Interview with Oyorra Arroyo

 

Your Yukon Rush are on the precipice of winning the Founder's Cup. Tell me what this experience is like for you.

 

Well you never want to count your chickens before they hatch. Las Vegas has shown us that they can win a game, so we have to continue to play our game to make sure we close out the series. These playoffs have been a lot of fun for me, and the prospects of being champions so early in my career is incredible.

 

Currently you're 4th in the team despite being just 8th in minutes played. Are you upset that your playing time took a little hit in the playoffs?

 

Not at all. This is a team sport and everyone needs to work together for the betterment of the team. It's been a joy watching Veran and Veris play, and I feel like I'm learning a lot from both of them in the process. Even a guy like Josh who might not be the most talented but is a great vocal guy who really has a knack for leadership. Talent can only take you so far, you need glue guys like Josh to really pull together a truly cohesive unit.

 

Looking ahead to the VHL Draft, have you given much thought on what team you'd like to play for?

 

The draft can wait; we have a championship to win! Any team that feels like I will be a big asset is a team I'm ready to play for, but I really have not had the time to sit down and research where I think I'd be the best fit.
