Thank you for having me on this press conference, I’ll try to answer each question as best as I can!
1. My name is Ondrej Vencko (Ondra, for normal communicaton, hehe), I come from the Czech Republic and I play a goaltender. My career so far has been interesting, as you will soon get to know from my biography that I’m finishing. The most notable fact about me is that, apart from hockey, I love music, movies and art in general. I like going to galleries, but also writing poems, stories and I play bass guitar as well. In the offseason, you can find me at some rock/metal gigs.
2. Well, this is my first season in the league in my life, so I don’t want to aim too high. But my expectations are to catch up with how things work around here and prove myself to the team, coach, GM and most importantly: to the fans. It is a pleasure being here.
And if the season ends with me giving signatures to the fans who will want it, it will be a great, great personal success of mine.
3. Hehe, well, as I’ve joined „late“ (even though it is never too late to join the league, you, who are deciding whether to join or not to join, DO IT), I was not really drafted in a proper draft. Instead, I joined through the waivers. But Houston was my go to team. Especially because of the GM, whom I’ve met with shortly before the draft and he had a very positive effect on me. Really lovely guy, glad I can be in his team! (love ya, AJ)
4. That is really tough.. A lot of people don’t eat meat nowadays, so you gotta keep it in mind..
Even though it is a BBQ after all.. I’d probably go for a fish done in the style of my home country.
5. That would make a first sniper goaltender in history, right? Haha.
No, if I am serious, I’d like to be a quick goalie (especially like Johnathan in 2012, hehe) with reliable reflexes and encouraging nature, to boost my teammates from the back, sort of.
6. Whoa, I entered a dynasty, then! Heh.
Well, if we could replicate the last season’s success, that would be awesome. I believe the team is ready to do so without me, but I will try as much as I can to help achieve it.
7. I have a song that answers both of these questions:
Psycho by Muse.
8. I don’t think I am the right person to decide, as I usually fall asleep, no matter what the mean of transport is, heh.
But given that I stay awake, by some weird coincidence, I would go for Snatch, Fight Club or anything by Tarantino.
9. That would be New Zealand or Iceland. But my gf would love to go to the New Zealand with me, and Iceland is cold.. Let’s go with Sardinia!
Thank you for your questions. It was a lovely time answering them!
See you on another one of those,
LET’S GO BULLS!
