Claimed:Harumpf Presser! [Final 6/6]

Oskars Harumpf Press Conference

 

Helsinki Titans Center Oskars Harumpf Answers Questions.

 

We're here today with 5'5" 250 pound playmaking center Oskars Harumpf from Middelfart, Denmark. Oskars is a 2nd year player for the Helsinki Titans and is also one of their assistant captains. Oskars had a nice rookie season last year of 51 points and has followed that up with a sophomore campaign of 46 points in 56 games so far. Harumpf is looking good and is a former Oates trophy winner with 130 assists in the VHLM and also won a cup with Bratislava. He's a future star of the league and will now take questions.

 

Ask away!

 

@jRuutu:

 

What areas of your game are you planning on improving next?

 

Thanks for the question. I just reached 90 practice hours in passing and defense which was a goal of mine. I now plan to put the same work in on face offs. I want my game to remain as playmaker so I won't be spending much time working on my shot for a little while. After reaching a level of face offs where I'm comfortable, I plan on adding a phsyical element and some strength to my game. I am one of the league leaders in hits taken so I'd like to be a little stronger on the puck going forward.

 

Any goals for next few seasons?

 

My #1 goal is to win the cup with my Helsinki teammates, but personal goals would be to reach and maintain a point per game mark over the course of the season. I think that could happen next season, long term goal is to be the best playmaking center in the entire VHL. I'd like to win multiple awards and have fun doing it. Oh and one day have more points in a season than my old teammates Zoidberg and 3Moons, obviously.

Which team do you expect to come through in the race for 1st place in league between Quebec City, Helsinki, and New York?

 

Thanks for the questions, that is indeed a tough question. All 3 teams are the class of the league right now and have put together great seasons. As much confidence as I have in Helsinki, Quebec and NY are little in front of us in points so I would imagine it'd be between those 2 teams. Both have explosive offenses and NY has a little better goals against. I would think NY will emerge as the top team in the league at the end of the season, but it will be close between all 3.

 

Is there any certain player that you are modeling your game after in the VHL?

 

I don't model my game after any one person, but that is probably because I don't know of any other 5'5" 250 pound playmaking centers in the league. I think I'm kind of unique and once my physical game develops over the next couple seasons I will be a truly unique player. If there is anyone in the VHL that is a pure playmaker with grit then that'd be who I'd say I would like to play like.

 

How do you feel about your progress thus far, point-wise and other areas?

 

I think I have ben developing pretty well, working hard every week to get done whatever I can to improve. After joining mid-way through S39 I'm little behind the top players from my draft class, but my game is definitely coming together. Points-wise I am happy and I realize playing in the european conference seems to mean a few less points. That being said, breaking 50 in my rookie season and hopefully 60+ this season I think I'm doing well. I feel I've progressed well off the ice also, being name assistant captain 2 years in a row now, it was really an honor to be named to a leadership role as a rookie last year. That means a lot to me. So overall I'm pretty happy with how things have gone.

Content: 3/3 - Great article. I like how it's in the form of a press conference. I feel like that should be done more around these parts. Although, for the boards recent activity it didn't work out exactly well in your favor, questions-wise.

Grammar: 2/2 - Besides what Esco found, nothing really. Teammate is actually a word as well, so I believe he made an incorrect correction.

 

"european conference" - European Conference. It's a title.

"being name assistant captain" - named

Appearance: 1/1 - Good!

Overall: 6/6

 

Overall Average: 5.75. Rounded up to 6. >>>> 6/6

 

I look forward to more articles about Harumpf!
