Swiss Central Gazzette The past season as well as post season was a mixed bag for the Janser brothers. While their team was not very successful, the Janser's were amongst the league's best in their respective positions and took on responsibility on and off the ice. They also developed into better players during their stay in the Brigade College and honed their skillsets accordingly. One could argue that being part of a team which despite epic battles is more often on the losing side than winning, that such an experience, if it does not break you, makes you stronger. The latter appears to be the case with our local heroes. We are proud to announce, that Marcel as well as Daniel attracted the attention of the Mississauga Hounds, a Canada-based VHLM-Franchise and were drafted by the Ontario team as 36th (Daniel) and 40th (Marcel) overall. Our Canadian correspondent, Jean-Luc Lieuperroux, got in touch with the brothers and received the following statements: Daniel: 'We are very excited to be picked that early, when clearly more talented players were still available. We did not expect to be drafted after only one season of College icehockey, let alone to be drafted in the same team.' Marcel: 'I think we were able to convince Mississauga's scouts by our work ethics, determination and that we put our body on the line to help the team' Marcel and Dan are both very excited for their move to Ontario and started packing as soon as they were drafted. Dan: 'I booked tickets to the Lester B. Pearson Airport the same night and Marcel was busy getting rooms in a hotel in the area. We could not help but notice that the closest airport to our new team is called after the trophy for the best player in the league, elected by their peers (now the Ted Lindsay award). We are grateful for the opportunity and the trust put in us by the Hounds and will do our best to justify same.' Marcel: 'We will say our farewells to our Brigade mates and coaching staff, from which we learned a lot in the past season. We would be sorely amiss not to extend our thanks to all members of the Brigade family for their warm welcome. We profited immensely from the professionalism and knowledge in that organization.' The Swiss Hitmen will report for training camp on Monday and are looking forward to meet their new (and old) team mates. Marcel and Daniel will re-unite with Nayt Berard, with whom they played for the Brigade. The brothers said, that they wish all the best to Towbaker (5th overall) and Karjalainen (7th overall) who were drafted in the first round by Ottawa and Yukon respectively. 'They are very talented players and sure will be an asset to their teams. But there will be no favours, once they play against us. We know most of their tricks and will do what it takes to stop them from scoring against us '. Marcel's defense partner Harry Hagel was drafted 32nd by Halifax. The brothers agreed that they were very surprised that Brendan Marner (one of the most talented draft-eligible players) was only picked at 44th by Ottawa and that his was a steal. Last but not least, Mike Hroch was chosen by Houston on 25th. 'He will like it there', said Dan. 'He never liked the cold that much and Houston has a climate which is much more agreeable to him. We wondered how a guy who chose to play icehockey can feel so bad about cold weather.' The brothers ended the interview with a remark that it was late and that they have a plane to catch in the morning. To be continued...

