1. We're off to a solid start! What are your first impressions of the season so far? - Pretty good. It's nice to make the next step in my career into the VHL! 2. Are you happy with your role on the team? - I'm just happy to be on the team. I'll gladly play the role they need me to play 3. Where do you see yourself as a league member in five seasons? - I'm hoping to be still playing and finishing out my career strong! 4. Who's your all-time favorite sports figure, in any sport? - Rick Nash is a great guy. Started out in my hometown in Columbus, so he gets my vote 5. What styles of music are you into? - Really any and all. I tend not to get into the extreme's of each type though. 6. Have you ever been in any online communities outside of the sim league world? What were they? - I'm a big mod developer / programmer of lots of various things, so I'm in a few communities that surround that.

1) The VHLM standings are divvied clearly into two tiers. We lead the CONTENDERS tier with 42P, but the 7th place team has 35P and there are six teams nipping on our heels. Now that we're about a third of the way through the season, what can we do to separate from the pack? - Play better and win games. Simple as that 2) Our 2 OTLs lead the league, and we haven't won a game that extended past 60 mins. Why have we struggled to close games out in sudden death? - I wish I had answer for you, but we just haven't stepped up to the plate past 3 periods 3) Last season, the Marauders dragged the top-seeded Minnesota Storm to Game 7 of round one. Now that we've seen some of what the Beast of the East can do, what are your expectations or hopes for S73 playoffs? - I'm expecting to get back for my 3rd championship appearence. I've been there and know what it takes. I will do my best to get this team there. 4) At some point, the trade deadline will sneak up on us. What should management do at the Trade Deadline to improve our team? - They just need to make a decision on if the team is good as it is, or if they want to take that one more step in going further all out this season. 5) Which bubble hockey do you prefer: bubble hockey or hockey in a bubble? - Let's play some bubble hockey 6) I've been out of the VHL loop a bit this summer - what's your early contender for Graphic of the Year or Media Spot of the Year? - I've been out of the loop too sadly

1. Miami began the season 9-0-1, a phenomenal start. How do you feel the team has lived up to the expectations set by many so far and how does the current start reflect your expectations for Miami this season? - It's really been incredible. The guys are living up to their names and we are showing the league that we mean business. 2. How satisfied are you with your player’s start to this season? What are your expectations as the season rolls on? - This season has been very down for me personally, but at the end of the day, the team is doing well and I will do everything I can to help out and add to the success. 3. A lot has been said about Miami as the Evil, the Heels of the M. Ten games in, how do you feel about that perception now? - Doesn't really matter. We will keep doing our thing and keep winning. That's what matters 4. To bridge into the last few questions here; What part of your player’s game are you most focused on aside from SC and DF? - Passing and setting guys up. Good break out passes and helping to contribute to as many goals as possible. 5. If you could pick one skill that could be more effective in the sim, what would it be? - I'll go hot take. Leadership. 6. With 16 teams in the VHL and 12 in the M, there’s plenty of space for more new members. With what took place with recruitment recently, what suggestions would you give to the recruiters of this league on how to attract new faces? - There's some incredible are work and graphics done here that definitely it's shown off enough in my opinion.

WELCOME TO SEASON 73!! I'm bigAL, AGM for your Miami Marauders, and I'll see you here every Sunday to compile questions from local media. For 2 capped TPE, you can quote this and answer all six questions as your player or your agent. Have fun with it, don't stress about getting the right answers, and answer the questions to the best of your ability. 1. At the start of the season, everyone is always so optimistic! What is your individual goal for S73? I think this season I need to make it my goal to get 3 finals appearances with 3 separate teams. That'd be pretty cool. 2. But, hockey isn't an individual sport. What are your S73 expectations for Miami? To go out there every night and give it their hardest. Not more you can ask than that. 3. Lots of VHLM pundits have labelled the S73 Marauders as a "heel" team, the supervillain that you love to hate and hate to love. Will you embrace the bad-boy reputation our team has earned this season, or did you prefer the underdog role we had last season? I've had the underdog role the past 2 years and it's worked pretty well, but I think It would be nice to just live up to expectations and take to the top. 4. Do you think you'll still be in a Marauder uniform at the end of the regular season? As much as I'd love to go 2 seasons with a team, I think this is my last year in the VHLM. 5. Which team do you think will be our VHLM rivals this season, and why? I got a decent rivalry with Minnesota started last year. Would love to pick that back up. 6. What point tasks do you enjoy doing most, and why? I love responding back to these and answering your guys' questions!

