1. We've announced our captains for the season! dylan in particular stands out as he demanded a letter (and also because he's only captain by default since we can't make a goalie a formal captain.) But what do you think about our choices? As a remind, we have me serving as captain, samuel and kobe serving as alternates, and not real captain representing Kobe on the ice. i like captain group because i am captain therefore captain group is good 2. We're 1-0-1 after the first sim, a pretty fine but mediocre record. What are your expectations for this season? playoffs or bust. we're good enough and we're strong enough 3. Dylan has displayed an unusual and slightly disturbing fascination with canned beans, what do you think about that? dylan's just a very peculiar individual 4. Baldur Poulsen was notable during Mexico City's cup run last season for his loud Faroese chanting before every game, what kind of music does your player listen to as a good luck charm for games? british music or more specifically bri'ish music 5. Uh oh! Rory forgot to give you line assignments, and now you get to pick! If you could choose, who on the team would you share the most ice time with? i would share the most ice time with me because #1 dman is #1 dman 6. Our new captain has insisted that we're going to win the cup, do you think that's feasible for this roster? Do you think we should improve? YES WE ARE GOING TO WIN THE CUP 7. What has your player been doing to enjoy life in Halifax and really take in the experience of being on the 21st? i'm the talk of the town baby (captain and #1 dman) so i walk around like i own the place. swag 4 dayz.

We filled some holes in the draft and some in free agency, but is there anything you think we obviously missed? no i do not, i think we have filled all of the holes 5.

What are you hoping we get out of the draft? honestly good players because i would like to not lose a lot this season 2. Rory's given you the option of deciding where team training camp will be held, the only caveat he's given you is that it has to be on a coast, anywhere in the world, where do you pick? i would pick the beautiful, scenic british city of stoke 3.

1. Our season sadly ended earlier than we would have liked, what will your player be focusing on improving in the offseason? the more offensive aspect of my game; i feel my defensive game is strong but i can work more of my offensive game 2. Following up on that, how does your player feel about their performance, and the performance of the team, this last season? well i was doing pretty good on mexico city and my numbers definitely took a hit once i was traded here but it wasn't as bad of a drop as i thought it would be 3. If Rory offered to allow the team to spend their training camp on a boat off the coast of Halifax, would you do it? no, i don't like boats 4. Everyone asks about the pre-game routine, but what about your player's post game routine? Does it change with a loss, or does it stay consistent through wins and losses? i consistently answer press questions then shower and go home 5. The 21st has seen a few management changes lately, first with Rory coming as GM, and now with dren stepping down as AGM, and me filling her spot. How are you feeling about the team's direction and the people leading it? honestly i don't even know if i'll be on the team next season nor am i really invested so i can't really answer 6. If there was one NHL player, all time, your player could meet, who would it be and why? probably brett hull because i heard he's a fun guy, especially when drunk 7. How do you feel about the recent political revolution Emi has been leading in the Halifax Discord? Who's side are you on? i'm barely even in it so i really don't fucking care

How do you relax and get rid of stress after a long day? I like listening to music; it calms me down and destresses me. 3. Which team has impressed you the most in the VHLM this season? I think it's gotta be us for keeping Houston within reach. 4. You have been approached by a company to do a sponsorship deal. What is the ideal company that you would want to sponsor you?

If you could have a personal goal song, which song would it be? Not really a music guy so none. 4. Who do you think our biggest rival is this season? Houston due to proximity and my personal dislike of them. To one-up them would be very good. 5.

Houston hasn't even lost a game yet, what can we do to possibly be the first to hand them an L? Let me hit every single player on their team. I want blood against those guys. 3. Have you been living up to your pre-season expectations so far? I guess? I want to be a defensive defenseman and it looks like I'm filling that role well. 4. Building on that, what have you identified as a key area you need to improve on? Probably my goalscoring but that's not really a big thing. 5. What's your favourite fast food for when you just need a quick meal? A cheeky Nando's is always good. 6. What should we hand out after each game to acknowledge the "Player of the Game"? Perhaps a poncho? I like the poncho idea a lot actually. Sure, why not?
