8. What team other than Halifax do you think has a good shot at being contenders?

9. What do you think about the name "21st's"?

10. What would you say is your goal this season in the VHLM?

 

1) really cool that we can start history off on a good note and show players that no matter how bad your team is you can always have  fun 

2) to been a VHL or VHLM champion or have a point per game season  

3) I am trying to build my player to become a sniper and a play maker mixed or  just really good for getting points 

4) that you can get more TP Points so you can become a better player faster and you can get to the VHL faster 

5) not really since I was drafted in the 4th round I was hoping to go in the 3rd round or 2nd round so I can be more willing  to play   

6) since this team is new we can all help each other to get better over time 

7) yes because if we play well together than we will catch eyes of other teams and than we can get traded to a better team and win more awards  

8 ) I think that there are 2 teams Ottawa and Minnesota since they have so many players that have 250 TP points  

9) I think the name 21st's is great because it different there are not that many team name that sounds great but when you say Halifax 21st it perfect      

10)  since the season just ended my goal next season is to get 30 goals or 0.5 points per game at the end of the season

6. What is your go-to song right now? If you got control of the locker room speaker what are you putting on?

1. Well, I just joined but always have love for the Canadian teams. I was very happy that I could be a part of this organization.

 

2. I'm only a couple games in. But, yes I'd say so. I love having the minutes that I'm able to get.

 

3. Just having a quick look, gotta be Brandt or fat beast.

 

4. So far so good. Everyone is very welcoming. Hopefully we can get on a hot streak and make up some ground!

 

5. So for just joining the squad it looks to be a transitional period. But that doesn't mean we can't become a force in the second half of the season. Who knows what can happen?

 

6. I don't really have a go to song. I get hyped up when I see my teammates get hyped up. So whatever they're listening to to get pumped I feed off of that.

Answer all six questions for two capped TPE!

 

1. Who has been your favorite teammate so far this season?

2. What are your goals for your current player?

3. Looking at the VHLM as a whole, who do you think will be the MVP this season?

4. When you're not playing hockey, where are we most likely to find you?

5. What is your favorite thing to do to earn TPE and contribute to the VHL community?

6. What is your pre-game routine? Any special meals, activities etc?

 

1. Well, I've recently joined the team and I'm still trying to get to know all the boys. They've all been chill so far, but can't really say I have a favorite teammate as of yet. I'm still trying to get my feet wet and prove myself, so ask me this question again in a couple of weeks and I'll get back to you. Jet Pou is a sick name though. This guy ****'s for sure. 

2. My goals? That's simple. I'm cash money, baby. I wanna' be the team leader in points, goals, assists... you name it. And it's only a matter of time before that happens. From there, I'm gonna' make my way to the VHL and be the future of this league. Remember the name Cash Wheeler, you'll be hearing of me for years to come I guarantee you that. 

3. ... Who cares? I'm gonna be the MVP of every game I play in, night in and night out. People shouldn't be talking about anyone other than Cash Wheeler. Listen, I get it. People aren't going to like my answers. Is it going to ruffle a little feathers? Piss off some of the other players? I hope it does. I didn't come here to be a loser. I'm here to be a winner. To quote the great Ricky Bobby; "If you ain't first, you're last".

4. Limousine ridin', jet flyin', kiss stealin', wheelin' dealin'... BAYBAY. 

5. Graphics/Media spots would be a go-to. 

6. Carb-up. Mom's always made a killer pasta, and that's key for me going out and crushin' it on the ice.

1. Being new here I haven't had too much of a chance to get to know everyone. Everyone seems like they're great teammates so far though. Hopefully I'll have a better answer for this by the end of the season.

 

2. I'm hoping to be everything you dad was and more. Be an anchor for a great group of guys, win championships, and show up on the score sheet more often than not.

 

3. Looking at the overall stats thus far, it's gotta be Richard Penisson.

 

4. Working out, gaming some nhl, having some drinks with the boys.

 

5. My favourite things to do press conferences, pick em, vhfl, fantasy.

 

6. Nothing crazy here just like good meal, hit the bike to get a good warmup on the legs, snap some smelling salts right before I hit the ice so I'm really awake. And of course....a little bit of the Russian gas.

