[der meister 3,188]

1 - I was on the Royals for the Junior Showcase, but that's it. 

 

2 - I don't even know who is in it. If it's not My Team, then I don't care.

 

3 - Multiple times a day. I love Locker Rooms but they're so sparse here. I check out announcements, media, off topic. Whatever. I like the community - just wish it was more on site instead of discord.

 

4 - I'm being extra diligent about being a good boy to earn some good boy tpe.

 

5 - London, then Cork and Dublin, then back to London. It was our first big family trip and I was in charge of booking and planning. Almost every day was a big success.

 

6 - Outliving either of my children.

1. I've been draft by Geneva in the VHLE draft. For the Vhl i think i can be draft inside the top 40. For the VHLM, i want to be draft by you lol.

 

2. I loved de locker room and the trade minion try to do, but we lost too many games and we weren't near a playoff spot.

 

3. I played in the junior showcase and i had a lot of point, but our team finished last again...

It's an interesting question because I expect for each of my drafts coming up, my placement will be different. I think I can expect top 10 for the VHL, but as for VHLM and VHLE it feels wide open. I have had contact from one VHLM team so far but that's it, which I find a bit strange but not concerning.

2. What was your favourite or even least favourite part about playing for Halifax?

 

Hmm, I suppose the best part of my tenure was my first start (which was my best start). Great LR and team vibe, but certainly a disappointing season in terms of standings.

I was the starter for the Brigade in the Junior Showcase Tournament. We didn't end up winning it all but I was impressed by the GM for the Brigade @Daniel Janser and fully expect him to be a VHL GM one day.

I figure that once you officially draft me, yes. So get on it Halifax! Bring this Fuhr baby back.

5. What's the best or most memorable piece of advice you've ever received?

 

“The world is like a ride in an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. The ride goes up and down, around and around, it has thrills and chills, and it's very brightly colored, and it's very loud, and it's fun for a while. Many people have been on the ride a long time, and they begin to wonder, "Hey, is this real, or is this just a ride?" And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and say, "Hey, don't worry; don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride."

 

And we … kill those people.

 

"Shut him up! I've got a lot invested in this ride, shut him up! Look at my furrows of worry, look at my big bank account, and my family. This has to be real." It's just a ride. But we always kill the good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok … But it doesn't matter, because it's just a ride. And we can change it any time we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings of money. Just a simple choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace.”

Yes for sure, why not? Worst case we don't answer it directly but it changes things up from the regular run of the mill questions and that is a good thing.

1. Well being drafted 7th ovr was a huge shock to me. I’m very happy to get the chance to play for a team that took the chance and drafted me so high.

2. Well I made a deep playoff run last year with the aces so I think I can bring a lot to the table in terms of experience and leadership.

3. I’m a true two way defenceman. That’s my goal

4. just to improve overall. I’m okay if we don’t make a playoff run I just want to improve.

5. I’m a huge car guy. Love workin on cars and in the summer I’m in a pit crew for my buddy.

6. Somewhere warm and covid free.

[CSkams15 23]

1. Well i was traded from the Marlins here. We were in the middle of a gm change so there was a bit of a lack of communication from the new gm but thats completely understandable with the situation that was at hand.

2. I feel that we need to find people who work well together and role with it and also chemistry with the team as a whole

3. i consider myself a pass first type of guy like a Robert Thomas out of the NHL but I can also score when needed.

4. My personal goals for the season is to be a bit more disciplined but also find my self good scoring chances

5. I like gaming and playing golf with the boys

6. I would be in Minnesota to play some hockey and go ice fishing.

1) The waiver process is fun and difficult sometimes too - I think the first time I went through it was easier because I didn't know anyone - this time I was kind of sad to have to turn some places, and people that I know from my first player, down. But at the same time - when I started looking into things and felt like Halifax was a good fit, it was pretty hard to say no.

