Goodbye / Hello!

So if you haven't seen yet, Justin Lose has walked into Free Agency and left the Riga Reign. Not only did he walk in Free Agency, he chose to sign with the Seattle Bears. We received this letter before the interview with Lose about his departure and arrival.

 

"Dear Riga Fans,

 

I know you are probably mad at me right now. This is understandable. From the moment I got drafted by Riga, I knew this place was special. Everyone was super welcoming and I felt at home. The fans and the players all made me feel comfortable. Of course, nothing was perfect in the rookie season but that's normal. We made the playoffs and everyone thought we would just keep getting better every season. Obviously, that didn't happen. Mentally it was exhausting going 110% every game only to miss playoffs. Frustration built up inside of me. I knew that staying in Riga wasn't going to be good for me mentally. That's why I walked away from the team. When I first signed I said I would bring a cup to Riga. Unfortunately, I have to break that promise. It kills me inside to know that I failed in that regard. You can choose to boo me. You can cheer me. All I know is that I did what's best for me and at the end of the day, isn't that what everyone wants? While Seattle is far away, I look forward to our games in the future. Riga will always be my home.

 

And to Seattle, I'm here. Get ready for a new man. I'm not messing around anymore. I'm putting it all on the ice.

Til we meet again,

~~Justin Lose~~"

 

Interviewer: What are your thoughts on the Seattle team now that you have joined them?

Lose: Oh man, Seattle is going to be a powerhouse in the future. Hell, even now honestly! I knew there was something special happening. Seattle and London were the two big players going after me. London came out red hot. Seattle was lukewarm at first but when the signing window opened it was a raging fire. I've never seen so much passion to get someone to sign with them. I felt like Seattle was the perfect fit. They are coming off a rebuild but the GM had a great plan laid out for me.

 

I: Do you feel like you have a chance at a cup?

L: Yes. This squad, while young, is hungry and with the GM making moves to speed the rebuild up... I see great things for the future. I was brought in to help teach the younger players a thing or two. That's a unique and awesome role to have. Also being able to have a fresh start on a new team... I'm a new man. I can't wait.

 

 

Lose starts his journey in Season 81 with the Seattle Bears! Will Lose live up to the expectations or will his play in Riga be permanent? Don't miss anything this season and find out.

9/10

Great article, really love to see how Lose was attached to Riga and how sad that make him feel to quit this city and the fans. I like the idea of letting a letter to the fans and doing an interview with the player. Very good article, keep up the good work and good luck next season with Seattle.

Review: Really well written. I like the note that was included from Lose's POV. His emotions definitely shine through in the letter. The interview portion also adds to the realism and sets the article up as it would be display in a show like Free Agent Frenzy. No complaints here, really well done! 10/10!
