Kisslinger

1. I’m feeling great, I think we have a great competitive roster that will get better and better. 2. i expected this to be honest, we are a newer group with some fresh faces, myself included, so we have to get to know eachother and play and build some chemistry! 3. I think the team has a great environment, an active locker room and gm’s who talk frequently and encourage earning! Love to see it all 4. one of the top players in the VHL! 5. I know it’s basic but taco’s lol, i don’t eat much Mexican food since I’m new here but I’d love to try it all! 6. Elon musk, would make him buy me things hahaha.

King is a King! And with the 9th pick in the S89 VHLM Draft, The Mexico City Kings select, King Kisslinger! Just like that, King Kisslinger’s life changed forever. All the hard work, blood, sweat and tears were finally worth it. It honestly started to feel like it’s somewhat paying off, but Kisslinger knows this is just the beginning and he cannot slack. But it’s not about that right now. It’s about celebrating the moment and taking in everything that happened this past weekend. “This was truly one of the greatest moments of my life” Kisslinger said. “When I started playing hockey, it was never a guarantee i would be standing right here with a professional jersey on. It was a dream that I made true tonight and I cannot wait to show the Mexico City Fans the type of player they just drafted in me” We asked Kisslinger a few questions and had him talk about some of the things that happened on draft week. Kisslinger talked about the draft process and if he ever thought about where he was going to end up. We asked Kisslinger what three things he brings to this young hungry Mexico team and we followed up this up with asking Kisslinger if he has any expectations when it came to this upcoming season. “To me the draft process is one of the most exciting but grueling experiences you can go through. You have so many different thoughts running through your mind and you always second doubt if you have a good interview or if they caught you on a bad day or said something they didn’t like. Other than that, it’s an amazing time getting able to meet all the fans of teams you will be potentially playing for, it’s just really awesome.” I was interviewed by a couple of teams and some of the interviews went a while and I felt they all went well! But I know we all say this but I really felt like I was going to Mexico. It was the team I felt like I fit the best with and the team that I would have the most opportunities to grow as a leader and a player.” “Honestly it is a really simple three things that I think makes any hockey player great, and they are Composure, Hockey IQ and leadership. I feel like that is one of the strongest bases because those are some of the hardest skills to learn and improve. Skating and shooting are something you can work on everyday for hours, but the times where you can train your Hockey IQ and leadership aren’t as common.” “Honestly, my only expectation for the team is to play like a family and to give it our all our every game for us and for the fans. That’s all we can do every game anyways. I could say yeah I want us to win a cup or win all these individual awards but sometimes being more realistic helps us rather than shooting but always. Let’s see how the first couple of games go then we can revisit these expectations. Super excited for this journey, pumped to have the season starting soon! Let’s go Mexico!

I honestly have not been more excited for a season to start in what feels like forever, but after being drafted 9th overall to Mexico City! King Kisslinger is now a King! I am so very excited to see how my player is going to play back under Sam as my gm! Last time Sam was my gm I won my very first VHLM award on my last player so let us hope the trend continues. I am hoping for a really really strong individual season from Kisslinger, I really want him to be the dominant center I think he can be. It’s been so long since I have been able to upgrade my player rather than just save so it has been very difficult to remember what to upgrade and what not but it’s been a super fun process to be at the very beginning on again. I am really optimistic about the team too! Got lots of solid members on the squad and we will be a force to be reckon with once everyone gets upgrading and the season progresses!

1. I am fired right up! So excited to get to work and bring that championship to Mexico this season! 2. Right now I’m just recovering, making sure I am the best I can be come season opener. 3. I only pay attention to us, so us, let’s goooo! 4. probably press conference lmao, easy and quick. Lots of different answers and you get to know ur team! 5. Great things, was my GM in Halifax and put up the most amount of points I ever have! 6. hmmm tbh i do like bieber so anything by him is alright.

1. You guys are looking good! Will be fun to play against you guys this season! 2. Yeah i did, played in one i think and i didn’t do the best lol. 3. Man, I’m just excited to get out there and play a full season! 4. yeah, i like it. Helps make the VHLM more of a prospect pool rather than a super competitive league. 5. Probably shoes and yes, they accept it. 6. Yeah i used to play lots of sports and won a bunch of medals in those.

1. Jensen for sure man’s a machine. 2. No, i wasn’t worried about anyone but now our season is over. 3. i feel like this is a trick question, i was chosen by the steel, now I’m a steel for life. 4. I’m excited for the draft, super excited to see where i end up. 5. usually do my media spots and easy stuff then I’ll put it in scoring or defence! 6. Let’s go panthers, then next season I’m back to my Blackhawks!

