HC Davos Dynamo Press Conference
You ONLY have to answer 6 of the 8 questions
Week Of January 16th - January 22nd 20231: Training Camp has opened! Which attribute do you plan on upgrading?
2: How do you think Davos did this draft?
3: How many points do you expect to score this season?
4: How many points do you think McDavid will end this season with?
5: Which mechanic or feature would you add/improve in the next NHL game?
6: Which movie has the best sequel?
7: Which song have you listened to most so far in 2023?
8: Which video game have you replayed the most?
1. "I focused a lot more on scoring to be honest, even though I am a defenseman. Personally, I didn't like seeing the lack of point production I was giving in my first season. I think if I'm risking the team by being in the penalty box and giving up points.. I should contribute and give points back."
2. "Excellent. Get the pieces we need or trade them away for bigger ones, that's the joy of the game."
3. "I want to double the amount I had last season. 24 points should be doable."
4. "He'll get 60+ goals, over 120 points and still be a second round exit. What do you expect from Edmonton?"
5. "Ragdoll. I want all of the ragdoll physics with body hits and more."
7. "Been listening to a ton of Queens of the Stone Age so it's more of a band listen than a single song." -

3. "Well I'll be honest I'm not a fan with how little I help offensively but I'd say my impact on the team and in that penalty box is certainly there. A LOT to improve on but not too bad for a rookie. Especially getting my first goal here."
4. "Just so I can scream it... DADONOOOOOOOOV!!!"
7. "Home Alone because I want to set up those traps or go into a house all prepared like that and see how I'd survive that sh*t."
9. "I would want to see him redeem himself in AEW before going back to WWE, would feel bad leaving one company on a bitter note just to join another." -

Express Press Conference
(Week Ending October 9th)
Answering three questions gets you 1 Capped TPE
Answering six questions gets you 2 Capped TPE
1. The trade deadline has passed and we saw a couple of teams in the E moving pieces to try and improve. Cologne was one, do you think the trade has improved the team?
2. 18 game to go and 11 points behind 2nd place. Is it achievable still?
3. 2nd place would mean having a bye in the wildcard round. How important would that be?
4. Would you rather play the wildcard to maintain rhythm or skip it for some rest?
5. What’s the key for Cologne to have the chance to win the E this season?
6. Would you rather be an unknown superhero or an infamous villain?
1. “I’d say so, Jason has definitely been a needed presence on the ice and we’re keeping afloat with this interesting season currently. We improved, we staying alive, that’s all we can ask for.”
2. “Of course, we win every single game we can achieve anything. If we win every game of the playoffs, even if we’re last place… we win the championship. That’s what matters.”
3. “Less people to face, easier it should be in the playoffs. Course that won’t mean sh*t but it lowers our chances of immediate elimination.”
4. “Granted we don’t get injured here but honestly… I wouldn’t mind some extra adrenaline, keep the blood pumping, gives me more people to knock the f*ck out.”
5. “Win games, beat up lines and move on to the next one. Never lose. By 1 or a thousand… never lose.”
6. “Infamous supervillain baby, everyone will know me… sure I’m a bad guy but who gets their own plushie? I thought so.”

