[Jamomayo 37]

1. My honest opinion on this tournament is that it is a great way for me and my fellow new players to be notice and show what We have and for some of us to prove people wrong. It’s also a great place to find and meet all kinds of new teams mates and people to talk to

 

2. my expections for my team is just like any team I’m on and that’s to win like what can I say these royals are built like a tank

 

3.  I am extremely happy with the team that @Moon_50 and @youloser1337 have put together they put together a very good team who has a very good chance of winning the tournament 

 

4.  There is always pressure when any of us play but the key is to not let it to affect you and to be honest I play a lot better u see pressure and under the big lights

 

5. You know this answer for this question might get a lot of hate but I’m going to have to follow one of the greats in Phil the thrill and my answer is hot dogs I could eat hotdogs the rest of my life

 

6.  If I could travel anywhere in the world that’s a tough one because I haven’t been to many places there’s a lot of places I would Ike to visit but if I had to choose one it defiantly would be New Zealand it just such a amazing place and I’m a huge rugby fan and one of the biggest things I have on my bucket list is to watch the all blacks play a game

[CDS_Leb 3]

1.  Im exited to learn now the league works and meet other players 

2. Who isnt here to win, our team is stacked for the tourney 

3. The GMs on this team are stellar

4. I play to win and get better, If that happens in a  crowd of thousands or a local rink of 15; it doesnt matter 

5. Probably those pizza buffets the teams stop at after a big dub

6. In 2014 it was Russia. 2018 was Korea. 2022 is China. I follow olympic hockey where ever it goes

1. With the team being in 2nd place what do we need to do to push for that top spot?

Earn more of that sweet, sweet TPE and spend it like you are Dan Bilzerian 

2. What do you think the Pros and Cons are about your play style?

Scoring and Skating are a strong pro, but the con? Well, let's just say: the ice is only 100 feet because there is 0 defensive effort out there. Like we are wheelin and dealin but only in the Ozone

3. Is there anything you would do differently if you were running this tournament?

Have Mikhail Lospenov play more than 5:50 a game... I mean there are 4th line minutes and then there are pigeon minutes that get counted for skating in warmies

4. Are you doing better or worse than expected?

Kinda worse. Was looking for lampys but I'm seeing a lot of 0

5. What is your Favourite Hobby?

Partaking in over-priced adult beverages whist screaming obscenities at the tv while watching soccer

6. What is the most catchy song?

The legendary banger that is: BOVEN OP DE BERG. You'll thank me later

 

Edited September 14, 2021 by Gretzky didnt lift da puck

[Jamomayo 37]

1. With the team being in second we need to be on the body do a few head shots and put the puck in the net there should be no giving up we need to win

 

2. the pros is my guy is a solid playmaker and goal scoring the cons is my skating and defense are low

 

3. no I wouldn’t change a thing cow and z are doing a great job and so are all the gms

8: What type of player build are you going for? 

1. Being a rookie in the VHL in general no huge expectations from me but a lot of pressure being the #1 overall selected.

2. Will be interesting to play against Otis since him and I came in roughly the same time both were on Houston then both traded to Halifax at the same time so will be fun seeing if he can take a hit from me or if he can get past me to light the lamp. 

3. Favorite food is pasta just because the possibilities are endless.  
4. No extra pressure in this tournament that any other M game since every game is an audition for the next level. 
6. Favorite NHL team is the Devils just loved them as a kid and lucky enough to have seen them raise 3 Cups even though hard to admit being a fan of them now.   Brodeur to me will always be the GOAT even though others may say Roy.

8. Goes hand and hand with #6 trying to build a Scott Stevens/Ken Daneko Mix both had 20 + season careers both HARD HITTING and both the main reason the NHL got rid of the two line pass rule because they were hard to get past in the middle of the ice.

6: What is your favorite NHL team and why?

7: Where do you think the Royals are going to finish in the standings at the end of the JST Regular Season?

8: What type of player build are you going for? 

1) I feel like this tournament is going to be a great way to showcase talent, especially being one of the new guys in the league. I also think this could be a great way to build chemistry with potential future teammates.

 

2) Currently no, but I feel like with building chemistry with the team around me I think that I would have a blast playing around those players.

 

3) Chicken. Being on a diet means you have to watch what you eat and you gotta stay in shape. Plus it goes with anything.

 

4) No I don’t think it will be a huge burden. I will say that if I don’t make any mistakes on or off the ice, then I will have a great connection with the GMs and AGMs.

 

5) I don’t have a preference on which team I play for. I feel like I could be a threat on the blue line with some development. While I like the idea of being on a team with cup contenders, I feel like I can lead a franchise out of a rebuild.

 

6) Columbus. We don’t have an NHL team here in Indiana, so it’s one of the close options. I’ve also been to a couple games at Nationwide and it’s safe to say those fans love the Jackets.

 

7) I think our team is going to be good. Even though our team is potentially going to be the youngest and newest players to the VHL Forum, I think we can be a threat while having fun at the same time.

 

8: With my player build, I plan on creating a Two-Way Defenseman. One who can be a threat on the blue line, and one who can protect the house and protect my teammates. Once I earn some TPE, I’ll most likely put some towards checking and my slapshot.

6. I like all type of music but not too much of the same type in a short time.

ROYALS PRESS CONFERENCE (8/15)

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

 

1) We're currently sitting in 2nd place out of 6 teams in the tournament (5-3-1). Do you think we improve or worsen? 

2) Has your player been playing to their expectations? If no, what will you do this week to improve your player?

3) We are slowly but surely adding people to our locker room. How does the amount of people change the vibe in the locker room?

4) As we get closer to the end of the tournament, are you worried about the GMs and AGMs of the VHLM scouting your player?

5) What team would you most like to join/be drafted to in the VHLM?

6) When you were younger, what was your dream job? How has that changed?

[Agito 212]

1. Improve 

2. Yes 

3. More people to talk to

4. Yes 

5. Hounds

6. Cybersecurity Technician

[JetsGoalie101 33]

1) We're currently sitting in 2nd place out of 6 teams in the tournament (5-3-1). Do you think we improve or worsen? 

 

We get to the playoffs and nobody cares about our seed anyway. As a team, I think we improve and play our best hockey then.

 

2) Has your player been playing to their expectations? If no, what will you do this week to improve your player?

 

I'm happy with Joyo, I'd like for him to be more of a passer but it's also hard to argue about him having success as a goal-scorer. I like that he is consistently good at +/-, which I think reflects him being well-rounded. 

 

3) We are slowly but surely adding people to our locker room. How does the amount of people change the vibe in the locker room?

 

I like recurrent active users, but I also prefer a smaller team environment personally. I feel like it's easier to know your teammates then. That being said, if they're on our team I hope they join us in the locker room too

 

4) As we get closer to the end of the tournament, are you worried about the GMs and AGMs of the VHLM scouting your player?

 

Nope, excited! This is the furthest I've gotten with a player in the VLH before and it's been cool to see my guy mentioned in mock drafts and prospect rankings. 

 

5) What team would you most like to join/be drafted to in the VHLM?

 

I loved my experience with Halifax and would be happy to go back, but Sunglasses Joyo is ready for any experience ahead of him

 

6) When you were younger, what was your dream job? How has that changed?

 

Probably a sports commentator, and I think it changed from me placing less meaning on sports. I still enjoy watching and playing games, but I also found a career that felt like I was doing something better/more needed.