Answer all six questions for two capped TPE!

 

1. Looking back, what was your favorite moment from the season (even if you're a new player)?

2. How do you think the Halifax 21st will fare next year due to a good chance of getting a high draft pick?

3. Do you have any advice for upcoming draftees or free agent signings for next year?

4. Who do you think is going to win the VHL and VHLM playoffs this year?

5. What are your hopes for next year? Playoff team? Any personal stat goals?

6. Who is the best AGM in all of the VHLM, and why is it @twists?

1. Gotta say, I was pretty ecstatic when I signed my contract with Halifax ($1.5M whaaaaaaaaat?!)

2. I've got full faith in our front office, from ol @Dil to our very own Ass.Man. @twists, to do the best scouting, drafting, and development, regardless of draft position.
3. Here's some advice: give our rookies and new free agent signing some advice! 

4. I'm sure the 21st would've won the playoffs if we made it. But since we didn't, I just kind of assume that the playoffs are cancelled and there will be no champ this year?

5. There's one game left in the season, so there's a chance I might meet this goal before next year, but I hope to dress for a VHL game!

6. It's @twists because he gave me that aforementioned $1.5M. If there's a better AGM in the VHLM, that's the number they've got to beat.

6. Who is the best AGM in all of the VHLM, and why is it @twists?

 

1) My favorite moment from the season is definitely when I receive an offer from the team, being on a team feel much better than being a FA waiting for offers.

2) Honestly I have no clue, hopefully it will be much better since I will finally get to play? If I get drafted I think.

3) My only advice is to ask if you have any questions, everyone seems happy to answer any questions a newbie would have lol.

4) Since I've only been in the league for about a week, I don't know much about all the teams so based on the standings, Ottawa for VHLM and Vancouver for VHL?

5) My hope is definitely getting drafted and improve my player TPE, maybe in couple years I could make it to VHL, who knows lol.

6) The best AGM in VHLM is @twists because he is the only person that gave me an offer to the team lol, Thanks again!

[DrHexDex 68]

1. Looking back, what was your favorite moment from the season (even if you're a new player)?
I didn't have a favorite  moment this year. I dropped the ball this season and will work three times as hard next season to pick it up

2. How do you think the Halifax 21st will fare next year due to a good chance of getting a high draft pick?
As long as I don't slack, and the new kids we pick up work extra hard I'd say we got a shot

3. Do you have any advice for upcoming draftees or free agent signings for next year?
Don't fall behind like I did

4. Who do you think is going to win the VHL and VHLM playoffs this year?
Not a clue, but good luck to those that win. It's always hard to say who for sure will win because ANYTHING can happen in hockey

5. What are your hopes for next year? Playoff team? Any personal stat goals?
I want to go to the playoffs, Save % over .850 and a GAA below 3

6. Who is the best AGM in all of the VHLM, and why is it @twists?
He's a very patient AGM, and has worked with me through my inactive time

2. Hopefully get more impactful players that take this team to the next level.

 

3. Just enjoy it. Take it all in and get your tp where you can 

 

4. Looks like Ottawa's holding it down in the M and Vancouver in the V. I'm pulling for Moscow though!

 

5. Being a playoff team would be awesome. I think that has to be THE goal. Of course personal stat goals come along with that but I'm more focused of winning as a team.

 

6. Well he gave me a shot on my recreate so you know a smart guy.

Looks like you had a rough season Hex. 

Don't be so hard on yourself goalie, we're all juggling the stresses of being a rockstar professional (simulation) hockey player, while living offline lives, while being in the middle of one of the most traumatic times of our generation. I know I've been struggling to keep all my balls in the air, and joining the VHL adds some extra responsibility and stress to my plate - sounds like I'm not alone. Take a big deep breath, and search out those TPE tasks that make you smile and giggle. It's never great when hobbies start to feel like work, so make sure to still have some fun here!
