Over the last day we have seen Jose Gonzalez spend time to try and get back into being a strong player once again. He was picked higher than most people would expect considering how he has been performing and improving over the last month or two. At one point Gonzalez would gain 14 TPE every single week and was even drafted ahead of Alexander Pepper. Now Gonzalez is an afterthought in a trade between Quebec and Davos. This seems of finally motivate him, as he has been not only getting back on track, but even doing whatever he can to improve himself as he once did. Could we be seeing the return to form of what could of become a player that made history, or just a last fight to stay in a league despite once having promise? Who won the trade that put Gonzalez in Davos was it Quebec or Davos? Only time can tell as Gonzalez, at least for now, gets back on track.

I know I have been gone a long time. I am willing to answer any and all questions.

Jose Gonzalez was an extremely exciting prospect when he was first drafted into the VHL. However, soon after he joined the league he stopped growing as a player. He is now a extremely unimportant piece of HC Davos Dynamo. This is a sharp turn from fighting in and out of the top 5 in the VHL draft just 2 seasons ago. If anybody is surprised by this it maybe Jose himself as he was excited to go into the VHL, and even scored himself a job working on the media team. However the media team fell apart and soon after Jose was gone. We have been the first to talk to him since he was drafted, and here are some of the highlights of the interview. Media- So what has happened to cause this lack of development? Jose- I don't know, I have become complacent and simply haven't had time to work on my development. Media- Do you hope to begin developing again soon? Jose- I am planning to develop again. The last month has been absolutely crazy, and I should be able to get back on track. I am scared that I will never be at the level of my draft-mates. Media- Are you happy to have become an extremely unimportant piece in a team? Jose- I don’t think anyone would ever be happy about become an unimportant piece, but I do plan on improving and maybe making the trade that put me here look like the worst trade in VHL history. Media- Has anything changed in you since you have stopped developing, or are you the same fighting spirit that you were when you went quiet? Jose- I would like to imagine that I am the same, but when you stop for so long you may never recover and I am worried that I have forever ruined my career. Media- Is there any event that has motivated you to come back? Jose- No I just finally realized that I have the time to do this, and I am not an important piece in the league anymore. My main goal when I was a kid was to become an important piece in whatever team I ended up in. I guess that goal is over… Media- Do you miss playing in Vegas at all? Jose- Yea of course I miss Vegas, but missing a city does not excuse my failure to do anything over the last few months. Media- Is there anything you hope to do over this next season? Jose- I just want to be looked at as important again. I am extremely upset at myself for letting myself go, and this will be the last time this happens. I mean I was drafted higher than Alexander Pepper. Who would of expected this sharp of a turn right after the biggest moment in any young players career. I certainly didn’t. I guess that might be one of the reasons I am in the situation I am in now I got complacent. Media- Well Jose, good luck getting yourself back on track, and I will hopefully talk to you again soon. Jose- Great being on and I hope to on again.

Jose Gonzalez was drafted by the Quebec City Meute in the S63 VHL draft. We asked him some questions about his next season and his future. Media: Are you happy with who you got selected by? Gonzalez: Well, I am happy to be playing in the VHL, but there are other teams that I would wish to be playing for. Media: Are there any players that you are upset to be leaving in Vegas? Gonzalez: Yea of course, I will miss Pepper, and Borwinn, but I think I will miss the coach the most. Media: In Vegas held multiple camps to help the youth get into hockey. Are you planning on doing that in Quebec. Gonzalez: Yea I am, but I think it will be more difficult since I do not know French, so I will have to learn some french before we get those camps going. Hopefully some of my teammates will help me with that? Media: Who in the VHL has been your biggest influence? Gonzalez: I don't think I can answer that quiet yet. I mean I am still so young and so much of my career is left, get back to me with that question in a few years. Word Count : 203

Jose Gonzalez, during this off-season, has held two training camps in Vegas. Today he announced that the two days before the VHL draft he will be spending his time in Seattle helping the youth improve at the sport. He invited any Seattle and Helsinki player that wants to join in during this camp. This has come after he stated that he wanted to be drafted by Seattle, and if not at least stay in America. "I don't think I have kept it a secret I want to be drafted by Seattle. I just love the West coast and they seem like the most logical answer." Gonzalez announced that he will be in the arena when the draft occurs, but will be in Seattle in the days leading up to the draft. Gonzalez has spent his VHLM year playing for the Las Vegas Aces, who drafted him 27th in the VHLM dispersal draft.

Same here with Gonzalez...

As the draft nears closer, I have been watching the VHL draft predictions more and more. I am currently tied for eighth in the VHL draft rankings. This is a massive improvement considering I was drafted 27th in the VHLM dispersion draft. It is likely that I will be picked by one of three teams. These three teams are the New York Americans, the Seattle Bears, and the Calgary Wranglers. I am going to talk about each of these teams and who I would like to be picked by during the draft. New York Americans The New York Americans finished the S62 season with a record of 25-44-3 in 7th place. They are a rebuilding team with a bright future having 2 first round picks. Growing up in Vegas I always had the west coast Vs. east rivalry in me, and grew up fighting for the west coast. It would be an honor to play for any VHL team, but I would rather play for a team out of the US or on the US west coast. I would rank them number 4 in the teams I would like to be drafted by because they are not competitive right now, and I do not affiliate with their side of the country. Seattle Bears The Seattle Bears were the team I grew up rooting for. They were always the team I wanted to go and win it all. The Bears ended their previous season in 5th place with a record of 36-29-7. They are the team I am hoping to be drafted by because of how bright and how near their future is. I would rank them 1st in the teams I want to be drafted by because I love Seattle; growing up my family would visit Seattle as our vacation spot, and they are going to be competitive very soon. Calgary Wranglers The Calgary Wranglers are currently fighting for the Championship with Quebec city. They have performed well all season and I am picking them to win it all. I would not mind being put into an already successful team, but if I win a cup I want to be a major part of the cup, not just a member of the team. Calgary has never been on my list, but since we are seeing that they are possible to pick me up, I have been watching then a lot. I would rank them number 2 in team I want to go to because of their amazing records over the last season. Riga Reign The Riga Reign are the most unlikely team on this list to pick me up, but there is a chance so I want to talk about the team. I would like to stay on the North American continent. However it would be an honor to be on a team that this likely to win a cup in the next 3 seasons. This would allow me to grow as a player, and be a part of the cup win. I would rank the Reign as number 3 in my list of wanting to be drafted by because of their bright future, and my ability to win a cup soon, but still have the ability to play a role in it.
