Media Spot- VHLM Hockey News Magazine interviews Thomas Matthews

[Achilles 91]

Hello this is Rick Sportsman here again with VHLM Hockey News Magazine, I have the Captain of the Houston Bulls here with me, Thomas Matthews. Hey Thomas, since last time we talked a lot of big things happened. You are now a captain. And your game has gotten more consistent. What are you doing differently? RS

Hey Rick thanks for having me. I haven't changed anything and have stuck to my plan from day 1 which is my development. It has been my huge focus going forward. This is also a team game and my team mates and I usually stay after practice to help each other further our development. The Bulls locker room has a great atmosphere and we all get along great. TM

 

Your first 4 games you only had one assist. Now, you have played 35 games with 33 points. Almost a point per game. What do you think was a factor in your progress? RS

 

Well again, my development. But also giving the opportunity to play on the first line in the VHLM. My production has sky rocketed since I was able to have more ice time. I have specifically been developing my defense skills and since then I noticed a huge change in my game. I hope to be the player my team mates can rely on. My team mates and I have all worked hard to get to where we are now. TM

So it looks like the Bulls will not make the playoffs, do you have any plans this offseason? RS

I am going to work on my development of course but I am excited to play in the offseason tournaments and see what I can do in a different environment. It's a great opportunity for me, other GM's will take notice in this tournament for this years draft class and our abilities on and off the ice. My goal is just to continue producing the way I am and keep developing my weakest attributes. TM

The draft is also coming up, any idea where you would like to be drafted to? RS

Whoever drafts me will get a solid TPE earner. I only joined the league halfway through the season and my development has been consistent. I am a team player and am here to help my team mates if they need it. I don't have a favorite but I hear Rome is nice. TM

 

Thanks again for being here Thomas Matthews, I am Rick Sportsman, Reporting. RS

 

Thank you. TM
