1. Who do you think the Wild should draft in the first round? Jan, that guy is an absolute monster 2. Are you in any of the offseason events? (Pro-Am, World Juniors, etc.) Pro-Am and World Juniors, blessed to be in both 3. Which VHL club has the best logo, in your opinion? The Saksatoon Wild, clearly obvious choice to me. 4. Will you tune in to the VHL draft livestream? Unfortunately I have prior committments 5. What skills are you going to work on this offseason? All because I am being moved up to the VHL. 6. Have you been vaccinated yet? No as I am not high enough on the priority list in Canada

I am interested.

1. How has your offseason gone so far? - Good, made the move over to Prague 2. How are you preparing for the upcoming VHL/VHLM drafts, have teams been talking with you? - I'm not draft eligible as I've already been drafted. But I remember that my draft process was rather boring, only 2 teams reached out and it was clear that one team just sent a spam message to everyone and the other team actually took an interest in me. 3. Do you have any preference where you could be drafted? - Everyone from Saskatoon should come to Prague 4. What are you hoping to achieve next season? - Lead VHL rookies in Hits 5. What is your favourite exercise that gets you ready for the new season? - Just dance on the nintendo switch 6. Where would your ideal location be for an off-season holiday? - Anywhere that doesn't have a ton of snow.

Just like that, as quickly as this season has come and gone. Braxton Hunter's hopes of playing in the VHL playoffs with the Prague Phantoms were dashed when upon arrival in Prague Hunter tested positive for COVID-19. "I was in shock, I did my best to stay socially distant and not go to any get togethers or even be around my family before I left to come here." Hunter told us over the phone while isolating in a hotel in Prague. " From hearing back home it was one of the employees at the hotel I was self-isolating at before coming here. Super unfortunate and super frustrating that I can't even be with my teammates, I'm just all alone in a hotel room 5000 miles away from home. But hey, at least my view and the food is unreal here." What a way for Hunter's season to end, upon further investigation it was confirmed that one of the employees from the hotel in Saskatoon where Hunter was self-isolating before coming to Prague had an outbreak among the employees that was not told to any of the guests at the hotel or the general public. That business has since been fined and closed for a cleaning and sanitizing, we reached out to the business for a comment but our emails and phone calls were never returned. When asked about his experience in Prague so far, Hunter had this to say; "Honestly, the hospitality here is unreal. Some of my teammates have dropped off some things from the team for me already, they've delivered me some local cuisine. So far I'm really enjoying Prague, the staff at this hotel has been incredibly welcoming and have made my 'quarantine' enjoyable." As for the Phantoms, they were eliminated in the VHL playoffs and Hunter was unable to be cleared in time to play a single game. Since the offseason has started it looks as though Hunter is going to be staying in Prague for the forseeable future as he plans to spend his offseason with the Phantoms; "I'm already here, so why wouldn't I stay and start to get involved with the offseason program here? Just makes sense to me, I've already been stuck in this hotel room for a long time already. Once I'm cleared one of the first places I'm going is the facility to get everything figured out and start getting to work. I want to win a championship here." Some bold words from Hunter, shortly after our interview with the newest member of the Phantoms he was cleared to start offseason activities and was cleared of COVID-19 after 6 negative tests that spanned 2 weeks. The Phantoms already gave us word that Hunter was one of the first guys to report to the offseason program and has been consistently in the gym or in the medical facilities getting treatment. It is looking as though this offseason will be one of Hunter's best as an anonymous source from the organization told us: " Hunter always comes in with a smile on his face and says hi to everyone and tells them to have a great day, doesn't matter who they are. The security guard, the scouts, the coaching staff, heck even the janitors who clean the locker rooms and gym facilities. I wouldn't be surprised if Braxton could tell you their names and something about them. He is always the first guy to arrive here around 4:30am, he gets here before the coaches and the coaches have to kick him out to go back to his hotel. The guy lives here, he doesn't leave unless he's forced to." With that coming from our anonymous source from the team it is looking as Hunter has already made a good first impression with the Phantoms, what remains to be seen is how effective Hunter will be in his first VHL season and whether or not he can make an immediate impact in the big leagues. From the Prague Post, this is Ondrej Svoboda.

Not much to criticize about this article. Incredibly well written about an amazing topic and team. I really enjoyed the content, the only thing I would change is making the quotes "italicized" to break up the chunks of texts and make the quotes stand out more, using the same newspaper and referencing multiple players on the roster added a ton of depth that you don't see in many articles. To me it was a near perfect article! Review: 9.9/10 (because there's always room for improvement)

1. Where do you think you'll play next season? If you're getting drafted in the VHL, have any preference for what team selects you? - Prague, unless they trade me 2. Although we didn't make playoffs, what's one good thing that happened to you this season? - The new additions to the roster, made it easy for me to be a captain. 3. Since we're done, are there any other teams you're rooting for? - Not really, more concerned with going up to the VHL 4. Who do you think will win the Founder's Cup this season? (VHLM) - Houston, they're a powerhouse 5. Do you pay much attention to the offseason tournaments? World Juniors, etc. - Not unless I'm playing in them 6. Have you ever visited Saskatoon/Saskatchewan? If so, why? - I have not, but I know people from there.