King Kisslinger has his eyes peeled on the upcoming VHLM draft and he couldn’t be more excited to find out where he and his family move too for the next season. Kisslinger has had a really busy offseason, working hard and training in any way he can to become a better hockey player. He has been practicing every single day and has even competed in the recent junior showcase. Kisslinger is looking to absorb as much knowledge playing with people of many leagues. Kisslinger wants to become an elite centre for any team that picks him. He wants to be able to score the puck, dish it away without turnovers and wants to become a dominate centre man for ages to come. Kisslinger has been working on his defensive aspects of his game. shot blocking, stick positioning and positioning of his own body. He has been working with some of the best coaches from around the world on a daily basis. Kisslinger’s top 3 strengths would have to be his face off ability, his skating and his speed. Kisslinger is a big body center who cannot be stopped when it comes to the dot. That big body moves super well as his skating and speed are second to none. His shot is powerful but not the most accurate. He feels as this is something he can improve on throughout his rookie season. Whoever gets Kisslinger is getting a machine of a skater, and a hell of a player. Kisslinger wants to be ready for the opportunity to lead a franchise to a championship. He has been focusing on watching tape and talking with some of the best players in the world who have experienced the toughest moments in hockey. He believes he is ready to make an immediate impact to any team in the right direction. He is a very loyal player who stays committed to helping the team who committed to him. Kisslinger likes to compare himself to Patrice Bergeron, but he can have moments like Alex Ovechkin. Kisslinger feels like he has a very complete game and it balances out nicely rather than being more dominant in the other. Kisslinger also believes that there is more to the player than the just the stat sheet. He wants to maintain a good plus minus and become a defensive wall. Kisslinger loves the Ovechkin onetimer shot on the power play, that’s how he scored his first VHLM goal in Houston last year. He is looking to add many more this way this upcoming season hoping to be a scoring threat in the power play! At the end of the day, Kisslinger wants to play hockey at the highest level and he does not care how he does that. He will achieve his goals one way or another. Even if he doesn’t become a lottery pick, he will rock with any team that rocks with him, plain and simple. Kisslinger feels like he showed the league what he can do and he is hoping that someone noticed that he is something special. sorry for the bad looking media spot. Away from home and don’t have my laptop! 510 words or something like that

yo this is fire man, thank you sm!

1. I want my player to really find his game here and start putting up some points! 2. I mean, I don't follow any other team other than ours lol. 3. I feel no way, I am here to work and get wins. 4. Any one that was on Houston last season! 5. I like the locker room, I don't talk much but I do read the chats lol. 6. man, that is a tough one, I don't really have a favorite artist, but I do listen to rap!

Questions with AJ Today I’m joined by @AJW to talk about King Kisslinger, a Center for the upcoming VHLM draft. I’d like to thank AJ for taking the time out of his day to join me and answer a few questions I have! Q. How and where did you feel King Kisslinger fit into the Houston squad last season? Was he a pick-up you felt you needed to help bolster the team? A. Kisslinger fit into our Bulls lineup perfectly. While already having two centers, we were missing a 6th core forward. Kisslinger played a few games at winger to start his season but quickly showed he deserved his own line at center. Houston signed two more wingers as well to build more depth in our lines. Kisslinger played the perfect role as our 3rd line center and even saw some time centering the second line during playoffs. Q. As King Kisslinger’s first gm, where do you see him going in this year's draft? Are there any teams you could see really benefiting from his presence? A. I think Kisslinger will rise up the draft board higher than his current TPE rankings show. Kisslinger shows up every week and has so much potential to reach. Anyone who is smart enough to take him when he’s available will have themselves a future franchise center. Q. What would you say King Kisslinger’s biggest strengths and weaknesses were last season? A. I believe it is too early to even see strengths and weaknesses in Kisslinger. With such a small sample of games played as an underdeveloped skater, I would say Kisslinger did his job this past season. He wasn’t producing the points imagined but that wasn’t what we needed him for. We needed a lockdown center that could bounce around any line we needed. Q. What would your NHL comparison for King Kisslinger be? A. Sticking with Houston’s state in Texas, I’m seeing Tyler Seguin. An all-star player to come. Update I was impressed by my first season, I really think that even though I wasn’t getting points, I was winning faceoffs, getting a decent plus-minus, hell even throwing the body around!! Sometimes I just need to remember that points aren’t everything to show you’re a good player. I’m looking forward to seeing where I go in the draft. I’m super excited to hopefully have an immediate impact on a time that needs me. I have no preferences for teams, as long as I can play hockey and hopefully help win a championship. I would love to end up being a top 5 pick in any of the drafts to really prove to myself that I’m elite and showcase to the world that King Kisslinger is going to be a force to reckon with. It isn’t the end of the world if I’m not, I will just show the world they messed up and should have picked me earlier! I’d quickly like to thank AJ again for joining me to answer a few questions. I’m really excited to see what the career of King Kisslinger turns into! 512 words. sorry it looks so rough, had to do it on the phone at work lol

