Yukon Rush Press Conference
(Aug 16th )
Welcome to the Yukon Rush Press Conference for Aug 16th, 2021, where the press ask hopefully six very important question and the players on the team are free to answer the question. Answer three question of 1 TPE and/or Answer all 2 TPE.
1. The team has lost the past six game; What are you as a player going to do to try to stop the skid?
I have to be more present on the ice, especially on the end where I was signed on to play, defense. I'm working on my PIMs so that I don't create shorthanded situations on the ice.
2. Losing six game can be tough; what is your overall mood about the team at the moment?
Im optimistic about what is to come. Being new to the team, a lot of the things that I thought I knew on the ice was at a completely different pace, so I get to remember to breathe and focus. Things will get better.
3. What has been the bright spot during the six game skid?
The bright spot for me is the optimism that the team has towards each other and the game. Looking at everyone in the locker room in between the games, no one was completely writing off the squad and saying we were done. We knew things would turn around.
4. Trade deadline should be right around the corner are you nervous or excited for the trade deadline? Why?
Im excited for the trade deadline because that is the opportunity to see some fresh faces, and create new chemistry with everyone.
5. Talking about trade Huston traded away all their players in the past few weeks; what do you think about playing only Bot players?
I dont think there is a difference between bot players and regular players at this moment in my interactions on the ice. As I progress, things with bots will become ever present in my game, and it will hopefully become easier and easier.
6. Riddle: What has to be broken before you can use it?
Even though I saw that someone answered Egg, the morbid answer I would like to add is your head!

Sit down, grab yourself a pint, and perk up to the historie of Thorr Skjeggestad.
The stick chimes down on the frozen end of the fjord, sending shockwaves throughout the barren makeshift ice rink. The furniture factory, Ekornes, where he grew up putting together lounge chairs with his parents Oscar and Thea, is in the far-off distance. Thoughts of Mats Johnsson rush through his mind, as he plays through his last moment in the made-up game in his head. Final minute of the game, and he rushes the empty net at the far end of the Fjord. He dekes left and right and raises his stick to take a long slapper from the point but corrals the biscuit and skates closer and closer to the net, 20 seconds. Sweat is dripping down his brow and freezing as it hits the ice of the fjord, he skates forward and shaves ice into the imaginary defender, takes a deep breath, and snaps the puck into the top right corner of the net, it shoves the net off its empty paper towel roll moorings. The head crowd goes insane.
Thorr grew up loving hockey, and Norse Mythology, in the little town of Ikornnes, Norway. He was born to Oscar and Thea Skjeggestad (pronounced Skah-jegg-eh-stad) and grew up with his little brother Lokhi working in the family furniture business. Living on a body of water, that is constantly frozen, gave Thorr ample opportunity to hone his game, to build icemen and practice his stick moves, and hits. Since Lokhi was too much of a wimp to be the Guinea Pig. Thorr had one dream, and one dream only to be the best damn hockey player he could be.
When Thorr turned 11, Oscar traveled all around Norway and Sweden playing in pick-up games, and soon came across an introductory league in Drammen, Norway: The Gulskogen Junior Hockey League. The GJHL was fierce competition for Thorr being so close to Oslo, and the big market. Oscar spared no expense in hiring a personal hockey coach, Odin Balder. He was a defensive legend in Norway, and Odin instilled the proper knowledge in Thorr to become a new style of defender: The Aggressive Enforcer. The tenets of the style is to show your prowess and strength on both sides of the ice, but also be aware of the surroundings to create offensive opportunities, for self and team. Thorr adapted the style and made it his own for the next 7 years of the GJHL, ending with 66 goals, 85 assists, 530 blocks, and 596 Hits.
The numbers caught the attention of the GM of the Yukon Rush, DomG5, and he quickly offered a contract to Thorr. After very little deliberation, Thorr accepted the contract and joined the team immediately. He is looking forward to experiencing the VHLM and growing as a player to maybe become the next Mats Johnsson. Then he will have his Mjolnir.
