Presser week ending Nov 26 2023 1. Trade deadline is approaching, what move should Calgary be looking to make to improve? 2. What is your Recruitment theme week idea? 3. If the VHL contracted today, what 4 teams should be removed? 4. VHLE or VHLM and why? 5. What is your least favourite sport? 6. If you could be an Olympic athlete, what sport would you want to be a part of?

-Having a team who are all active and involved in recruitment would be a good start! -Lean on what’s worked in the past such as YouTube ads, reaching out to Reddit accounts for posts, emailing out old members to return. -Coming up with new ideas to try while still holding on to the core recruitment strategies. Then replacing those core strategies if you find something that works better.

I’m just gunna add my two sense, not that it matters but I wanted to share my experience as a previous Recruitment Team Member. When I was apart of the Recruitment Team I had a hard time dealing with the lack of commitment from other team members. I put together every YouTube drive, every Reddit attempt (even in the current state of how things are with the VHL and Reddit), I also did a lot of posting on social media, put together Instagram ads, etc. I honestly earned the TPE I claimed for that job. I did not feel the rest of the team put in nearly the same amount of effort and it got frustrating to the point where I’d blow up on the team and then everyone started to chip in and help. This would only last a few weeks and then fizzle out again, rinse and repeat. This is the real reason I stepped away from the team. Recruitment should be a job that’s held by people who don’t hold any other jobs. It takes commitment and requires a lot of personal time to make it successful. Now juggle being a GM and any other job a team member might have on top that. I agree with the overall message that Zetterberg is trying to get across, despite the delivery. Recruitment has no focus and has become a real problem and this problem has been festering for a long time. I hope this leads to positive change for the team and for the league.

Preach!

S90 Calgary Wranglers Captains Assistant Captain: AirRig GoodBrandSun @Rhynex Entertainment Calgary legend AirRig GoodBrandSun is back in his final season in a place he used to call home. Clearly he is still beloved and respected by the Wranglers organization as he gets voted on to the be the Assistant Captain. I’m excited to see him lead the team in his swan song season. Assistant Captain: Malum Maellard @frescoelmo Veteran defender Malum Maellard has joined the Wranglers back end for his final two seasons. He’s made an immediate impact in the locker room and has been chosen by his team to be an Assistant Captain. Assistant Captain: Randy Bobandy @AJW For the first time in GM Rices’ career he has announced a third Assistant Captain. Randy Bobandy will be leading the charge for the forwards this season and has also made an immediate impact with his new team this season. We are very excited to see what he can do for Calgary this season. Captain: @Phil Phil Strasmore He’s back! Captain Strasmore will retain his title as Captain next season. He did an amazing job leading this team through a tough season and will get a chance to lead a much more competitive roster in S91. Congrats to our captaincy group for season 91. Let’s go show this league what the Wranglers are all about.

Calgary Wrangler's S90 Team Awards We are back! Gettin' them done before the next season begins. Season 90 was an anomaly for the Wranglers as they took a step back in order to rebuild the system. They have coined the term "Losing Sucks" and are ready to turn the ship around for S91. Let's have a look back at last season and hand out some awards for the player's hard work. DJ Badge (Leadership) The Daniel Janser Badge is given to the player/s that exemplify the best leadership qualities over the course of a season. A few players stood out last season as leaders for this group through a tough season and deserve to have earned this award. Congratulations to Phil Strasmore @Phil and Fradin McGryer @Fradin99 on being our co-winners of the DJ Badge. Jubis Memorial Trophy (Long-Term Success) This award is given to the player who demonstrates the potential to have long-term success as a member of this league. This player went through his fair share of personal issues this season and even through it all has managed to stay active in this league. If he can continue on this path I have no doubt that he will be a mainstay for seasons to come. Congratulations to Fradin McGryer @Fradin99 on winning this award. Young Buck Award (Top Prospect) We like to shine a light on our players as well as our prospects each season. One player stuck out above the rest and had an exceptional season down in the VHLE. He has continued to put in the work and will be a mainstay in Calgary as he moves up to eventually take the role as our number one centreman. For his hard work and dedication, Raimo Tuomenin @SlapshotWrangler is our Young Buck Award winner! Last Line Award (Top Defenseman) This award is handed out to the top defensemen over the course of a regular season. This defensemen played in every situation and was not only the best defensemen but the best skater for our team last season. Congratulations to Phil Strasmore @Phil on winning the Last Line Award. Top Shelf Award (Goals Leader) Two players are the winners of the Top Shelf Award for S90. Both players came into the season playing their first with Calgary and one of them was a rookie for our squad. They each scored 24 goals to earn themselves this award. Congratulations to Steve Lattimer @pugsood and Zac Martinez @Sam_19. Rybak Trophy (Points Leader) We had one player lead the team in points last season and he did so with 60 points. This is very good seeing as how we had a very down season. He did have a new career high in goals scored with 13. Congratulations Phil Strasmore @Phil on winning the Rybak Trophy. The Most Valuable Wrangler There is one player on this team that stands above the rest. He did everything in his power to ruin the tank. He set new career bests in save percentage (.928) and goals against average (2.7) even though the team has been its worst since he's been a part of it. We are looking forward to seeing what he can do with a contending roster in front of him next season. Congratulations to Merome Dilson @MexicanCow123on being the Most Valuable Wrangler. Thats all for our season 90 awards. We are very excited to have turned this ship around and are looking forward to who will be fighting for these awards next season.
