    In this article, I'll be talking about the Houston Bulls season so far and what I think they can do to help turn around their season. I'll start by talking about their team stats, then the player stats, what I think needs to happen, then I got an interview with LW Koda Adok, and lastly the conclusion. All of the information was gathered May thirteenth at about noon.
     
     
    Team Statistics 
     
    The Houston Bulls came into the season with new draftees Boris the Forest, Koda Adok, Nicklause Becker, Finn Theismann, and Londortharl, as well as bringing back Fylo Gibbles and Milan Griffin, and so far in the season, they’ve also signed Leon Law, Tanner Andrew, and Zeno Miniti. On paper, it looks like a solid team that can make a splash in the league, alas, as I am writing this article, the Bulls sit at 0-6-3 with three points and are in tenth place, with the Yukon Rush being the only team behind them at two points. Their goals for is currently tied for third to last with the Las Vegas Aces at twenty-one goals scored, and their goals allowed is at 38, second to last, only behind the Las Vegas Aces who are at thirty-nine, which sets the Houston Bulls to a -17 goal differential, behind the Las Vegas Aces and Yukon Rush who are at -18.
     
     
    Player Statistics
     
    Center Boris the Forest
    Boris the Forest leads the team in points with fourteen after scoring five goals and getting nine assists. He currently has a +/- of two, thirty-seven shots, two penalty minutes, nine hits, and seven blocked shots.
    Defenseman Fylo Gibbles
    Fylo Gibbles is tied for second in points with twelve after scoring six goals and getting six assists. He currently has a +/- of two, thirty-seven shots, eighteen penalty minutes, twenty-two hits, and nineteen blocked shots.
    Left Winger Milan Griffin
    Milan Griffin is the other person with twelve points after scoring seven goals and getting five assists. He currently has a +/- of minus eight, forty-two shots, twenty-two penalty minutes, forty-one hits, and eight blocked shots.
    Defenseman Finn Theismann
    Finn Theismann is currently in fourth place points wise with seven points after scoring one goal and getting seven assists. He currently has a +/- of one, eight shots, eight penalty minutes, thirteen hits, and twelve blocked shots.
    Left Winger Koda Adok
    Koda Adok is tied for fifth in points with three points with no goals but three assists. He has a +/- of two, eleven shots, two penalty minutes, ten hits, and one blocked shot.
    Center Zeno Miniti
    Zeno Miniti is the other person tied for fifth in points having three points after also scoring no goals and getting three assists. He currently has a +/- of minus eight, fifteen shots, two penalty minutes, six hits, and three blocked shots.
    Defenseman Londortharl
    Londortharl currently has two points off of no goals but two assists. He currently has a +/- of minus sixteen, seven shots, sixteen penalty minutes, twenty-five hits, and twenty-eight blocked shots.
    Center Tanner Andrew
    Tanner Andrew is tied for eight in points by actual players with one point off of one assist. He currently has a +/- of minus ten, ten shots, two penalty minutes, four hits, and three blocked shots.
    Right Winger Leon Law
    Leon Law is the other person tied for eighth in points with a goal. He currently has a +/- of minus one, ten shots, two penalty minutes, eight hits, and one blocked shot.
    Goalie Nicklaus Becker
    Last but not least is goalie Nickleaus Bekcer. He has the same record as the team at 0-6-3, 85.2 save percentage, has faced 244 shots, has allowed 36 goals, has a 4.13 goals against average, has a 66.7 penalty shot save percentage off of three penalty shots faced, and has two assists.
     
    What’s Wrong With The Team?
    This team is filled with new faces who aren’t used to playing on the ice with each other so the team chemistry definitely needs work still, not to mention the goalie is not active so the team is at a big disadvantage without him upgrading himself. I believe if the team works on their chemistry and upgrades their goalie position with an active goalie, they can turn themselves around. The big question regarding that is how long will it take? It can happen quickly if they are able to trade for a goalie and possibly another good defenseman as they only have three actual defensemen on their team, or it can take another season if they decide to wait for next season to get a new goalie. Another thing I think they can get that will propel them even further is another great scorer. They have three players over five goals scored right now, but if they could add another great scorer to add more depth, it could help have a great scorer, or two if some of the other players currently on the team start scoring a lot of goals, on every line.
     
