Host: And welcome back to the show, I'm now joined by Donny Carter, a Houston Bulls forward and rookie in the VHLM. Donny, welcome to the show.

Carter: Thanks for having me!

Host: After not being drafted in the VHLM entry draft, did that get into your head at all?

Carter: Well, I knew I wasn't a top player in the draft, and I didn't focus on my career enough in the year heading up to it. In the month before I tried to save any draft stock I could have had, but was a bit late and teams passed on me. I didn't let that get me down, as it was my fault in the first place, so I just had to work harder to get signed by a team.

Host: And you were signed the very next day by the Houston Bulls. Why do you think GM rjfryman signed you over other players?

Carter: The Bulls are a team who has a lot of top talent, shown by my teammates Milk Jugs, Cody Lachance, and Anze Miklavz. We are looking to make a go for the playoffs and rj contacted me and wanted to add some depth the the roster. Obviously I accepted and I feel like I am a guy who can grow throughout the season.

Host: What's your opinion on how the Bulls and yourself are doing so far?

Carter: Well, I think I definitely have more to give for the team, as I only have a few assists in the first few games, and as a team, I think we also have a lot more to show. I think we're 4th in the conference, and the last two games were some rough losses. We for sure should be able to push through this rough patch to be a big threat for other teams in the league.

Host: Sounds like you have some challenges ahead. How have the Bulls been welcoming to you and any other new players.

Carter: I was very excited to get the contract, and I'm glad it's for three whole seasons, because I have really enjoyed my time here in Houston. I was welcomed instantly, and have fit into the locker room quite well. It's been a fun time, and we're a team full of fun people. Winning has been great, and we feel that this team is one that can definitely give other teams a run for their money.

Host: It will be exciting to see how this season goes for you guys, I find myself wanting to root for the Bulls! Anyway, what type of play style are you trying to model your game as, and how do you think you have done so far?

Carter: I feel like I am more of a two way, gritty winger. Providing scoring when it's needed and such. I haven't found the net, but I think I will quite soon. As for my defensive and gritty game, I think I'm providing what I need for my team at this moment, though I have taken a few unnecessary penalties. I'm still ironing out the bumps in my game, but once I feel comfortable, be ready to see Donny time.

Host: *laughs* Alright Donny on that note I think we'll end it here, though I hope to have you on here again.

Carter: Thank you so much, I'll see you later!

Review:

Good article about your player and his journey so far (not being drafted but signed instead). Great information. There are a few issues with the interview/article though. Nothing is spaced out so it made it very hard to read. I would also add a picture and maybe bold the name of the person talking. Adding color to what the person is saying would also be a nice touch to differentiate who is talking.

Great concept and idea, just needs better execution to make it an easier read.