Swiss Central Gazzette As many of our loyal readers know, the playoffs in the Junior Showcase Tournament has begun. The Brigade qualified in the third place and faced the Royals in four games at time this article is written. When the Brigade recovered from their losing streak in the last few games, coaching staff and players alike were confident to stand a chance against their aristocratic rivals. We summarized the games for you: Game 1: Brigade-Royals 4-6 The start in the series for the Brigade was nothing short of a desaster. After 11:22 played the Brigade was down 0-4. They pulled one back before the end of the period, but the damage was done and the Royals managed to husband the comfortable lead. Our hopeful Swiss talents contributed one assist each, and Marcel (once again) led his team in hits (4), shots blocked (4) and time on ice (35:35). The Brigade's powerplay was 1/5 while the Royals had 1/2. Towbaker had an astonishing 15 shot attempts, but only scored once. Matt Avens (3g/1a) scored a hat-trick and was first star of the night, while Biggie Cheese (1g/3a) and Karjalainen (1g/1a) were 2nd and third star. The goalies both showed a better than average performance with Hroch showing a .889 und Des Aves a whopping .934 save percentage. Game 2: Brigade-Royals 3-7 As in the first match, the Brigade fell behind (this time 0-3) before they started to get on the board as well. And again the Royals could just nurse this advantage home, to win the game. For the second time in a row a hat-trick was scored against the Brigade (this time by CDS Leb). The Brigade had 0/4 powerplay to the Royals' 1/9. At least the penalty killing seemed to have worked in this game. Marcel scored no points but for the upteenth time was first of his team in shots blocked (5) and time on ice (33:12). Daniel scored a goal and an assist. To absulotely no-one's surprise, the Royals claimed all three stars for them. CDS Leb (3g/1a), Biggie Cheese (2g/1a) and Glove Dropper (1/2) were on the podium. Hroch was not in his best form with .857 of the shots saved where Des Aves recorded a .909 save percentage. Game 3: Brigade-Royals 5-3 Trailing 2-0 in the series, the Brigade made the first period their own leading 4-1 at the first intermission. Berard, Karjalainen, D. Janser and the Number 26 scored the goals. In the second period the Royals had to unanswered goals, but at 52:18 Towbraker put the nail in the coffin and brought the game home. Both goalies had a very good night with .907 (des Aves) and .932 save percentage respectively. Marcel had 0g/1a, 5 shots blocked and 33:15 minutes played (first of the team each) Daniel had 1g/1a. Game 4: Brigade-Royals 4-6 Unfortunately the momentum shifted again in Royals' favour in the fourth game of the series. It was a hard fought battle with the bitter end for the Brigade. Towbaker (2g/2a) and Marner (1g/3a) claimed 1st and 2nd Star, complemented by Godlander (2g/1a). Hroch had .893 but Des Aves topped him with .918. The powerplay was adequate (1/2) and none of the Janser Brothers contributed to the score. Marcel once again led his team in hits (4), shots blocked (4) and minutes played (34:17) Having lost the best of five series against Royals, the Brigade will have to face the Warriors in a best of five series for the third place. Marcel (clearly a Lobo fan), has been quoted after the loss: 'Ah, fragg it. With a knife at my throat and cut off hands, I fight the hardest'. We will follow up on that statement and see whether it was only pep talk, or whether the real fight has only began for the younger Janser Brother...

Swiss Central Gazette When we last wrote about our local heroes abroad, we unfortunately had to report three consecutive defeats of their team the Brigade. It seems now that the coach as well as the team's captain Daniel Janser have found a way to get the spectre of a losing mentality out of the Bridage's heads. As we hinted in our previous articles, it only took some fine tuning from the coaching staff for the Brigade to find a way back to winning games again. The first match against Steel was won 5-4 and it is comforting that now Fortuna has shown her pretty face to the Brigade as a tight game could be swung into the right direction. Marcel demonstrated again his passing skills and scored two assists, one of them for Nayt Bedard's game winning goal at the end of the third period. Do we really need to mention at this point that he was a tied first in shots blocked (3)? He was also the busiest player of the team with 32:06 minutes played. Where does he take the energy to clock so many minutes every night and getting hit by pucks as often as he does? He must have a spare lung and he reminds us of the former Swiss national football player Ludovic 'the lung' Magnin, who showed similar endurance during his career. Daniel focused on the defensive side of his game and did not make an appearance on the scoreboard. The brothers shared a 'Hanson moment' when they 'Sandwich-checked' Harkat Mulds, just as he was about to wind up for a slapshot from the dangerzone, potentially scoring the lead. Needless to say, that he not only lost his breath as well as his balance but also the puck. Same was sucked up by Marcel, who delivered it to without any further ado to Nayt Berard, which lead to the aforementioned game winner. The 'Swiss Hitmen' did not take any penalties in this game and had a +2 (Marcel) and a +1 (Daniel) rating respectively. The three stars that evening were entirely in the Brigade's hands with 1st Nikolai Kopeloi (2g/1a), 2nd Nayt Berard (2g/1a) and 3rd Marcel Janser (0g/2a). Mike Hroch had a very good game with a .911 saving percentage. We wish to mention at this point that hte Brigade's netminder is the second-best in the league, only bested by The Red Menace, who is much more experienced. if this newspaper sounds at times critical of Hroch's performances, then this is owed to the yet untapped potential and talent of this young player has displayed occasionally which let us sometimes forget that especially goalkeepers need time to spread their wings. In the rematch, the Brigade was in full control of the game from the start. The team had a field day with the not enviable Thomas Price, who was replaced by his backup Wiley Blanchette, after the former allowed 4 goals on only 9 shots after 17:11 minutes played. Austin Towbaker had the best match sofar with 4 goals to his name. Marcel and Daniel had two assists each and no penalties. Marcel once again had the most time on ice with 31:51 but had a rather lazy day when it comes to blocked shots (2). He also sported a +4 ratint (top of the team) and beat his older brother by one in that category. Mike Hroch was not able to repeat his stellar performance of the previous match and reported a .875 saving rate, which this evening was enough to beat the opponent. The three stars were 1st Austin Towbaker (4g/0a), 2nd Wattson Power (1g/2a) and Brendan Marner (0g/3a). At this stage of the season, the Brigade has the second best goalkeeper of the league with an .889 save percentage and the two best goalscorer Karjalainen (14) and Towbaker (13). With M. Janser and Marner they have two of the best passers (16 and 15 assists) respectively while Towbaker and Bedard are two of the deadliest snipers around (with 16.25% and 15.79% shot efficiency). D. Janser and Marner are amongst the best defensive forward in the league with a +9/+8 rating respectively. Karjalainen wins the most face-offs in the league. D. Janser is one of the highest scoring right wings (4g/8a) in the league despite playing on the 'wrong' side. Towbaker is top of the bunch for having scored at least one goal for the last 5 matches and having scored at least one point for the last 9 matches. All the above leads us to believe that there is a lot of talent and potential in the ragtag team and we hope they can win even more games with the newly found confidence in their abilities. Stay tuned for further updates...