    Interview With LW Koda Adok
    Interviewer: Hello Koda, how are you doing?
    Koda: I’m good, how are you?
    I’m good thanks, now the team is currently struggling as they are 0-6-3, do you think the team can turn it around?
    Of course we can, we have many great players, and if we can all get on the same page, I do believe we can start winning.
    Now you haven’t scored a goal yet but you do have three assists. Do you think you should change your playstyle and take more shots to try to score?
    No, I’ve grown in this game by being a pass first player. I do shoot the puck if I see an opening, but I focus more on looking for the open man and don’t like taking shots I don’t think will go in the back of the net or shots I think the goalie has an easy chance at saving.
    You’ve played nine games so far and have been in Houston for a little bit now, what do you think of the area?
    It’s a great area, I love the city and all the fans around the area. I’ve gotten to go out with some friends and it was a lot of fun.
    Lastly, what do you think of your teammates?
    I think they’re all very skilled players who are willing to put it all on the line for the team.
    Thanks for the interview Koda.
     
    Conclusion
    My conclusion with this is that I do think the Houston Bulls can turn themselves around with a few good pieces, but right now, they need to focus on developing the players they have now. If they can keep the players they have and turn them into well rounded players and get a better goalie, then they might not need another great goal scorer like I had said before, although the extra defender could still help them out.

    trevmi got a reaction from Walter Fizz in Koda Adok Rookie Profile [1/2]   
    Player: Koda Adok
    Age: 19
    Position: Left Wing
    Height: 73 inches
    Weight: 189 pounds
    Hometown: Tampa, Florida
     

     
    Conversation With Agent:
    *Koda's Agent* "Alright Koda, I need you to write a rookie profile about yourself."
    *Koda* "Well what should it include?"
    "Well it has to be 500 words, include some pros and cons about your game, and we might as well put in what scouts are saying as well."
    "500 words!?! How am I supposed to do that?"
    "A lot of fluff"
    "Shit, I suck at writing fluff around the information. I'll just include this conversation instead."
     
    Player Pros:
    1. Passing
    Koda is a great passer who loves to pass to his teammates. He loves making passes through tight windows to a teammate and passes to the players who have a good shot on goal. He is known to get a lot of assists throughout the season.
    2. Skating
    Koda is a great skater. He can make moves so sexy that the commentators will watch it and not even know what happened until they watch the replay. Koda can make people fall on their face with his moves.
    "Ok, I think one more pro and then we can move on to the cons.
    3. Shots
    Koda is great with his shots. He loves to take at least three shots of vodka before every game so he doesn't embarrass the other team too much.
    "Um, Koda, I think they meant only pros while you were on the ice."
    "Oh, well scratch that last pro, I'm good at hockey, that's my third pro."
    3. Hockey
    Koda is good at hockey, he likes the skating and the shooting and the hitting and the scoring and the passing and the defending and...
    "Koda, that's not a good third pro, and it's a run-on sentence."
    "Well shit, what should I put instead?"
    "Well you're good at defending"
    "You're right! I'll put that!"
    With Koda being a pass first player, he might not take the shot that is there and instead pass the puck to a teammate. 
    2. Not The Brightest Person
    Koda's a little bit slower than other people, as you likely saw through the writing of the pros. I went through and did some spellcheck and grammar check on them, but once it got to the third one, I just left it.
    3. Poke Checks
    Koda loves poke checks a lot. Sometimes too much as the stick will get caught in the opposing player's skates causing them to trip, thus giving Koda a two minute minor penalty for tripping.
     
    What Scouts Are Saying:
    "Koda is a great hockey player, but he definitely isn't the brightest player off the ice, his grit and determination makes up for it though."
    -Anonymous Scout
    "It was a lot of fun watching Koda play on the ice. He is able to get the puck to players with passes I didn't think would be possible, and made moves while skating that almost made me fall on my ass. The interview with him was, er, interesting to say the least. He's got great hockey IQ though."

Well hockey wasn't always my dream, but let's start at the beginning with my early childhood.
     
    Early Childhood
    Koda was born June 27th to his parents Mato and Tala, two Native Americans. Koda was the oldest of four children, his brothers being Micco, Kohana, and Paco. Koda's upbringing was different than most as he was raised Native American, so he learned how to hunt and farm from an early age, but he and his brothers would be separated from his parents after a fire broke out at their house when Koda was eight years old. Koda remembers waking up sometime late in the night smelling smoke. He jolted out of bed and ran to his parents room to try to wake them, but the fire was blocking his way to their room, so Koda ran to his brothers and woke them all and they ran out of the house and watched as their house burned the ground with their parents inside and they were then taken into foster care and away from the life they knew. Koda was upset, wondering if he could have done something more to help his parents.
     
    Well now that I've got you crying from my traumatic childhood, let's see what happened afterwards. Will I ever get over my parent's death? Do you know how the fire started? Can you not interrupt the story? The answer to all of those questions is no, but let's go ahead to my teenage years before I start rambling.
     