1. Man what a season it was! I played my very best and was happy with my depth role! Was an honour to be a late pick up and be a Bull for the time I was! 2. I’d love to keep in touch with my teammates, it’s important to make connections and friendships in this league! 3. The other teams goalie lol, when you have an elite goalie it’s hard to put pucks past him!! 4. I don’t think so, going to focus on the draft! 5. Diamond Ace for sure. 6. Working hard, i want to be the best!

Respect man, happy to hand off the torch to big Girts! Lead the way to the next cup man. Was an honour to play with you.

Early Life King Kisslinger was born on December 15th in a small town in Northern Ontario. King Kisslinger has 1 younger sibling and they lived with their parents, Harold and Loretta. Harold was a die-hard Blackhawks fan so hockey was always in King Kisslinger's life but he was not really a fan of the sport. King Kisslinger had a pretty easygoing childhood, his parents were loving, and he and his sibling got along great but the one thing he had to do that he did not like was play hockey. As a child, King hated playing hockey because his dad was such a big Blackhawks fan, all he ever wanted was for his son to make the NHL and play for them. It felt like it was never about fun, when it came to hockey it was almost like his childhood was not as easygoing anymore. His father would pressure and push him to become a very skilled hockey player against King's will. Any time King would speak to his father Harold about any passion outside of hockey he would be told it was a waste of time and that he should be focusing on what he is good for and that is to play hockey. King's relationship with his father began to deteriorate fast over time. King moved out of his parent's house at thirteen years old. It was like King was finally free from that pressure and that sport that made his life hard. King would not show up to his practices, he would do anything to be away from that house and more importantly away from hockey. King moved into his cousin Zachariah Kisslinger the former Prague Phantom and his Son Zach Kisslinger II of the Warsaw Predators house. this is where he learned that hockey could be fun and that you can be an amazing player without being pushed to your limits every day. Having these family members who played hockey at such a high level in the VHL and who could still have fun and treat it like you were playing as a kid for the first time really changed King Kisslinger's outlook on the game. He began to work hard on his own and he started to enjoy it. King Kisslinger felt off without having his father with him though. So before King entered into the OHL drafted he reached out to his father Harold. His father ended up seeing that his ways were more harmful and apologized for them so that helped fix their relationship. With all this pressure and learning, it did create a diamond. King Kisslinger would be drafted to the Erie Otters of the OHL and that is when he would be put on the map. OHL Career King Kisslinger came to play in the OHL. King Kisslinger was a 3rd round draft pick in the OHL drafted and it was the Erie Otters who were the lucky club to call his name. Erie has had some amazing players over the years, Mcdavid and Debrincat to name two and I don't think anyone on draft night would think King Kisslinger would eventually join the greats that were once Erie Otters. In his rookie season, he showed the world why he was going to be a problem with an impressive stat line of twenty-nine goals, and thirty-six assists for 58 points in 57 games. King Kisslinger went from a third-round pick in the OHL draft to top ten in rookie scoring in the same season. The Erie Otters named Kisslinger the team's rookie of the year. Erie made it to the playoffs but they lost in the second round to the London Knights. Kisslinger was forced out with an injury at the end of the regular season and did not play in the postseason. King Kisslinger in his sophomore season was a sight to behold. He became such a dominant player in just one year. King Kisslinger put up forty-six goals and sixty-four assists for one hundred ten points in sixty-one games played. The Erie Otters made the semi-finals and then again lost to London Kisslinger was named an assistant captain of the team this year. Kisslinger also made Team Canada for the world juniors and helped lead them to gold over Sweden, four-two. Kisslinger was finally on the map and the scouts were all over him. In King Kisslinger's last season with the Otters, he shattered records. Kisslinger had fifty-seven goals and seventy-two assists for one hundred twenty-nine points Kisslinger and the Erie Otters would finally win the club a championship, with Kisslinger being named playoff and league MVP and the CHL player of the year. Kisslinger had a choice to make after this season and it was to declare for the NHL entry draft or to join his cousins and go the VHL route, but only one person knew the choice he was going to make and it was King himself. VHLM Future King Kisslinger decided to go the family route and he chose the VHLM! Kisslinger signed a waiver deal with the Houston Bulls and is hoping to help bolster their push to win a championship, just like he did in Erie. Kisslinger does not know what his future holds in the VHLM and which team he will be playing for next but one thing that is for sure is that he will be putting his all into Houston to help them become the best and be the best. word count 911