Okay my bad I have not read the previous article, mea culpa

Amazing selection of teams/team names. I hate to be the guy, but Sidney, Wellington, Brisbane and Perth while close are not in Asia but are considered/are part of Australia a continent in its own right. And Congo, Nigeria, Botswana, Kenya, Tanzania, Madagascar and Zimbabwe are in Africa. One thing which is a little bit odd in my opinion is that you take City names for the Asian/Australian teams but the country names for the African ones. No issue as such, just something which caught my attention. Great Suggestions as I said. take care...

Swiss Central Gazette Since our last article our dauntless overseas journeymen played another four matches. Brigade-Warriors 3-3 In a very exciting games, the Brigade managed to draw against the top team of the league. As good as this sounds, we cannot help but feel that the team missed an opportunity for an even better result. The Brigade was never behind and at one point led by two goals and only allowed the tying goal 47 seconds before the final horn, when the Warriors in an act of desperation pulled their netminder. It was also a game where the Brigade's netminder Mike Hroch showed an outstanding performance with save percentage of .935, and we think he was short changed for not even getting nominated for the 3 Stars of the match. The Janser brothers performed well, this time Daniel dishing the puck via the board behind the net for Marcel to score a highlight reel slapshot top shelf above the goalkeepers shoulder on the blocker side. 6 minutes earlier he scored himself with a wrap around. The older brother also was penalised with a minor for highsticking, but no powerplay evolved, as he took the Warriors' Ernie King Jr with him in the sin bin for interference. Marcel finished the game with one goal, no penalties, a -1 rating, 4 shots blocked (1st of the team) and 35:30 minutes on ice (also 1st of the team) Daniel has one goal, one assist for two points (1st of the team), +1 rating (tied first), 2 shots blocked (2nd of the team) and the two aforementioned penalty minutes to his name Royals-Brigade 6-3 The Brigade lost their match against the Royal unambiguous with 6-3. The match was given away in the second period, when the Royals managed to score four unanswered goals (one of which a power play following an alleged High Sticking from Daniel Janser). The final period was won 2-1 but it was too little, too late to turn the match around. Unfortunately, Mike Hroch was not able to repeat his last match's incredible performance and only had a saving rate of .846. Consistency has been a problem for the young goaltender and maybe it is too early for him to shoulder the burden of the netminder position on his own. Many Goalies had a bounce back, once they could rely ona a decent backup goalkeeper to take over once they are exhausted. The clear star of the match was Royals' Nils Godlander who scored a hattrick and was deservedly named first Star. Marcel was credited with one goal, zero penalties, 2 shots blocked (tied first of the team), 30:19 minutes played (2nd of the team), 5 hits (1st of the team) and a +1 rating Daniel contributed one assist, 2 penalty minutes, 21:32 minutes played (2nd amongst forwards) and a +1 rating (tied first) Brigade-Steel 6-8 As the score would suggest, this was a rollercoaster of a game, with both goalkeepers apparently taking a day off (Hroch .863, Price .0860). Both teams were very disciplined and took almost no penalties. The Brigade pulled the goalkeeper at 59:12 when the game was 7-6, but unfortunately the risk did not pay out and they were scored against 59:49 after they had two big chances to score themselves, but were robbed by Thomas Price, who blocked both shots without a rebound. Brigade's Nayt Berard scored a hattrick and was named first star of the night. Marcel Janser was recorded with one assist, no penalties, a balance +/- rating, 4 hits (tied 2nd of the team), 4 shots blocked (first of the team) and 32:49 minutes played (2nd of the team) Daniel Janser has one goal, 3 hits (tied third of the team) and also a 0 rating to his name. Steel-Brigade 7-3 On this rematch the Brigade had a bad start and were trailing for the majority of the game. Steel was never in any danger whatsoever to lose this match. Despite Daniel's best efforts to bring some grit to the match by 'Kronwalling' Juice Box and levelling Bradley Buzzer shortly after (both checks were clean hits and the players could play on) it was not enough to turn the match around. They gave away too many penalties and according were scored twice against when being one man short. And while Mike Hroch performed similar like the match before (.887), Thomas Price decided to show up today and had a .927 saving percentage. Having said that Price had to only face 38 shots, while Hroch had 62 shots against him. Marcel had one assist, a balanced rating, a minor for roughing, 3 shots blocked (tied third) and 32:13 minutes played (1st) Daniel had no points, a balanced rating, a minor for hooking, 4 hits (tied first) and 6 shots on goal (tied third) Karjalainen is still the top goal scorer of the league (12 goals in 10 games), while Marcel Janser is 3rd in average time on ice (almost 30min per game) and second in shots blocked (44). Looking at the last four matches, Brigade is 0 for 6 powerplay, which certainly has a lot of room for improvement. In fact their PP is the worst in the league and the penalty killing is the second worst. Not all is bad news for the Jansers though, as Daniel has been contacted by a further franchise from the VHLM. He has stubbornly refused to name the organization in question and pointed out that nothing is cast in stone. We hope that the tide will turn for the Brigade and that they will find a way to win close games again.

