the scores and see what’s up in the discord LR. 4. Helsinki has beat us a couple times this season so I’d like to change that. 5. It would have to be a decent amount. I care more about the interactions with people and the enjoyment of the league than money. That’s more applicable to just my general outlook on life though, rather than specifically the VHL. 6. That might be a lot but I probably would attend that. It would be kind of cool to at least do a team Meet & Greet or something.

I’m incredibly honoured to be named Assistant Captain. It’s not about the letter though, I just love being part of this organization and look forward to many more seasons with all of you. Let’s go do this thing boys!! This is our year!

Appreciate the graphic man. Great job