Link claim for Week Oct. 3-9

Taking a look at my resume of being a GM within the league, is quite an interesting one for someone who has never really been a GM of a team. Yet in spite of it all, my tenure of operating STHS and even control within a team I have created is a thrill I wish many hockey lovers can share and experience. Below, I'll discuss my time creating the Glasgow Guardians and Chamonix Black Diamonds, the season of Halifax and most recently, operating a team in the World Junior Classic.
Chamonix Black Diamonds
If you haven't heard of CBD.... Okay bad abbreviation. How about CHX. If you haven't heard about CHX, then allow me to introduce to you them.... if you have then this is probably your twentieth time as I have mentioned this team NUMEROUS times to people. The origin of the team came from a point task about potential team names and locations for a VHL expansion, before they created the VHLE. In that list of teams, I put one called the "Chamonix Black Diamonds", a hockey team centered in France. Chamonix is one of France's most successful locations for hockey and known for its snowy mountains, perfect for skiing. With all the research done on that team and several others, the name and origin still fascinated me the most. In an off-season, the league hosts a fun Pro-Am for others to GM and make teams, keeping others busy while the off-season shenanigans go down. I volunteered and with the freedom to make my own team, I went with Chamonix. Sadly, while the team did not end up winning the championship, it still made quite an impact in the playoffs of the Pro-Am. Everything about it was so fun for me, the focus of specific parts of a team, doing research on players and viewing their stats, comparing it to others and see who I liked the most out of them all. I took it seriously, even if it was for fun, I wanted to win. I was open to change and making weird combinations with ice time and pairings, making one lineup different than the next to see what sticks the most. It was a thrill and it certainly kept me going for even more. Enough to go for seconds in the following Pro-Am
Glasgow Guardians
Making European teams is my thing I guess (lol). The origin of GSG came from my own hockey custom league that I made several years ago, a name and location added into a giant poll of potential team ideas. This year I gave people the option to choose what my team will be, no matter the aesthetic or location, I wanted them to decide. Out of them all, Glasgow won and was created. While the colors were not what I had in mind, it felt like the team truly evolved its identity and more through the Pro-Am which looking back at it... I loved it. I loved seeing the team use #GuardUp in the server, I loved seeing what I first started out with get its own logo and more unique color palette. Everything was a growing pain, but it was worth it. Like Chamonix, I did heavy research on the players I would draft, trying to do things as strategic as possible to make sure I got the important things, such as a strong defense if the goalie wasn't a high level or people good at scoring or faceoffs when choosing between forwards. Just like Chamonix, no luck on a championship but what I got was a stronger passion for being a GM in the VHL. While at the time I would still be in college and unable to take a job as serious and heavy as a GM role, I did take things a step further for a legit team in the VHL. Being an assistant GM for Halifax 21st.
Halifax 21st
Connections are important. At the time of my VHL tenure, I knew two people quite well for their help in getting me in the league. Hylands and rory, GM and AGM of the Mexico City Kings at the time. Hylands would later be the GM of Malmo and rory would be GM of Halifax 21st. While I helped Hylands with some lineup tweaks, my connection with rory and previous experiences handling STHS made it good enough to be hired as the team's AGM. Coming up with new questions for press conferences was tough at times but fun for the sake of creativity and activity, I loved making lineups and the team we created was phenomenal. From huge winning streaks to being the best VHLM team that season, things were looking good.... for now. Sadly, once playoffs came around the team was eliminated in the first round. No matter how many tweaks and adjustments, we fell flat. Plain and simple. Then things truly came crashing down, rory left the team and new management came in. With that, I was in and out of Halifax in one season. Despite the playoff pains, it was certainly a fun experience and one I'm truly proud of. For a while that was my only GM role, I would then focus on my studies for a few months before coming back to the VHL. Seeing an opportunity and more time to myself I figured I would shake off the ring rust and join... Team World.
Team World
When being scouted for the World Juniors Classic, I told those in charge that I was open to any challenge given. Not having a preference on what country or team to represent and build, being handed World was a blessing and a curse. With the rules of the WJC, 8 of the 15 players were practically chosen immediately. Both my goalies were set and not a single defenseman given, meaning the other half is all me. Yet, there was a beauty in this. Looking at the list of available players, almost everyone that wasn't taken could qualify for Team World, like I had a special permission that no other team had. With that, I focused heavy on defense. Researching players and cropping out those with lower defense stats, then when things were tied or in need of backup, I'd check their VHLE/M stats too see who impressed the most. While Team World only ended up 4th out of 5th in the playoffs, the team managed to be 2nd place in a very tight race in the standings. I came in with low expectations and truly wanted us to defy all the odds and guesses people had... somehow someway, it worked out.
Being a GM again was fun, submitting changed lines, making new ones and even having themes with who starts and who is matched with who. I have fun when GMing and the help of VHL's database makes things more interesting. It's not just who has the most TPE, it's about what you need and what works best for you. That's the beauty of sports. I hope to one day represent another VHL team, whether it's VHLE, VHLM or even being a AGM again, I enjoyed what I did and truthfully... I can't wait for the next chance. Of course, if someone wants to hire me just contact me here or discord.
Being a GM is something everyone should try, whether pass or fail... it's an experience.

1. We are reaching the halfway mark. How are you feeling?
2. This week is 'Theme Week'. How excited do you get by these extra-TPE opportunities?
3. The trade deadline is coming up. What are you expecting from VHLE teams?
4. It also marks the 'recreate day'. Are you following any user(s) on that?
5. When answering these Press Conferences, what kind of questions would you rather answer?
6. Would you rather talk like Yoda or breathe like Darth Vader for the rest of your life?
1. “Honestly? Mixed. We’re in playoff contention but have been on and off throughout the season. Granted changing things up is something every team should do but damn. When things are hot, they’re hot. When things are cold… the fans will let you know.”
2. “Well coach came to me, said get my defense up before playoffs and I said ‘SIR YES SIR!’ so… quite excited to get that done.”
3. “To let us fleece every single team. Even Istanbul, we’ll take one of their 15 bot players.”
4. “Don’t need to, as a recreate myself I am well past that point but possibly in the future.”
5. “Honestly prefer ones that I can be honest about, not focusing on users or too much slice of life. If it lets me curse on the conference, f*cking send em away.”
6. “Be a mouth breather or an insane person.. I’m pretty crazy at the moment so f*ck it. Vader breathing. I’ll annoy every man in the locker room for sh*YS and giggles.”