Swiss Central Gazette We understand from our overseas correspondent that Daniel Janser was called into the coaches office after the two losses against the Warriors. Dan did not look happy and dreaded a dressing down, as he felt that he failed to inspire the team to do better than they did. He was wondering whether the captaincy would be taken from him. The opposite was the case. The coach was happy with Dan's consistency and just wanted to break the good news that he made the first line up. Apparently. Karjalainen could do with a winger with a defensive conscience. The Swiss native was on cloud seven, he did not expect to make such an impression in such a short period of time. To the games played: The first game was won 6-3. Marcel and Daniel contributed 3 and 1 assist respectively and Marcel led the team in shots blocked (5). Daniel's pass to Karjalainen was especially remarkable as it was a pin-point Hail Mary pass which enabled the latter to go one-on-one against the netminder and left him no chance with a brilliantly executed deke, that made Forsberg famous. Karjalainen scored a hattrick and was named 1st Star of the night. Austin Towbreaker with 4 assists and Brendan Marner with 2 goal to his name were named 2nd and 3rd Star. We also wish to appreciate Mike Hroch's solid performance with a .919 save percentage. Unfortunately, the thrill did not last for long as the following game was lost 3-4 Dan made it finally to the sin bin, when he was for once out of position and had to deploy unfair means to stop an opposing attacker on a rush. Later on Marcel also was left with no alternative than to trip his opposite number. Luckily, the Royals could not score on either powerplay. Again Hroch showed a respectable performance (.902) but his opposite number The Red Menace did one better (.929). Karjalainen is leading the league in goals (10) as well as points (15, tied with Royals' Biggie Cheese), Marcel is tied 3rd in assists and is leader in shots blocked (31, his body must be bruised from head to toe). He is also third in TOI with over 28 minutes per match. We are confident that this young team will learn from the 3 very close defeats and do better in the future. Shortly before cut off time, rumours reached us that Daniel's consistent play so far attracted the attention of not only one but two Franchises in the VHLM. As this is still a unfolding stories, the respective franchises need to be unnamed for the time being.

