No updates were to be had recently in the careers of Marcel and Daniel. However, Jean-Luc Lieuxperroux was able to get in touch with the Swiss veteran Forward for an post-season interview. Please find same here below.

 

Jean-Luc Lieuxperroux (JLL): 'Hi Daniel. First of all: Congratulations on your engagement.'

Daniel Janser (DJ): 'Thanks a lot, we are quite happy and are looking for a date to tie the knot. It is a logistic challenge with Bonnie's family mostly living in Scotland and mine in Switzerland. But we will find a way to make it happen.'

JLL: 'As is tradition, you will participate in the annual ProAm Tournament, this time for the 'Babylon Wonders', which drafted you on 3rd OA. Are you excited to play there?'

DJ: 'Absolutely. I cannot recommend enough to any hockey-addict. It is fun, yet competitive and you get to share the locker room with players who are retired, your sworn rivals or maybe will never make the jump to the VHL for whatever reasons. I always had fun participating. This time around, I will dress with AJ Williams, who retired end of last season, Darryl Dixon, who was briefly part of my Dad's Istanbul Red Wolves, Leandro, who I share already a locker room with, Babushka, who was in the Calgary organization for a while and the two Velociraptors, Greg and Scoish Maloish, the latter of which was a Wrangler for one season. All the others are new to me and I am looking forward to get to know them. Obviously with two Raptors in our squad, we are going to tear the opposition a new one.' 

JLL: 'Zef Gonçalves called for your attendance on the World Cup and you answered. You are going to represent Western Europe in the quest for glory. How do you reckon your chances to get gold?'

DJ: 'It is always an honour if the manager of a national team asks you to dress for them and there will always only be one answer from me in that respect: Of course. As to our chances: We have good squad and we all are ambitious enough to go for gold. I will meet with two fellow Wrangers in Strasmore and Leandro. Other greats are Nico Pearce, Ronan Lavelle, Laperriere, Cole Pearce and Utonium, to name but a few. Obviously we are going to mess with the best and it would be cocky to guarantee a medal, but we will do our level best to piss on the other nation's parade.'

JLL: 'You are fast approaching the end of your illustrous career. Will there be any changes in the future? Will we live to see a Defender duo Janser?'

DJ: 'It is true that with me settling down and starting a family, priorities will shift. Also, my physical play takes its toll on the body. At the moment I still feel fit and that I have a lot of hockey in me. Alas, it is a fast sport and things can change rapidly. I could definitely see me taking a step back to give budding super stars more ice time to develop and shine and/or mentor rookies in bottom six role. Ricer and I have a good working relationship and exchange thoughts on a regular basis. I also told him that I will play defender if the team is shorthanded in that department. I had my five minutes of glory with the individual silverware, now I want that elusive cup to round up my career.'

JLL: 'Thanks Daniel for your time and your insights. Good luck in the tournaments ahead.'

DJ: 'Thanks for having me and god speed on your way home.'
