I'd iike to see @Nykonax at Americans' locker room. (so many edits the only constant was Nykonax)

Bolding clearly works.

Word count FTL. Not a reflection on you.

Week 9/22 Premiere week! Although we've already had a few weekend games already, this will be the first full week. So I wanted to ask some questions about the future and about what has recently passed. 1. How has the league and our Saskatoon locker room worked for you so far? Any changes you would like to see? 2. Why did you choose the position you currently play? 3. If you were approached by a sponsor, which brand would you be happy to make an ad for? 4. As of posting this we have 5 games under our belt, do you think we're performing over or under expectations and on track for the weeks to come? 5. 72 games from now, if eligible and not already drafted, which team in the VHL would you hope you are drafted by? If drafted, are you happy with who picked you? 6. In Saskatoon, who will score the most points this season?

Deja-vu. 1. How has the team and/or the league been for you so far? Great, almost too fast. Had a great season with @FrostBeard in Houston, got picked as AGM in Saskatoon with @Peace and got drafted 9th to my favorite team with you guys and @Esso2264. I am still catching my breath. 2. If you could start your player over, what would you change? People tell me Leadership is useless, checking is for faggots, etc. But I really would stick to my build for the D I am envisioning, map > territory in this case, I'd rather roleplay than succumb to the sim engines quirks. 4. We have played a handful of games so far, do you think we're performing over or under expectations? I think we're looking quite good. Americans missed the playoffs last season, I am almost certain that will not be the case this one. We'll be top 4-5 is my prediction. 7. Do you feel there is something that should be changed, either with the team or how you claim TPE? I have so many ideas and thoughts about the TPE earning, but have promised to keep them to myself until I have played at least one more season. I can sometimes see the need to exhibit some humility, and when you're 10 weeks into a 10 year old league that is one of the times where you maybe should. 8. How do you feel about the expansion teams now that the season has started? I feel a bit bad for D.C. - maybe that's unwarranted, I am sure the tradeoffs @Enorama made will pay back tenfold in the future; Prague has a slightly better start and core currently under @diamond_ace. But really, I hope they do well this season, I would love to have something of a Golden Knights premiere season from one of them. Short-term it will be fun following them, long-term I hope they do really well. 10. We have a promising roster that should be good in the future, do you agree? We're... Columbus + Vegas + Colorado. What I mean with that, a very young, broad core of 250-500 TPE players, when we come into age we will wreck for 2-3 seasons.

And welcome, we have a D position open at Saskatoon I believe, if You'd accept.

Aleister Downey?

Mammus Gaffitti, a taken name from when he was pretending to be an importer/exporter when picking up a girl, looked bewildered, and a bit tired after the transcontinental flight and the three connecting flights to end up at Saskatoon John G. Diefenbaker International Airport instead of LAX. "Where the hell am I," he wondered, "and how long sentences can I string together?". Once in the terminal he first tried calling the airline to ask how the hell we was going to get to where he was going, but the cellphone reception was at zero. Going to one of the desks at the airport yielded only sarcastic answers from the clerks, "How aboot that, eh." He resigned himself to taking in on a hotel for the evening. Next day during breakfast an odd looking fellow butted in on his stall, "Mind if I sit here? I can't stand the smell of the poutine they are eating over there, it's something off with the cheese curdles I tell you," in a very Swedish accent. "You're Swedish?", Gaffitti inquired, "I don't mean to be rude, but you don't have that 'boat'- and 'eh'-thing going for you." "I am! And the Assistant GM to Saskatoon Wild too!" he proffered, "Tjena!" while almost loosing his glasses in the bowl of soup he had brought to the table. "Hej," Gaffitti didn't know what to make of the man but decided to roll with the situation, [translated from Swedish] "Ya know, I play hockey, was actually going to LA for a semi-serious lower league offer." "We'll have ya! What do you play? D right? D? Or goalie? Right, right? Perhaps D?" "Well, I prefer playing...", Gaffitti was interrupted while twirling his fake wedding ring. "Hired!", the odd looking AGM exclamated. "Meh, I'm a great quitter, so I will have to decline you on that one," they finished the breakfast in a hurdy durdy fashion.

Hey, my player is at the Americans, so obviously you should start out at Saskatoon during your VHLM stay.

Indeed, welcome to the league! I am the Assistant GM to Saskatoon Wild, and as you just missed the draft you're eligible as a waiver and can listen to offers from teams (I was in your position last season, and to be honest it's almost better to be able to pick and choose than being part of the draft ). In Saskatoon Wild (a small town with about 1/4th of the population of the whole of Saskatchewan) we're in big need of propping our roster up for the upcoming season. We'll probably not end up at the top of the league at the end of the season, but we have a chance to hit the playoffs and perhaps overperform there! Victory is a thousand times sweeter when you're the underdog! We can offer 2nd line minutes too, with a good chance that you can work your way to 1D during the season if you're diligent. We also have some pretty knowledgeable people, good resources in our locker room to take care of you during the season. Please feel to ask questions here, as Direct Message, or to our GM MrZPeace#0598 or me VerloreneSiege#9910 on Discord, and I hope you will entertain joining us this season! Whichever team you choose I hope you will have a good time here in VHL!

Welcome to Saskatoon and to the first press conference in a long time, and the start of a brand new season! 1. With the season about to start, which teams do you think will do the best in VHLM for this season? 2. If you had to say what you like best with, Saskatoon - this little town - what would it be? 3. What song would you like our fans to sing after a home-ice win? 4. Some fans have been vocal about a logo change for the team, if you changed it, what would you want it to depict? 5. What are your personal expectations in S69? 6. What kind of a teammate do you envision yourself to be at the end of this season?