Swiss Central Gazette Last time we reported about our intrepid heroes Marcel and Daniel Janser, their team had a 1-1 record against the Royals. We heard from a reliable and well informed source that the two brothers had a one-on-one talk in the locker room immediately after the final whistle of the second game. According to such unnamed insider, the talk, despite being held behind locked doors, was neither secretive nor composed. The team, who could not understand was being said on account of the brothers arguing in their native Swiss-German, feared that it would come to blows. However, ten minutes later Marcel and Daniel came back to the team with a smile on their faces. We approached Daniel and asked him what was being said and he stated that this will stay between Marcel and him. He assured us that the matter is settled and that Marcel promised to curb his enthusiasm for pursuing the fine art of pugilism. In the interim the team has played another two games and the Jansers seem to settle into the team the longer, the better. Marcel kept his promise and only served 3 minor penalties in the sin bin and was not involved in any further brawls. As if a further proof was needed, that the relationship between Marcel and Daniel is golden, Daniel scored his first goal for his new team in a powerplay on a pass from his younger sibling. Marcel circled the net and made a blind backhand pass from 'Wayne's office' on Daniel's stick, who only had to tap in after his rush to the slot. Such uncanny understanding of each others mind reminds us of the Sedin twins. But Dan had had not enough yet. Ten minutes later he scored in PP again, by deflecting Patrick Jansen's shot from the blueline to make the game 3-2. Unfortunately, the Warriors came back in the third period with two unanswered goals and won the game 3-4. The Brigade coach took his time out and pulled the goaltender, but to no avail. Daniel was named 3rd Star of the game. The Warriors had the better PP this night plus a goalkeeper who thwarted many of Brigade's attempts. In the second game of the series the Brigade lost again with only one goal difference, this time 4-5. This time it was Marcel's time to shine. He scored his first goal for the team in the PP to equalize the game 4-4. He took a slapshot from the blueline which Daniel skilfully screened, so Ali Des Aves had no chance to see the shot coming, let alone parry it. Kyosti Karjalainen was on fire and deservedly made the first star this night. Again Ali Des Aves had the better of Mike Hroch, but the latter's performance was by no means bad. Marcel is leading his team in penalties, shots blocked and assists. He is also second in time on ice (after fellow defenseman Harry Hagel) as well as scoring (1g/7a) behind Karjalainen (6g/4a). Unfortunately, he is on the tail end with the +/- rating with -9. His brother has a +2, and has still no penalty minutes to his name. Marcel appears the more flashy and entertaining player so far, whereas Dan is more consistent and shutting the opposition down with allowed means. The Brigade is unfortunately at the bottom of the league, but we are confident that with the positive development of our exports, they will rebound and improve their standings. We will return with more news in due course, stay tuned...

Swiss Central Gazzette As our regular readers know the Rotkreuz-native brothers Marcel (17) and Daniel Janser (18) ventured to North America to increase their draft chances into the best league in the world. In a last minute trade Marcel Janser’s rights were sent to Brigade from Warriors in exchange for future considerations. Both players are rather on the defensive side of the game with Daniel being a grinder and puck-mucker, while Marcel is a gritty shut-down defender. Shortly after arriving at the Brigade, Daniel was named Captain, an unusual honour for Swiss born players in North America (Streit, Hischier and Josi being the exception from the rule). Brigade played two games against the Royals and lost the first one 8-10 and and won the second one 4-2. The teams did not exchange flower bouquets in these two matches to say the least. Marcel alone got involved in three fights for a total of 25 penalty minutes. He also showed uncommon passing skills by contributing 5 assists in these two matches. Apparently Swiss coaches did not see this talent when he played in the domestic league. In game two, Marcel suffered a game misconduct halfway into the 2nd Period for his third fight this night, venting some of the pent up frustration over the defeat of the previous game. Apparently the referees have had enough of his shenanigans. Despite being the leader in PIM, he also shouldered the second-most TOI of his entire team, showing a negative 5 in the +/- rating. While a case can be made that Marcel showed outstanding grit and passing skills as well as stamina, we are sure his captain and older brother will have a stern talk-to about when and how to pick a fight, as the border between being a gritty player and a liability to one’s team is thin. Especially since the Brigade’s PK could use some tweaking as every third penalty lead to a goal against. The coach certainly has his work cut out for him. Nevertheless, Marcel left a mark in the game (as well as in his opponents faces) and we are convinced that with the proper training and with increasing experience, he will develop in a reliable defensive Defenseman with upside on the scoring side and time will tell whether he is the poor man’s ‘Tiger’ Williams or Ken Baumgartner. Daniel did only score two assists in the first two games of the season, but is credited with a positive two in the +/- department. He has a clean sheet when it comes to penalties, obviously keeping his temper in better check then his younger brother. He also had more checks (3) than his sibling (2). We would be amiss to not mention the performances of topscorer Kyosti Karjalainen who contributed 4 goals and 3 assists for seven points and Austin Towbraker who is top goalscorer with 5 goals to his name. Both players were huge assets for the Brigade in the last two games. The netminder Mike Horch was not exactly stellar with a save percentage of 0.881 but given the fact that he had to face over a hundred shots in these two games means he was not the only one to blame. Especially in the second game he made up with an impeccable performance compared to the previous game (.963 vs .787) with comparable shots faced (54 vs 47) and was deservedly named first star of the night. We will follow the saga of our two local heroes closely and keep our readers in the loop.

