1. Games start soon! What are you most excited for? I'm ready to start putting points on the board! 2. Who are you rooting for in the VHL? I'll be rooting for the Helsinki Titans who just drafted me. Go future teammates! 3. How has the offseason treated you? Are you settling in well? I'm so ready to go, just really anxious for the season to start already. 4. How is the team getting along in the early practices? Is there early chemistry? I have a feeling that we are going to get a lot of points out of our lines, I'm super exited to get on the ice with my new line mates. 5. What's your go-to diet on gameday? Rigatoni in meat sauce for those pre-game carbs. 6. With the VHL draft happening last week, are you excited to move up in the next coming seasons? Where do you see yourself in 2 seasons from now? I don't know a lot about the team that drafted me, but I'm hoping I can break into the top 6 forwards.

1. What do you look forward to in this upcoming VHLM season? I look forward to continuing on my path to become an elite point scorer and help lead the Aces to another cup. 2. Do you think the Aces have a shot at defending the cup? Why/Why not? I think we have the skill to retain the cup with the players we have. 3. How do you think your player will play this season? What do you hope to accomplish in the minors? I've been steadily improving my abilities over the last few months, an I'm hoping to really let loose this season. 4. Who do you think drafted the best, and why? It looked pretty even to me, big names got spread out. 5. What new expansion or relocated team are you most excited to face this year? Philadelphia, Houston, or Minnesota? and why? I'm excited to go and beat my old team, the now Minnesota Storm, show them what they're missing. 6. What are your first thoughts on being in Vegas? Do you like it here? Share some of your excitement! I haven't really met or talked to anyone yet, so I'm hoping to make a good first impression at least. It will be fun trying to help defend the cup.

1) Team is moving to Minnesota next season. What are your thoughts on the move? I don't really have much of an opinion on the move itself, but I will say that i think "Oslo Storm" sounds cooler than "Minnesota Storm" 2) Playoffs are right around the corner. What are your expectations for the Storm? I expect us to at least beat Saskatoon. After that we play Vegas which will be an uphill battle for sure but I think we can give them a run for their money. 3) Oslo were a very poor team earlier, but has since looked pretty okay and their stock seem to be on the rise. Why is that? I got here during the end of the rough start. I was told one of our best guys got banned form the league and another just stopped showing up altogether. That can be rough on morale as well. Recently though, we've been steadily rebuilding the team, starting with a new GM and trading away some of our better guys for some new prospects. The new guys have really brought the team to a new level. i think we got some much needed team chemistry going now. 4) A lot of new faces have made their way into the Oslo Storm locker room. This usually brings problems into the LR, is that true? Well, most of our senior members were traded so a lot of us got here around the same time. I feel like that's helped us come together as a team, knowing were all in the same boat. 5) What are your specific expectations for your draft (S65 VHL Draft or S65 VHLM Dispersal Draft), where do you wish to land? I try not to think about that kind of thing. I know its important but thinking about it will just throw me off my game. I just want to work hard and do my best. If I'm as good as I think I am, I should be proud of my placing. 6) Final question: Prediction for the best-of-3 series against Saskatoon? 2-0 Oslo. Sas don't stand a chance against us right now.

1) The VHLM has officially announced expansion, with the new teams seeing action as early as next season! What are your thoughts on the teams they unveiled, or expansion as a whole? I think this is great for the league. More variety in teams and players can only be good that this time. 2) If you were the GM for a new expansion team, what would be the first order of business? Find some good young prospects to build around 3) Four teams have now clinched, and two are fighting for the last available playoff spot. Who takes it, Saskatoon or Yukon? I dont think Yukon can catch Saskatoon. 4) Which VHL team has the best logo/design to you? Why? I like the Davos Dynamo color scheme. You dont see a lot of purple in sports teams. 5) When you leave the VHLM to play in the VHL, what legacy do you think you'll leave behind? How will you be remembered for your time in the minors? I want to be know as the guy you can depend on to come through in clutch situations. 6) You're eligible for some free TPE if you recruit a friend and they end up sticking around; how would you pitch the VHL to an interested friend? I'd tell the about my experience. For me the hockey element is what got me interested initially, but the community is what keeps me interested. That and making updates to my play to mold him into the best he can be.

1) The World Junior Championship is finally underway; who do you think wins it all and why? I feel like Europe has the best players at the moment. 2) With VHLM playoffs right around the corner, where do you see your team ending up when its all said and done? At this rate, Oslo isn't winning any titles this season. There is a gap in the standings for a reason. 3) How do you feel about your own personal performance thus far? Do you need to step it up, or stay consistent with what you have? My scoring has been incredibly inconsistent, even when the rest of the team does well and I’d like to fix that. 4) What team do you think will be the biggest surprise in the last portion of this season? I think that with the new additions to their roster, Ottawa will be a force to be reckoned with come playoff time. 5) Where do you see yourself at this point next season? What do you hope to have accomplished by then? My goal for next season is to be on top of the leader board for scoring and contending for the cup. 6) What do you like most about the VHL? What keeps you around? The community is so friendly and helpful. I also just love hockey and this is a fun way to express that.
