Eagles end of season interview

[Greg_Di 1,022]

 

Tom and the Calgary Wranglers were clearing out their lockers last night as the team did not qualify for the final wildcard spot. We sat with Tom to discuss his play, the team and what the future may hold.

R: Hi Tom, thanks for taking the team to speak with us today

TE: No problem, always happy to chat

R: Tell us about these final few days chasing the wildcard spot

TE: Leading up to those last few games, everyone in the locker room had high hopes that we would be able to clinch that final spot. We had a few games on hand over the Wolves and we were playing well and coming in with a winning streak….then I am not sure what happened whether it was just inexperience in those situations or just a unlucky break but the team just crashed and I think we lost all our final games.

R: How disappointed was everyone?

TE: The team and fans were devastated. For me, I saw it as a learning opportunity. I learned that I do not want to go through something like that again and I believe with the team we have that next season we won’t be chasing a playoff position but will be well settled at this point next season.

R: How did the season go for you?

TE: I definitely took a step forward and almost doubled all my stats from my rookie season. You always wish you can contribute more but I think this season was a great stepping stone for me. My goals for next season is to try and hit that 80-90 point mark and I think I can do it.

R: Next season is your contract year, can you tell us a little about that and if there has been any discussions for renewal?

TE: There have been discussions here and there but I don’t want contract talks to effect my play. Myself and the GM will have discussions in the next off-season but I like it in Calgary and the direction the team is going so I think it’s fair to say you will be seeing me in a Calgary jersey for a few more years.

R: That’s always good to hear and I am sure once something gets finalized the fans would be happy. How do you think the GM did in their first season?

TE: GM has done great, He came in and put his stamp on the team and has outlined to us his future plans for the team. I think all the players are on board with the plan and it will be an exciting few seasons in Calgary. We are still a young team but growing ever day and the league should take notice. Next season we will be a dominant team

R: It’s always good to be optimistic about the team and the direction of the team. That is all the time we have today. Once again Thank you Tom and best of luck next season.

TE: You’re welcome! Keep an eye out on us next season, the Wranglers are about to showcase what we have been working on in this rebuilding season.

Nice job on this media spot mate. This piece is easy to read and is laid out really well. I like that you have used a different colour to represent your the players responses for the questions, makes it very easy to read. The interview also flows really well, making it a good read. Overall, nice job
