SITR: Calgary Wranglers Season 93 Preseason Interview w/ Wranglers Legend AirRig GoodBrandSun

 

Host: Thank you for tuning into VHL Network, Stick In The Rink! We come to you live at the Saddle Dome Studios here in Calgary, Alberta! With the start of S93 just around the corner, we have a special guest coming in to discuss about the outlook of the Calgary Wranglers heading into the season. We have Calgary Wranglers Legend AirRig GoodBrandSun @Rhynex Entertainment here tonight! Please give us a warm welcome to AirRig GoodBrandSun!

 

                Welcome AirRig! Thanks for finding time to come in today!

 

AirRig GoodBrandSun: Thank you for having me! It is nice to meet you! (AirRig GoodBrandSun shakes hands with the Host)

 

Host: How have you been after your retirement from the VHL? What have you been up to?

 

AirRig GoodBrandSun: I've been well. Just enjoying my time back home. Retirement has been good.

 

Host: Great! Should we discuss about the outlooks of the Calgary Wranglers heading into S93? What are your thoughts of how the team is looking heading into S93?

 

AirRig GoodBrandSun: After finishing tops of the North American Conference, but followed by a disappointing playoffs last season in S92, the Wranglers are in an interesting position. I feel they're in the midst of a semi retool, but it didn't help that they did not have a high draft pick during the draft. The Wranglers look to be entering the S93 season shorthanded, but also with a bit of cap issues. 4 forwards, 3 defenseman and 2 goalies. It's going to be a pretty heavy season for the skaters. Goaltending is an area of strength of the season. However, with no goaltending prospects, that's a position to look at moving forward as well.

 

Host: How do you feel about their skaters with the 4 forwards and 3 defenseman then?

 

AirRig GoodBrandSun: A solid group but lacking in depth. Calgary has the top 3 positions covered required for a championship. That is, a top center in Randy Bonandy @AJW, a top defenseman in Phil Strasmore @Phil, and a star goaltender in Merome Dilson @MexicanCow123. If the Wranglers could get 2 more forwards to fit into the top 6, they will be a much more competitive team in S93. But it's going to be quite an interesting season. Shorthanded doesn't mean they won't do well. The fact that they still have their 1st round pick is also a boon.

 

Host: How do you feel about Calgary's first selection in the second round, picking up a non-conventional style prospect in Miner vHLer @Rhynex Entertainment?

 

AirRig GoodBrandSun: It was a surprising selection, for sure! I did not expect to see the Wranglers' management pick up a player who only played on the 4th line in VHLm in S92 so early into the draft. Miner vHLer is an interesting player. Miner will be a fantastic leader for the Wranglers for many years to come, but you could say he may be 2 years away from being 2 years away from being an effective player in the VHL. Regardless, Miner is an impressive pickup. He is already one of the most disciplined players in the VHL so early in his career, it's going to go a long way in his development! Adding the fact that he is a fantastic leader already, definitely a potential captain material player for the Wranglers.

 

Host: Wow! An interesting perspective! Our time is almost up! Any closing remarks?

 

AirRig GoodBrandSun: Season 93 is going to be a wild season in the VHL. However, the wind is blowing toward an even more wild future! Most prospects are coming in Season 94, the future of the VHL is bright!

 

Host: Thank you for your time! (AirRig GoodBrandSun and the host shakes hands again as the show cuts to commercials)