1. We're a quarter into the season. While we had a shaky start, things are starting to look better. How are you feeling about the team?
2. Do you follow any other team apart from the Express (and why)?
3. What are you most looking forward to when you graduate from the VHLE?
4. The NFL has started. Do you support any team there?
5. Do you have a favorite player in the VHL?
6. Who is your player's render (and why)?
1. "Well you ain't f*cking lying, the start of the season looked freakin terrible. But the team is doing what we were hoping to do, if anything we just tripped at the starting line and really pushing ourselves up the standings. Let's just keep doing that and we'll be solid."
2. "I would say Rome because we're neck and neck in the standings.. plus that's the country my partner is from. Them and the Legion, since they drafted me."
3. "To play in the big leagues, to be an official VHL player. To fully move into Toronto and to be a potential part of history."
4. "Ya know I don't really follow American Football that much but if I had to pick.... Jets? I should do research on th- aaaaaaaaand they suck. Great."
5. "Personally not at the moment, I more so focused on the teams I'm on and more. It's a bit different when you become a VHL player because these are guys I might have scraps with in the future."
6. "Well I'll say there is not a lot of Japanese players with blonde hair and light blue eyes in the league..... yet. So if anything, I'd say Jason Robertson works fine. But there will be only 1 Isamu Knievel." -

2. "I feel f*cking hype, the team looks to have a lot of good pieces on it to make a splash in the season. This looks like a team that is gonna win games."
3. "I expect to do the same sh*t I've done in Houston but better. Less penalties for high sticks and more for roughing and fights. More points on the board, more games under my belt.. this is my first full season after all."

3. "The team that picks me first in the draft, of course."
4. "I have to say everyone. Everyone was my favorite, there was no... one person. I had fun screaming at Bill during games and even to release us before we went on the ice but I never wanna say one specific person. We were all a family, a team. They're all my favorite."
5. "I wanna travel to Colorado and do some crazy f*ckin snow tricks and sh*t. Probably Minnesota to get into some fights at the local hockey pond. Maybe looking for something to do on a Sudbury Saturday Night.."

1. "Well besides the BULLSH*T, DOGWATER, ABSOLUTE F*CKIN-" *fast forward a few minutes later* "....it was easily one of the best years of my life. I scored a goal, I had my husband in the stands watch it. I felt... like I was part of a team. I loved every second of it."
2. "You definitely did a great job as manager, you got everyone involved and showed a lot of care and appreciation for the players and the hard work. Probably don't go all in with trades and more but keep doing what you're doing... it's been a pleasure."
3. "For next season, I worked hard enough to earn myself a chance in the new European league so I'll likely be spending my time there getting my reps in and more. Moving up in the world."
4. "I'm incredibly excited, I'm genuinely losing sleep over this. I can't wait to get drafted and see how everything is, to have my loved one with me and to see where my life goes from here on."
5. "Well ever since the season ended, I just spend time at home and rest any body issues. I also got invited to this Team Asia tournament for something, I don't know but I'll check it out."

HC Davos Dynamo Press Conference
in Team Press Conferences
Posted
1. I've been working on the Blackhawks for the extra challenge of their current rebuild and managed to get them to the Stanley Cup in the second season... weird how that works huh.
4. My forum username is a bit outdated but I figure changing it now would cause some confusion. I'm a fan of some creators who go by TMG so like the good ol days of CoD, I just added part of my name in front and boom. TMGSosa lol
5. For Isamu, when creating him I was aiming for an adrenaline junkie like character. Isamu means brave and felt perfect for him. With his story, he took the last name Knievel from the legendary stunt performer, Evel Knievel, as relations with his family is complicated and this is his preferred stage name.
6. I care more for the Skills Competition but sadly that was underwhelming due to the breaks in between every performance. Sad sight honestly. Igor didn't even get to shoot during the goalie competition, he only did once.
7. The jerseys are absolutely beautiful and I am so willing to buy them.
8. Only likely if he goes to the Anaheim Ducks, which I truly believe he'll end up with the Blue Jackets.