1. I think our record will be 7-2-1, I think if we get hot we could win all ten! 2. I love being an underdog because it makes people respect you so much faster and more when you pull off that massive upset. It also puts us on the map for the future. 3. I do not care really what team picks me but I do want to be a first-round pick. I'm always excited and wherever I am I want to get the job done. 4. We can hope for the top 5, great accomplishment anyways so be proud! 5. I have a Belgian Malinois named Seeka and a Shiba named Sora. My family has a pet cat named Twix as well! 6. My work is pretty physical but I do try to get out and do things as much as possible but not a gym rat lol.

Hell yeah man, thanks for being the best defence a forward could ask for my man!!

King Kisslinger is ready to take over the VHLM! It has been a long harsh winter and all King Kisslinger has been doing is sitting in his royal castle waiting for this harsh winter to end. King Kisslinger did not like the winter and had no idea why people would like such miserable, cold, and just gross weather. King Kisslinger knew there had to be a reason for people to like the cold so King dug a little deeper and discovered the sport of ice hockey. King was amazed, he had no idea something so beautiful existed. The speed of the players skating, the big bone-crushing hits, and the way the arena EXPLODES when the home team scores. King Kisslinger finally knew why winter was amazing! Road to becoming a pro?? By no means was King Kisslinger a natrual when he first started to try to play hockey. I mean, he did nothing but sit in his castle all day and experience the best of the best. That was something King Kisslinger was used to, and you could tell by his reaction to how he was playing, He was not used to struggling and used to feeling helpless on the ice. He did not like this feeling, but it had awoken a beast inside this young man. Although during his time on the ice he was not having any fun, it was after the game that really changed his life. King Kisslinger felt like he finally had a point to live, a point to work towards to be better at something. King Kisslinger got addicated from one bad experience and was destined to make it better. He was set on becoming the best, maybe not the best player to ever live, but the best verison of himself. Practice makes Perfect right?? King Kisslinger decicated his life to hockey at this point, he was almost starting to forget he was a King. Kisslinger would spend countless hours watching tape, working out with the best trainers, hiring the best nutritionists from around the world and even playing some pick up games with some VHL and NHL legends. It was during this pick up game where one of the VHL legends encourged King Kisslinger to really push himself and see if he can make it to the VHL. KIng Kisslinger has had some super distant family memebers play in the VHL, he knew this was something that ran in his blood. Kisslinger finally had his goal in his sights and it was to try to be picked up by any of the VHLM teams, but he knew that would not be easy. There are a ton of super good prospects that are going to be working as hard as Kisslinger if not harder to make the league, Kisslinger knew he had this in the bag though. Sign the Dotted line Sir! It is official is right, After all that hard work and all those hours of blood sweet and tears, Kisslinger has signed his very first contract with the Houston Bulls of the VHLM. Kisslinger was so excited to get down to the warmer Texas weather than his seculded castle in the Canadian outback. Kisslinger knew that if he wanted to keep progressing he would have to keep grinding and keep working hard, maybe even harder to stay where he is. Kisslinger is locked and loaded and ready to help push the Bulls to the championship word count is like 560 something

1. Hell yeah, any moves the gm and the agm make have my support 100 %, when trying to win you do what you think will benefit the team! 2. Just try to get some more depth pieces for cheap, could get more recreates if possible! 3. I think it is a cool way to bring back legendary teams and players from the past and have these ideal matchups with the new-age teams. 4. I was in the locker room before, and I can say that already the environment has changed and that you two do a great job at leading the Bulls. 5. nah, getting a new job that is a week on a week off, tpe will get better on my end for sure! 6. I am a long island iced tea kinda guy if I order out, a good old Corona is nice too, but my favorite drink has to be poweraide
