1. World Junior Championship finished last week with Wann Kerr @VattghernCZ and Jens Lekman @Bobcat winning gold for Europe; Do you actually follow the WJC? Why or why not?
A big congratulations to them both, they're already building chemistry ahead of their rookie seasons in the VHL. Both players are off to a great start despite playing behind some strong veterans. I try to follow all things league related but of course if my team or players on my team are involved it peaks my interest that much more.
2. Continue to talk about best-on-best tournaments, the World Cup final is being played today. Do you follow the World Championship? Why or why not?
I always followed the Continental Cup more than the World Cup, only because it feels like a bit of an all star game at times. Still an interesting tourney none the less.
3. Last week the team drafted Oreo McFleury @JB123 with the fifth overall pick and brother Reese McFleury @Spaz with the eighth overall pick. Can you recall the other two other players selected in similar position that are currently key aspect of the Vancouver Wolves roster? Who are they and are the McFleurys` going to have similar success in Vancouver?
Dogwood Maple and Pierre Emile Bouchard. If Oreo and Reese have the same success it's going to be strong run in Vancouver going forward. I was really happy we got both @JB123 and @Spaz it's going to really extend our competitive window with the cap the way it is.
4. Later this week, maybe even as early as today this season captains should be announced. What skills make a good captain? Why?
A strong locker room presence and a talented player on the ice are my two biggest notes for who should be team captain. I think @Gaikoku-hito is very deserving of being selected team Captain. With that being said there are so many great members currently on the roster and in the system, that there would have been no bad choices.
5. Issue faced by the league over the past week has been active UFA player unable to find a roster spot; Have you been following the situation and what would your solution be?
It's a tough situation since players who don't give much effort tend to be forgotten. It looks like it was sorted out and there aren't too many players left twisting in the wind.
6. Riddle: With pointed fangs I sit and wait; with piercing force I crunch out fate; grabbing victims, proclaiming might; physically joining with a single bite. What am I?
I'm going to admit to cheating since I'm terrible at riddles but @VattghernCZ seems to be bang on, stapler it is.
