Former Bull here: 1. Bit of a dry spell at the moment. How does your player like to bring Lady Luck back into their good graces? -- I think I've been getting lucky with my scoring this season, I almost have more points than penalties at this point in the season. 2. Kind of a random question, but do you think 200 TPE is enough time for someone to enjoy the minor leagues? Should it increase? Decrease? -- 200 is perfectly fine in my opinion, it lets you build up a surplus to apply right when you move up to the E which seems to require a bit of dumping into specific attributes. 3. FLORIDA!!!!! FLORIDAAAAA!!!!!! Why is Darnell Nurse paid so much? -- give 3 guys a pile of money and hope the others you can afford will help them. 4. In cricket news: The US National Cricket team beat the Pakistani National team this past weekend. That would be like if the Guatemalan National Hockey Team beat Canada or Finland. Are there any big upsets in sports history that stick out to you most? -- '99 Stanley Cup Final. enough said 5. The Capitals bought CapFriendly and they intend on shutting the site down so other teams don't get an advantage. Kind of a dick move, right? -- That is pretty lame maybe they'll rebrand as CapitalsSuck.com. 6. Sometimes you just have a really bad day. We all have that dish that can easily bring us the warmest comfort. For me it's grilled onions, thinly sliced steak, over a bed of white rice and some yummy sherry reduction over the top. What's your comfort dish? -- Kraft mac and cheese for sure. I could eat a box of that without even noticing.

1. How do you think our team is looking after the recent draft? -- Good mix of newer guys and strong returning players. Lots of room for growth and good overall potential. 2. Did you get drafted to any other leagues or was the VHLM your first draft? -- For my first season I was only picked up by the Bulls. Last season I was drafted by the Preds, and the Express in the E. 3. Do you have any questions for me? -- How do you think this season will go for the Lynx? 4. What do you think the most important position in hockey is? -- Defense, you can have the best offense in the world but if you don't have any D behind them you're not gonna do so well. 5. How do you think the Lynx could improve? -- Goalies got some work to do to have a solid build. Obviously being newer this is to be expected. 6. Do you think we'll be as good as last season with 50 wins again? -- I'd love to see it. There's potential.

1. I think we did pretty well in the first round. 2. I just watch the game recaps at the while doing cardio gym in the morning. 3. the regular season was fun. That last couple game push before securing a playoff spot is always exciting. 4. I would have liked to score more but overall I don't think I'd change anything, 5. Dark mode only. 6. I think it would be a good idea but I'm not sure the logistics of getting that up and working as well as the forums do.

1. How confident are you in your player and the team heading into the playoffs? -- I'm pretty confident we'll do good in this playoff run. We've won 50 games this season 2. How did you feel about your players performance this season? -- 14G 38A and leading the league in PIMs I would say I did way better than last season. 3. Predict who will win the VHLM Founders Cup, who will be the runner up? -- If we don't win, we'll be runner up. 4. Have you ever been to any NHL games or any other major sporting event. -- I go to a couple NHL games a year, I do go to AHL games all the time though I have season tickets. 5. Do you have a favourite video game or one you played a lot when you were younger? --Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 2 that game was awesome back in the day I remember putting hours into that on the GameCube. 6. What do you think has been the key to our success this season? -- Goaltending for sure, Hugo Boss coming in crazy this season. 11 Shutouts was a big part of this seasons success for sure.

1. Have you been watching the last week of the NHL? Who's your favourite team? -- Buffalo as always, once they're done I focus on the AHL playoffs, their affiliate Rochester has been doing pretty well this season. Hopefully they go all the way! 2. Do you have a favourite sports player? Any sport -- My favorite, non-hockey, sports player would have to be either John Daly(golf) or Pete Weber(bowling), both guys have traits that make them entertaining to watch. 3. How did you react to the trade bringing in @Chillybro's player? -- Its always fun to get new players. 4. Did you think the team was going to make any more moves? -- They may I'm not too sure though. I think we've got a good group and I don't recall hearing anyone wanting to move. 5. If you could choose a sound to be played in the arena when your player steps on the ice what would it be? -- https://www.myinstants.com/en/instant/amongus-sus-74999/?utm_source=copy&utm_medium=share 6. Have you ever thought of recruiting anyone to the league? There's a TPE incentive incase you didn't know. -- I don't really communicate with people that would really participate like they should in something like this.

VHLM Rebrand Week: Ottawa This week has been determined to be the week in which teams across the VHL, and subsequent minor leagues, rebrand for a bit of fun and to allow greater interaction with the fans. This time around, the fans of the current Ottawa Lynx were polled in order to find a different animal to represent the team. Voting opened up a couple weeks ago asking fans which animal native to Ottawa would replace the beloved Lynx the best. With entries ranging from, Geese to Meese, (yes I know that’s improper pluralization but hey, it rhymes) the fans provided many different options to vote for. This year it has come down to a close race between a few very close competitors, Owls, Porcupine, Grey Wolves, and River Otters. The Owls came in with 45,243 votes just beating out the Geese by a couple hundred votes. The Porcupine reached 67,932 votes, a fair number of votes just shy of 7% of the Ottawa population. And we’re down to the final two options, the Grey Wolves and the River Otters. This season's rebrand for the Ottawa Lynx has been voted to be the Ottawa River Otters. The River Otters received 128,673 votes beating out the Grey Wolves by around 14,000 votes. By a slim margin the River Otters pulled ahead and were selected. There has been some noise about this on social media particularly questioning the ferocity of an Otter. Which, given the look of the animal itself versus how well the team has been doing lately seems to be a fair point. The now River Otters are leading the league with a 34-8-5 record. Jillian Woods and Kevin OConner are both leading the league, Woods with Points for a Defenseman(54) and OConner for Shorthanded Goals(1). Of course we can’t forget the unbelievable performance from Hugo Boss this season, leading the league in wins(34), shutouts(8), and goals against average(1.86). Now back to the topic of Otters. The River Otter is native to much of Canada and the United States, really only avoiding warmer climates. River Otters obviously thrive in cooler climates and in areas where there are an abundance of streams, ponds, and other bodies of water. While they may seem pretty cute and friendly on the outside, they can really tear up some fish and smaller mammals. Their main source of nourishment is fish and mussels and whatever lurks around in the rivers but from time to time they’ll go to shore and hunt for muskrats and small rabbits. They move quite quickly and are resilient to the cold much like the hockey players they were chosen to represent this year. In short, I think the fans came up with a great replacement for the Lynx. The river otter may not be quite as intimidating as a lynx but they’re unsuspectingly able to do what needs to be done when the time comes. The Ottawa fans have spoken and decided that the Lynx will be rebranded to the Ottawa River Otters for S93!

1. Where do you see yourself next season? Staying in the VHLM? Or moving up? -- I think I should be playing up in the VHLE next season given my current tpe is at the limit for the M. 2. What do you think has been the main reason behind our success this season? -- I would have to say our defense is coming in clutch this season. Jillian Woods has been putting in that work so far and has been getting points left and right. 3. Did you end up falling for any April fools jokes this year? -- None that I am aware of. 4. What's your favourite sport outside of hockey? What's your favourite teams? -- Favorite sport outside of hockey would be disc golf. Not so much a team based sport but Team Innova is pretty good. 5. If you could take over the VHL for a day what would you do? -- Probably have a shootout tournament where each team would send their best scorers to go 1v1. I don't know though probably just regular all star kinda stuff. 6. Whats your all time favourite movie? -- I really like Office Space. I think it really captures the office environment well and the humor in it is just right.

Had a great experience this season. Looking forward to the next! VHLM = +3 TPE
