    Answer these questions for 2 Capped TPE

    To claim: Capped TPE -> Press Conferences and link your response to this weeks presser

    18/7 - 25/7

     

    1. The regular season is on the horizon! Vegas is looking to bounce back after a rather dismal season, how excited are you in helping bring us back to glory?
    2. Vegas has a motto of "TRADE THE PICKS, TRUST THE PROCESS." A motto which involves trading most of our future draft picks for a win now scenario. Is this a good motto? Is this a good mentality? (Keep in mind that we've already lost our 1st and 2nd round pick for next season :kekw: )
    3.  What do you think our team's strengths and weaknesses are? What would you do in order to improve on our weaknesses?
    4. This is the last season before the VHLE is set to debut! Are you excited for the VHLE? How would it effect both the VHL and the VHLM?
    5. The Las Vegas Aces have not won a cup since S64. Is it time we finally break that cup drought?
    6. Which do you prefer? Tea, hot chocolate, or coffee?

    1. Although I'm brand new to the team, I hope that I can help the team reach new heights and hopefully be a greater team than before!
    2. I think that the motto and the general direction that the team is going in is ultimately up to the GMs, and they certainly know better about how to form a team better than I can.
    3. I think that in the locker room, we have great camaraderie, and I've gotten to know a few players in my short time on the time. I think if we can funnel that camaraderie into chemistry on the ice, then we will be very successful.
    4. I'm very excited for the introduction of the VHLE. I think that the league will introduce new fans to the sport and hopefully bring more attention to our league.
    5. We shall see! I'm definitely going to be trying my hardest to get us there.
    6. Coffee all the way!

    Review: Looks really fantastic! The color choice is on point, and I love the way that the player fades into the background. In addition, adding music was a nice touch! It may just be me, but the "Ryan" part in cursive is a bit difficult for me to read. It's probably just because I'm terrible at reading cursive. Overall, really fantastic work! 10/10 from me!

    Review: Really interesting article! The image at the top is fantastic and your word choice is great! I did notice there were a few grammatical errors and missing punctuation, but they didn't really take anything away from the story. Overall, great work, and best of luck in the tournament!

    Nicholas Corrigan Junior Review

    in Hello Europe

    Posted · Edited by scottisheyebrow
    Adding a couple words and an image.

    Ever since his uncle introduced him to the game of hockey by taking him to a Halifax 21st game at a young age, Nicholas Corrigan was hooked. "Seeing the speed and skill of the players at this level was mind-blowing, and I knew that I immediately needed to be a part of that world." We caught up with Nick at his childhood home, an older apartment in the Clayton Park neighborhood. "Growing up here was tough, I'm not going to sugarcoat it. Lots of societal issues with violence and drug use. Now, the population seems to be expanding and more property is being built here, so it's been an amazing shift to watch." Nicholas still lives with his mom Nancy; he tries to support her in any way he can as she grows older. He grew up without a father ("I don't even know who he is or where he is,") but joining his local hockey team with a little bit of financial support from the community filled in that role for him. He shows me around his small but charming childhood room, the shelves filled with trophies from the many tournaments he participated in. Nick grabs an older looking trophy and dusts it off with his free hand. "This one was one of my first trophies." He laughs. "I remember getting the wind knocked out of me in the finals, running into the boards at full speed. Felt like I was going to die right then and there, but Fleecie helped me up and told me to get back out there."

     

    Paul Fleece was the coach of Nicholas' team growing up in Halifax, and while he is no longer a member of the local leagues, he volunteers and has seen Nick's progress for many years. "I always knew that kid was going to go somewhere. He always worked as hard as he could to help the team, and I think his teammates appreciated that." Paul explains. "Nick just wanted to be faster than everyone, always wanted to race." He chuckles. "I'm proud of him."

     

    Nick's work ethic and skill seem to have placed him in a good spot, as various teams have approached him ahead of this year's VHLM draft. He laughs and blushes as we bring it up to him. "Yeah, it's pretty crazy. I'm just so humbled that these people are even talking to me. I'm blessed regardless of what happens during the draft. Just happy to be seen in such a positive light."
