Hello Worldladies, Worldgentlemen and other beautiful Worldpeeps! In case you need a press conference for this week or the next one, here is one for you. Feel free to answer 3 questions for 1 capped TPE or all 6 questions for 2 capped TPE. 1. Welcome to the World Junior Championship. Did you expect your player to be a part of this tournament? 2. There's no doubt we're one of the underdog teams, even though I can promise you I'll do my best so that our opponents don't see us as such. What are your experiences of being an underdog, either you ir your player? 3. What's your favorite memory related to international hockey or international sport of any kind? 4. How did your draft go a few days ago? Were you selected in the position you expected? 5. What would you like to see your player's role be on our team? 6. What are your expectations about this tournament, member-wise, player-wise and team-wise? @v.2 @xNJDevilsFanx @Spartakiller2 @David VanHousen @Itz_Viperz @Jason 2.0 @Tyler @Xhekajsleftankle @twists @Hacob @Breeze837 @TheHockey_pro @Bigb33 @TenIQ

Found the clue!

@preds @VOID Stiles @Zurgzz @Halflemming @ThunderCloud You guys aren't in the Discord locker room, right? Would you like to be pinged when posting these? Really quick and easy way to get extra 2 TPE per week!

So, the VHL granted me the honor of being one of the general managers of the development league. It is my first full-time GM position. I had GMed at a few tournaments before, as well as a short stint as an AGM with @STZ's Houston - where, to be honest, I didn't feel like I did a good job. But STZ believed in me and said I'd do well as a GM, so I didn't give up. There was a little bit of an obstacle between me abd becoming a GM, and that's the fact an STHS client can only run on a Windows 10/11 device, which I didn't own. I don't know what was the sudden wave motivation, but one day I just said screw it, and bought a second hand laptop with Windows for the sole purpose of giving GMing a try. With this sorted out, I knew I didn't want to GM in the VHLM right away, but rather start in the VHLE (R.I.P.) or in the top league for a simple reason - I didn't feel confident enough to be the first GM first generation players work with. But this perception has since changed, obviously, mostly thanks to @Ricer13. I was his AGM at the JST two seasons ago (I think), and I actually found it fun being around new members. Kind of a 180 turn for me. Even though it later came to light Grog wasn't a first gen, but rather Achilles's multi account. Anyway, STZ and Ricer are the people most responsible for me finally deciding to give it a go, along with @jacobcarson877 trusting me enough to let me in the inner circle both in London and in Houston, a team I didn't play for. So what has happened in Mexico so far? Out of the blue, @Agito offered his help as an AGM. It was a strange coincidence, because I had not planned to actively post a job interview, but rather to dm a few people whom I know and trust and who are currently not GMing or AGMing and tell them I'd be happy to have them on board, in case they were interested. And Agito was one of those people, we have some history together from my first gen player's VHLE stint. I was so happy he came back. Currently, the draft is set to start in a few hours. It's past 9 p.m. for me, I'll try to get 3 hours of sleep before the draft. No way I'm missing my first draft as a GM. Last few days were revolving around scouting close to everyone in the draft class and creating a draft board, which is coming together nicely. Why close to everyone rather than just everyone? There were 5 or so players who have either looked like going IA already, or did not fit the plans. But the biggest news so far have been Ronan Amnon @Breeze837 and Carl Erhardt @Elite Steel having to leave for free agency. Both were at the moment the highest TPE players on the roster, and both are defensemen. I'm sure they will find great spots for the next season. No matter which team they end up playing for, I wish them both the best. That's all for this week. Next up: draft and free agency.

Dixon in the M, now that's a blast from the past! Same draft class as my first gen lol
