1. Stockholm is red hot to start the season!! What do you think is the key reason the Vikings look as great as they do right now?

 

2. What player do you feel is flying under the radar right now, but deserves more credit for the Vikings' strong play?

 

3. When you reach the VHL, what type of situation will you find yourself in to begin your pro career?

 

4. What is a sport that is not currently an Olympic event (winter or summer) that you think really should be?

 

5. Do you prefer a quiet, laid-back workplace or a noisy, busy one?

 

6. What defunct VHL or VHLM franchise really should come back when the time is right?

1. I would say that teamwork and synergy is a key reason. But I also have to give credit to the teams top players who are just playing at their best right now. 
 

2. I honestly have to say Thor. I mean he’s gotten a point in some way or form with almost every person on this team. 
 

3. no clue yet, I have still at least one more season in the VHLE before moving up.

 

4. honestly I don’t know. 
 

5. a mix of both. 
 

6. don’t know if any tbh

2. What new addition to Stockholm will make the biggest difference this season?

 

3. Twists approaches you and tells you're in charge of picking the theme song for the Season 88 Stockholm Vikings. What are you choosing?

 

4. What is your favorite emoji in the Stockholm Discord?

 

5. Twists liked your choice for the theme song, so now he's put you in charge of his date with Blazzer. What are your big plans for it?

 

6. What is the dumbest VHL player name you've ever seen?

1. No prediction since I’m not trying to jinx anything

 

2. I will say the addition of some of the prospects will help with the playoff run

 

3. Feel invincible by skillet 

 

4.I don’t use emojis too much….

 

5.  If it’s a romantic date, I would say a trip to Hells Kitchen is a always a good time

For Week Ending March 26th, 2023

 

1. The big news in Stockholm this weekend was the announcement of the Vikings' new General Manager, @twists. What's the biggest thing that he should know as he starts his tenure with the team?

 

2. Stockholm also welcomed some guy called @Doomsday as the new Assistant General Manager. One of his previous players, Jack Kowalski, was the first draft pick of the Stockholm Vikings during their VHL stint, and his current player, Oskar Lindbergh, played for the Vikings team during the very first games of the VHLE in the off-season tourney. Does this prior connection to the franchise have any meaning to you?

 

3. Current Stockholm defenseman Jacob Stone @scoop is projected to be the first overall pick in the Season 88 VHL Entry Draft. Do you think he makes the jump to the VHL right away, or does he have one more season left with the Vikings?

 

4. The Vikings don't have much in the way of draft picks this season, so in what way do you see Stockholm finding a way to improve from last season?

 

5. What's something that in your opinion would make the VHLE a better experience?

 

6. Boneless wings: are they real wings or just a fancy chicken nugget?

1.  While I don’t about the team since I just got moved up from the minors, I myself have high expectations as Twists is a current player for my old minors team. 
 

2. of course, every team has a great player that contributed a lot. It just means that the franchise means something to him. 
 

3. I hope he has one more season left with us, but most likely the team that drafts him already has plans for him. 
 

4. well I would have to say that the Vikings would just have to use a combination of their veteran players and their prospects. 
 

5. as of right now, nothing since I just got called up and haven’t played a single game yet. 
 

6. While I do enjoy boneless wings since I’m a guy that likes food in general, but to me , they are a just a bit like a fancy chicken nugget..

LAS VEGAS ACES PRESS CONFERENCE

1. If your player was drafted in the JST, do you feel like your team can win it? If not, are you keeping up with the JST?

2. How is your off-season going so far?

3. What’s next for your player? (VHLM draft, VHLE, VHL?)

4. Are you excited for the WJC approaching?

5. Who is winning the VHLM, Ottawa or Mexico?

6. If you could change one thing about your player, what would it be?

 

additional question: Do you think Juan Ceson re-signs with us?

1. I’ll probably not pay attention to the JST. 
2. off season is pretty quiet, just earning TPE and contemplating career choices. 
3. possibly the VHLE or, stay one more season in the VHL.

4. Depends.

5. Ottawa 

6. Probably up my passing stats more to create better offensive plays

7. don’t know, it was a struggle to get him to resign in the first place for this season, so it all depends on his agent and management.

LAS VEGAS ACES PRESS CONFERENCE

 

1. Las Vegas made the playoffs and lost to Mexico in a 5 game series. Are you happy with this result?

2. As a follow up question, do you think we could have done any better?

3. How do you feel your player performed during our short run?

4. How was Juan Ceson's leadership? Did it play a role in our win?

5. You are likely going into the draft, what team do you expect to go to? If you were already drafted, is the VHLE next for you?

6. How was your experience with Las Vegas this season? How can we improve?

1. Yeah, I mean we made the playoffs. Not to mention we stole a game from the Kings so can’t be too unhappy about that. 
 

2. For a rebuilding team, I would say no. My expectations were that we get swept so anything is better. 
 

3. Eh, can’t be disappointed. Ivan got 6 points  in the playoffs so at least he wasn’t a complete ghost. 
 

4. Juan’s Leadership was great. If we didn’t have him, we probably would’ve been swept. 
 

5. let’s see….

 

6. I feel like my first full season in Vegas was great. I can’t really complain.

Las Vegas Aces Press Conference Week Ending 3/5!!

 

1. The Aces have hired Viper as the new AGM after Jason stepped down from a wonderful and great career here, what are your thoughts on Jason’s time here and the new AGM?