Zamboni Driver @Tape-to-Tape is second in the league for shutouts, what makes them so good? - Ice management. Sneaky, but effective 3. I've heard that the ice in Mexico is some of the worst ice in the league, do you think practicing on bad ice helps or hurts our game? - I don't know what your are talking about. Our goalie and Zamboni driver keep our ice in perfect condition. 4. The VHL is expanding, what team looks the best to you? - I'm glad Chicago is getting a team. Good hockey city and should really be able to bring the league up a notch. 5. What's your go to pump up music? - The Score have a lot of great pump up music. 6.

1. Recreates happened, who do you think is going to have a standout career among that group? - Honestly, you have me stumped there. 2. The Kings didn't make any moves at the trade deadline, do you think this is the right move? - We are in a tough spot. Bouncing around the middle of the pack and I don't think many teams were really looking to give up any big names. This gives us a good shot and next year. 3. We are in a tight battle for 3rd overall, what can we do to clinch it? - I'd love to see it happen 4. Viktor Alexei Kamenov is tied for 2nd in power play goals, how does he do it? - That dude is like Ovi out there. He just has his spot. 5. What does being a King mean to you? - Right now it means being apart of building a new image and a new dream. 6. Besides hockey, what other sports do you enjoy? - I like me some time out on the course. After winning the cup that is

1. The WJC have started, what country do you think is going to win? - Late to the party, but I thought we (USA) did well! 2. Mexico City just can't seem to gain solid traction, what do you think we need to change in our game? - Wish I knew man. Some games everything clicks, others nothing is. 3. Houston seems to be gunning to beat our 60 lose record from last year, what do you think is the main cause of this? - As someone not on the team last year, it doesn't hit me as hard, but I know a lot of the guys would like to forget last year 4. What VHL team do you think is going to win the cup this season? - Us of course 5. What VHL team do you want to eventually play for? - I'm really getting to like my drafted team HC David 6.

1. We've made some big trades recently, who do you think's going to make the biggest impact for us? - I'll just on the Viktor Mjers hype train. This guys has a lot of potential. 2. What do you think is going to be your best stat this season? - A week ago I woul'd have said shot blocks and hits, but this week has been amazing for my assist numbers, so that's looking up. 3. We've had a lot of Kings getting jobs recently, what would your ideal VHL job be? - AGM. As a more of a leader, I feel like I would excel in this role 4. What VHLM team do you think is just going to slip into the playoffs? - I feel like Mississauga is a bit up there to me. 5. Who's the most underrated player on the Kings? - I pick someone different Chris Hylands has some nice all around stats. Definitely a solid player. 6. Have you picked up any new hobbies or dove deeper into one during this isolation period. - I've been all on board getting deeper into programming. Amazing them things you can make computers and everything around you do!

Still a lot of games to go, so not reading into it too much, but its a great start! I think everyone would say they would want to do better, but I know myself and I know I have another level in me As a defenseman, Joe Jacks is doing pretty good. He's got all the stats up there, not just goals and assits. I'd love a little rivalry with either of my former teams in Sask or Ottawa. Would make for some good fun! @Tape-to-Tape has some magic with the staff here because the ice is always fantastic Great burgers and better friends

1. Welcome to the kings (or welcome back for some of you). We are throwing a pitch in party, what are you bringing? As the newbie I think I'm supposed to bring the pucks? Else wise, some nice burgers will do. 2. For those of you who were drafted, are you surprised at your draft position. For those not drafted how do you feel about Chris Hylands @Hylands33 going first overall? For me and all that's I've been through in the VHL it felt really weird to get drafted after spending last season on 2 teams and getting a cup with Ottawa. 3. What is your main goal this season? The make a name for myself. Last season was all about learning and adapting. I think now it's my time to shine. 4. What do you think the Kings chances are this season? I think we've got what it takes to make a good playoff push. Seeing all the top teams burning a lot for last season and seeing what Mexico has stocked up, I think we've got what it takes. 5. The kings are looking for a new mascot, what do you think it should be? I don't know, but we definitely shouldn't be taking any notes from Los Angeles. I get a lion, but I think better can be done. 6. Who are you picking as your training partner on the team this year? Maybe me and Jay Jones will revive our old team mate friend ship. We'll see.