    Teenage Years
    When Koda turned eleven years old, he started middle school and was away from his brothers as they were still in elementary school. Koda had trouble making friends and was struggling in school, so his foster parents threatened to move him to a stricter school if he didn't get his act together. Koda thought of running away or just letting them move him to the stricter school, but realized both of those options would take him further away from his brothers. He ended up just buckling down and start applying himself more in school, which included getting a tutor from his class named Sarah. After a few tutoring lessons, Koda started to become fond of Sarah and she felt the same way about him, so they started dating, and one date they went on was to a skating rink in town. Sarah had been before and was good at skating, but this was Koda's first time even seeing ice, so he felt unsure about the whole ordeal. Once he got on the ice and got used to it after falling a few times, Koda realized he really enjoyed it. After a few laps around the rink, he started to pick up speed and skating ability and was zooming past almost everyone, and Koda found out he loved skating. Once he got back home from the date, he was already begging his foster parents to let him go again the next week. They agreed and took the whole family to the skating rink, and Koda showed his brothers how to skate, and they realized they enjoyed it too. The whole time, Koda and the family kept hearing what sounded like whistles and cheering in another part of the building. Once the family finished skating, they walked over to see what was going on. They saw a bunch of men in different colored jerseys skating around with sticks trying to get a black circle on the ice into the net. The family's foster parents told the Adok family that what they were watching was hockey, and Koda fell in love with it. He asked if he could play, and the foster parents were hesitant, but agreed that if he finished the school year with at least a B- in every school subject. Koda told Sarah about what his foster parents had said and they agreed to work extra hard over the next few weeks. Koda finished out the year with every subject being at least a B so his foster parents were very proud and agreed to let him play hockey. When Koda first started to play, he found it difficult to keep up, but after a lot of work, he was able to do better than everyone else in the league. Once he got to high school, he started playing in travel leagues, where he would travel all across Florida and sometimes up to Georgia and Alabama to play other teams. Koda's team was able to win the state championship during Koda's sophomore year of high school, and traveled to Atlanta, Ga. to play in a larger tournament. During the tournament, the team looked fantastic, beating teams with scores that looked like a low scoring football game rather than a hockey game, with scores such as 10-0, 13-2, and the biggest win being against a team from South Carolina where they won 17-3. During the final game of the tournament, they played a much tougher team from Tennessee where they were tied with five seconds left. Koda had the puck and passed it across the ice to his teammate who scored the game winning goal with no time left on the clock. Koda couldn't think of a time he had been happier than that moment.
    After that, they were invited to play in a nationwide tournament, where they would play the best teams from across the United States. Their first match was against a team from New England. They were a really good team and the match was much closer than any other game I played in the earlier tournament. We were actually losing this game 3-4 with seven minutes left when one of their players got away with a dirty tripping call on me. I got up and instantly got in is face yelling at him and it turned into a full on fight. Luckily he was smaller than me and I was able to overpower him and bring him to the ground. We each got five minutes in the penalty box for fighting, and once I got out there were only two minutes left in the game. I went over to the bench and the coach put me back in the game with thirty-six seconds left and we had the puck. We had already pulled our goalie and needed to score to force overtime. When I got past the blue line, I got the puck from a pass, and hit it as hard as I could towards the net. It hit off one of New England's player and got redirected into the net to tie the game with twenty-nine seconds left. One of my teammates was able to score the game winning goal in overtime to move onto the next round against Texas. We ended up losing that game 4-2 and Texas was the team that ended up winning the whole tournament. The next few years were more of the same, getting to the national tournament, but losing a tough battle against the eventual winners.
     
    Yep, I never actually won the national tournament, but still had a lot of fun. You might be wondering what happened to Sarah after middle school, well turns out she was kissing other boys behind the bleachers of the football games when she said she was going to the bathrooms, I looked her up on Facebook and found out she's got two kids whose fathers have left her and lives at her mom's. Karma's a bitch ain't it. Well now let's move into my college years, well, year. I declared early for the draft.
     
    College
     
    Now, you might be thinking I went to a hockey school like Minnesota-Duluth or Michigan or somewhere northern, but honestly, I hate the cold. I ended up going to University of South Florida. Now you might be thinking they can't be good at hockey, but they actually are. When I was there, we made it to the ACHA finals where we were able to beat University of Kansas for the championship 5-1.
     
    "What?!? That's it?!? Yep, that's all. I only played one season before declaring for the draft and I'm now waiting for draft day. My story is far from over, and I will continue working my ass off with the mentality that I have to become better than I was the day before.
