[LastOneUp 160]

Interviewer: “Hi everyone, we’re here with Montgomery Burns from the Toronto Legion, talking about the first couple of weeks of training camp. Montgomery, thank you for taking the time to chat with us today. How does it feel to be back on the ice?”

Montgomery Burns: “It feels great, honestly. There’s something about getting back into the routine and the grind of training camp that just feels right. You know, we spend a lot of our off-season working on our own, trying to stay in shape, but it’s not the same as being out there with the team.”

Interviewer: “Speaking of being with the team, how is the team morale right now?”

Montgomery Burns: “Team morale is high. We’re all excited to be back and we’ve got a lot of young, hungry guys in the locker room this year. Everybody is pushing each other to get better, and that competition is really what drives us.”

Interviewer: “And how has the team been dealing with the injuries that have cropped up early on?”

Montgomery Burns: “Injuries are always a part of the game, and it’s never easy to see your teammates go down. But we’ve got a next man up mentality here, and the guys who have stepped in have done a great job. Our training and medical staff are top-notch, and they’re doing everything they can to get the injured guys back on the ice as soon as possible.”

Interviewer: “Can you talk a bit about your personal preparations for the season?”

Montgomery Burns: “Sure, I spent a lot of the off-season working on my conditioning and my strength. I wanted to come into camp in the best shape possible, ready to compete for a spot on the roster. I also spent a lot of time with my family, just enjoying the time off and recharging for the season.”

Interviewer: “How important is that time off and spending time with family?”

Montgomery Burns: “It’s incredibly important. The season is a long grind, and being able to take some time away from the game, to relax and spend time with loved ones, it helps keep you grounded. It helps keep everything in perspective.”

Interviewer: “What are your personal goals for this season?”

Montgomery Burns: “Personally, I just want to be the best player I can be for this team. I want to contribute offensively, be responsible in my own end, and just be a guy that the coaches can rely on in any situation. I’ve set some specific statistical goals for myself, but at the end of the day, it’s all about helping the team win.”

Interviewer: “And what about team goals? What are the Legion aiming for this season?”

Montgomery Burns: “Our goal is to win a championship. Plain and simple. We’ve got the talent in that locker room to do it, and if we all buy in, work hard, and play for each other, I believe we can achieve great things this season.”

Interviewer: “You mentioned the young guys on the team earlier. Any standout performances so far in training camp?”

Montgomery Burns: “There’s a lot of young talent here, and a lot of guys have stood out. It’s hard to single out just one or two guys. I think as a group, they’ve all come in and shown that they’re ready to compete at this level. They’re pushing us older guys to be better, and that’s exactly what you want to see.”

Interviewer: “Last question, Montgomery. What message do you have for the Legion fans out there?”

Montgomery Burns: “Just a big thank you for all the support. We can feel the excitement in the city, and we’re ready to go out there and give it our all for you guys. Stick with us, it’s going to be a great season.”

Interviewer: “Montgomery, thanks again for your time, and best of luck this season.”

Montgomery Burns: “Thank you, really appreciate it.”