1- Are you exited to be part of the Brigade? Yes I am, everyone is welcoming and members of the other teams participate in friendly banter. 2- How do you expect your player to do in the sim? Do you you want him to be more offensive, defensive or more like an enforcer? I hope Dan is bringing something to the table for his team. He is a two-way winger. 3- Is the VHL the first simulation hockey league you have been part to? Yes it is. 4-Do your player have any pregame ritual or any pregame meal? He is only kissing his necklace pendant of St. Jude for good luck (and maybe some protection) 5- Do you like how the Discord is managed? Do you have any suggestions to improve the Discord or our team locker room? So far I have no suggestions how to improve as all the are very friendly and helpful. 6- Last one. An off topic question. Which one do you like the most: waterslide or roller coaster? waterslide, I can't stand the sensation of my tummy hopping in my throat.

what do you think about being drafted or signed to the steel? Do you like the teams so far? I have been drafted to Brigade, but everyone on the server in the locker room is very chilled (with friendly banter) and helpful For those of you who are new, what do you think of the VHL so far? And for you older players, what’s you favorite part of the VHL? I think it is a great idea to play several 'generations' of players. there is a lot to learn and to get used to. If you could rename the steel what would you name the team? Brigade What are you goals for you player in the showcase tournament? to develop into a useful two-way player and to get drafted as early as possible and to help his team to win. Do you think the steels have what it takes to win the showcase? It is difficult to say at this moment, but I think every team has a chance to the cup and teams will have to give their all to get there, Sam’s chicken nugget madness has found it way in to the discord. Do you like chicken Nuggets? And what’s the best dip for the chicken Nuggets? I do like chicken nuggets and for me the best dip is Cocktail sauce (Thousand Island sauce for some). I know boring.

Daniel Janser is minuscule player for the sport of hockey. He was born one winter night 18 years ago, to two hard working parents. Neither of them could skate, so his first encounter was only in school when there was a school outing to the local ice rink. That was when he became enthralled with skating as soon as his rented blades touched the ice. A natural observer, he watched closely the other people on the ice and learned by mimicking them. It turned out that he was a natural skater, and by the end of the day, he was able to break and reverse skate. Of course these were only the first strides and he kept going to the icerink whenever time and pocket money would allow. It was not before long when he noticed kids playing pond hockey and he was fascinated by it. Being rather shy and keeping himself to himself it took him months to build up the courage to ask the other kids whether he can join in. First, the other kids only took him in as they were one player short, as one of the regulars had an injury. They thought he was rather skinny, but once they saw his speed and agility on the ice, they saw the errors of their ways. It did not take them long, to drag Dan to the local Hockey team. Again, the coaches thought of him as too timid and too lightweight to pursue the sport. But as soon as he touched the ice, he transformed from the shy, quiet, nice boy into a determined, no-nonsense and fearless player. He compensates his somewhat lackluster size and weight with speed, hockeysense and ferocity. He became a very efficient two-way winger and puck-mucker and always inspires his linemates to do one better than in the last shift. He plays smart but is not afraid to play hard as well. Whereas his determination and hockeysense is above average, he has not found his scoring knack yet and prefers to feed his line mates rather than shoot himself. He can play defence as well as winger and may fill in the role of a stop-gap center as well. Dan prefers to work against the puck rather than with it and takes extrem satisfaction to block shots, poke the puck away from an attacker, intercepting passes and get the occasional rush on a box-play. He does not lose faith even in the most dire situations but can get distracted/provoked if his sense for justice is triggered by foul and unfair play.