2. We have been picking up some wins as we approach the end of the season, do you think we can keep up this pace?

3. Is your player performing as you had hoped this season?

4. Would you have liked to see more from the team at the deadline, or was our quiet deadline a good move?

5. Our captain, Juan Ceson, has been playing pretty well lately, and words for your captain?

6. Everyone’s favorite, Twists, is back. How thrilled are you to see the long-awaited return?

1. I enjoyed Jason’s time as the AGM in the Aces, it certainly was fun and chaotic in the locker room. As for viper, he’s consistent with his responsibilities so I have a positive view of him so far. 
 

2. I would say that we can keep up the pace. We have some talented young new players and some tough veterans on the team. 
 

3. my player is performing as expected and hoped. I mean 71 points so far for my official full rookie season isn’t bad. 
 

4.for me, it all depends on the move that’s being made. 
 

5. keep it up and knock teeth out while your at it!

 

6. Honestly, I don’t know the player well enough, however, it’s exciting to see a vet back !

LAS VEGAS ACES PRESS CONFERENCE

 

1. As you may know, Jason has stepped down as AGM. What is your favourite thing about/memory of Jason? If you don't know Jason that well, write a message wishing him luck in his new adventures or something similar.

2. What is one thing (or more) you would like to see in or from your new AGM? 

3. There are rumours of a spy in the locker room. Who are you suspicious of? Is your player the spy? Who is the spy spying for?

4. Juan Ceson is currently first in number of games played for the Las Vegas Aces. Unfortunately, he is 8th all time in points and second last in points this season. Do you have any advice for how he could earn more points? 

5. What is your favourite (real) sports team and why? (Bonus points if you pick the Atlanta Thrashers) (not really I can't give bonus points)

6. Do you think the Aces need an actual mascot? If so, what should it be and what is its name?

@shaun1979 @Starchychaff @StoneWallGoalie077 @The Goblin @Taro Tsujimoto @Kmatt @ScottyP @Grant @diamond_ace @Ian Ertmann

 

1. Well favorite memory has to be when we talked about trade rumors for the NHL teams.

it was nice to talk to another hockey fan. Also good luck Jason on your endeavors! 
 

2. I would say probably interact with the players and locker room more socially speaking. 
 

3. as usual and per tradition, I would say cole is the spy! #blamecole 

 

4. Improve on his passing since Juan is a great defenseman defensive wise. He just needs to improve in his passing so he can get more assists when the forwards score and get more points 

 

5. I’m a fan of the Vegas Knights and also the Seattle kraken. 
 

6. well every hockey team has a mascot of some sort. Don’t know about what the mascot should be, but I feel like the name should be lucky as per the Vegas theme

4) Do you like the idea of VHLM having a All Star Week?

 

5) Do you think we can make the playoffs?

 

6) Imagine that the whole world is listening to you for a minute. What would you say?

1. I really don’t know since his mood is always changing which makes it a bit chaotic but fun in the locker room 

 

2. Well team relationships are based on team rivalries so the idea is a good one 

 

3. I honestly don’t know since the trades can be rather unpredictable so I’m not even gonna bother 

 

4. Yes, since it’s able to show off the best prospects from each VHLM team 

 

5. no since we are a rebuilding team. There isn’t much of a chance 

 

6. EVERYBODY DANCE NOW !!!

5) What VHLM logo is your least favorite, why?

 

6) Would you rather live (permanently) in a roller coaster or a zoo?

1. I like it since it gives it a more simple but more eye catching name. Similar to apple’s apple logo

 

2. I like the lineup, however since we are a rebuilding team, we have to change it in order to see what works best. 
 

3. I would say either my shooting abilities or my stick handling abilities

 

4. probably bottom 4 which makes sense for a rebuilding team. 
 

5. I would have to say the Saskatoon wild logo just because it’s way to similar to the Nashville predator logo

 

6. I would choose the zoo since I prefer animals over oil and grease any day

5. I would say my nickname would be jack of all trades since I’m able to produce points with any line my manager puts me in.

3) Which VHLM team do you think are our rivals?

1. I definitely want Juan to resign with Vegas as he and I had a good thing going. We complimented each others play styles. 
 

2. I don’t think I’m ready for the 1st lineup yet given my jst performance. I think I’m skilled enough to be on the 2nd line. 
 

3. currently I’m gonna have to say San Diego since they’re trying to steal/ or already stolen Juan from Vegas from what I’ve heard

 

4. I’m gonna have to say the marlins as they have a impressive lineup of players and they were last seasons champs 

 

5. currently I don’t know since I have yet to see the new team in action. 
 

6. if I can dis-invent one thing it would have to be tiktok. I honestly can’t stand it

For Week Ending January 29th

 

Answer 3 questions for 1 TPE, and answer all 6 for 2!

3. Which VHLE team do you think has the best chance of winning it all this year?

 

4. If you participated in one of the off-season tournaments that took place (Pro-Am/JST/WJC), how was/is it going for you? If you didn’t, what are your thoughts on those tournaments?

 

5. Would you rather live somewhere hot or cold- why?

 

6. What has been your favorite part of 2023 so far?

1. I would expect my player to be able to produce more offensive wise and get more points compared to my rookie season in the VHLM

 

2. I don’t really have a person that I modeled my player after.

 

3. I’m hoping the Vikings do this upcoming season. 
 

4. the JST tournament was rather enlightening as it showed what my player needed to improve on.

 

5. I rather live somewhere cold since the heat always drives me nuts. Can’t stand the heat whatsoever 

 

6. so far the best part of 2023 for me was when I poke checked a puck away from a player who was gonna perform a slap shot and instead I made him break his stick.
