Sitting Down with Connor Hellebuyck

[HockeyFan4Life 11]

Q: Good afternoon Connor, my name is John ,and we have some questions regarding your entrance into the VHL system and other questions that fans have for you. Are you ready to start?

 

 A: Yes I’m ready, lay some questions on me dude.

 

Q: I heard that you haven’t played a game yet due to you joining so late in the season, how does someone cope in the hours before a big game like you are getting ready to do in the next couple weeks?

 

A: Well John, I’m not too nervous at the moment but new things are scary. Flipping burgers on a grill for the first time at a new job can be nerving, skateboarding for the first time on a big half pipe can make anybody nervous, nervousness is just a feeling that you have to overcome, that’s how most people make it into the league. Tackling emotions.

Q: I can get on board with that for sure. Next, you grew up in the metropolitan area of Richmond, in Mexico City I’m sure many things are different, how do you adapt to that.

 

A: The heat of this town for sure was my first challenge by far John, but everything else just pieces together like a puzzle the fans here are incredible from the games I’ve watched from the hotel I’ve been in though and I fell so ready to give them and other fans around the world something to cheer for, just like the rest of the team.

 

Q: Incredible answer Connor. Now onto the next topic, where do you see yourself after the VHL career is up.

 

A: Coaching, being a GM, anything to do with hockey really, or a pianist for parties or special occasions.

 

Q: Pianist. Really! Interesting, I guess that’s why you became a goalie. Good hands.

 

A: Yes John- it sounds weird but it’s funny as well in my opinion.

 

Q: That’s all the time we have today folks, thank you for joining Sitting Down with John Jones. Anything else Connor?

 

A: No, except for let’s go Kings!