 

2) My first player was a waiver claim by Miami near the S75 trade deadline. We were out of the playoffs at the time and we had 4 or 5 hard-working players that came in as waiver claims, earned a bunch of TPE, fought our way up to a playoff spot. Then we pulled off a few upsets in the playoffs and won a Cup. If we work hard, we can surprise someone!

 

3) I'm a playmaker for sure and a guy that wants to take care of things in my own zone. I think I see the ice well and am good at creating space and opportunities for my teammates.

 

4) I don't really know, just want to see how this goes, get some experience and prepare for the VHL draft. From a team perspective, obviously a goal is to get into a playoff spot and then we'll see what happens once we're in.

 

5) I play a lot of video games. IRL I stream on twitch with my fiance and a friend of ours, and I'm also a competitive five-pin bowler.

 

6) Halifax 

[Azjha_59 24]

1. I was having trouble choosing which team to sign with, so I spun a wheel and it landed on Halifax, until I thought of the wheel I was stressed out because of how many options I had

2. everyone gets as much TPE as possible and we can take everyone by surprise by how fast we improve

3. I want to develop myself into an offensive forward with a physical upside, similar to T.J. Oshie

4. Score 5 goals and 10 points

5. I play hockey irl (goalie), I stream on twitch, I make YouTube videos, I enjoy hiking, skiing, backpacking, anything to do with either content creation or the outdoors (except rock climbing and caving)

1. The Halifax 21st have been #blessed enough to attract the attention of a wonderful group of waiver pickups this off-season! How should they spend their first night in the city?

 

2. S82 has literally just begun and the 21st got smoked in two consecutive games against the Philadelphia Reapers. What are some things you like to do to get over a tough loss?

 

3. With fewer than average draft picks this past off-season, the team could be considered to be in somewhat of a rebuilding phase, and may not be projected to place particularly high in the standings this season. Are you comfortable with playing in this kind of underdog role?

 

4. What are your first impressions of the VHL and the VHLM? If you're a veteran member, what WERE your first impressions and how did they end up developing with your time in the league?

 

5. Which do you prefer: Milkshakes or Smoothies? What flavour?

1.I think they should do an initiation for the new guys on the team so everybody is really part of the group.

 

2.You know, you have to be objective, this was maybe the best club in the league with a couple of 200TPE guys, tomorrow we're gonna show our real colors.

 

3.Yes absolutely, the people of this team seems really nice and I would like to be part of that rebuild phase, the win at the end is gonna be even better tasting.

 

4.This website is really really cool, the only thing is that it is hard to find... I think that if publicity of this website would be better, the number of players would really grow.

 

5.I prefer milkshakes obviously, it gets you fat... Chocolat milkshakes are the best.

 

6.Weirdly, I am vibing on "Gimme Gimme", I never put much attention to this song and now it's like I just realize how good it is.

[Jack Riley 4]

1. Hanging out together at the ice rink and playing some pick up hockey. 

2. Listen to music and play field hockey 

3. I am comfortable with playing this role. but only as long as I feel like the team is moving in the right direction, not backwards. 
4. this is my first season and I like VHL a lot, I’m really excited to get to know my team and coaches better and improve my player.

1. As one of the new pickups myself, I'll just be hanging out with some of my teammates and try to get used to the culture around here. 

 

2. Well Philadelphia is one of the best teams in the leauge, losing to them is nothing we should be ashamed of. We just gotta bite the bullet and regroup for the next game. 

 

3. I don't mind it at all, I love being an underdog. We just gotta give it our all and try to please the fans during this period. 

 

4. Seems to be a great community, loving it so far. 

 

5. Easy, Vanilla milkshake.

Yes I am comfortable playing with an underdog role, especially in my first season.

 

This is an awesome awesome website, I have been on the lookout for this kind of thing for a while and I am very excited to join!

 

I think I would have to go with smoothies, for a flavor, probably mango pineapple.

 

I'm not really a music person, but I love hockey, so I would go with watching the Canucks suck lol.

1. As a hometown boy who grew up in Halifax, I would highly recommend seeing downtown Halifax and The Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21.

3. I'll tell you what i told the rest of the group; Every dog has it's day.
