Welcome guys! Answer all these questions for 2 tpe!

 

1.) How was the draft experience for you?

2.) Where were you projecting yourself to go?

3.) What do you think of Halifax so far?

4.) For those who don't know, what type of player do you intend to become?

5.) What do you think we can achieve in Halifax this season?

6.) Who is your favourite NHL player and team?

1. I didn't get to participate in the draft, but it was fun getting offers and information about the different teams.
2. Honestly, I don't really know how the draft process worked considering I just came into the league and signed as a FA, plus i don't know the TPE amounts of people in the earliest rounds.
3. I know a few people on the team from discord, but our GM has been nice and helped me out with selecting my skills to upgrade, so that's been really cool.
4. I'm a defense-man and I'm aiming for a Offensive D Man who can quarterback a powerplay, but also be physical and balanced enough on defense so he can hold his own, similar to a PK Subban or Drew Doughty type. 
5. I think with active players and help from vets we can really make noise in the playoffs.
6. Mikhail Sergachev; Tampa Bay Lightning.
 

[elrune1988 12]

1.) How was the draft experience for you? It was great! It is always fun to join a new team and try and regroup for a championship run!

2.) Where were you projecting yourself to go? I had no expectations. I trailed off a bit leading up tot he draft for personal issues. So looking forward to being a steal!

3.) What do you think of Halifax so far? Having good fun - everyone is great! Cant wait to win together!

4.) For those who don't know, what type of player do you intend to become? A balanced player with a good mix of offence and defence.

5.) What do you think we can achieve in Halifax this season? Win it all!

6.) Who is your favourite NHL player and team? Habbies!

[BigBallerFromDownUnder 50]

1.) What do you think of our play so far?

A:  I am happy with what I’m doing, but I’m always hungry to improve I don't think I’ll ever truly be happy until I’ve become the best player I can be. I’m most proud of my assist numbers I love supporting my team.

2.) What do you plan on improving next?

A: My puck handling and skating, to me they kind of come tighter as I wouldn’t want to improve one and ignore the other.

3.) Who on the team has impressed you the most so far?

5.) How do you feel you've done so far this season?

A: I think with the team I have preformed well; we have a plan and we are working to that plan to become a better player. I have the support of the staff and my teammates so I cant be doing that badly.

6.) Are you excited for the NHL to start?

A: Yes super excited to watch some Hockey.

Halifax 21st Press Conference (September 23-29)

 

Well everyone this is my first week doing the press conference questions and I am hoping to make them a little more interesting than the normal ones I see which just have fairly generic questions with a lot of seemingly boring answers. It may take me a few weeks to fully get into this but let’s get it going. I have posted 10 questions this week so you can pick and choose which you answer. Answer three for one TPE and six for two TPE.

 

1. Our fearless leader @fonziGG has announced that we will be making some changes to our locker room this week to bring it back to its once glorious self. Is there anything you would like to see stick around that is currently in the locker room?

 

2. To much the same point as the question above is there anything you would like to see changed or added within our current locker room? Maybe something you have seen somewhere else that seemed to work?

 

3. Where did your choice of jersey number come from? My player wears 94 for Leafs’ legend Sergei Berezin. What about you?

 

4. Have the staff at the Halifax 21^st been as helpful to you as you believe they should have been? Have they provided you with all of the information you think you require?

 

5. Is there any particular player on our team that you think could go on to have the best VHL career?

 

6. Do you agree with the choices for captains for the squad? Would you like to see a change in the way we select our captains in the future?

 

7. We recently (today) traded our first and fourth round picks in next year’s draft for defenseman Aamon Grim @aCrypticPancake. Are you happy with this move and do you think trading futures was the right move for the team this year?

 

8. Do you have any specific players on other VHLM teams that you would like to see on the Halifax 21^st? Someone that may fit our style of play or maybe fill a big hole on the squad.

 

9. Similar to the question above do you have any buddies that play on other teams around the VHLM? Someone you grew up with or played with before the VHLM? If not who is your best buddy on our squad?

 

10. Do you have any superstitions when it comes to playing the game of hockey? Maybe an old piece of equipment you haven’t thrown out in years or the order you put on your equipment?

 

Staff: @fonziGG @HughJas_

Players: @Benson @elrune1988 @Gaudette @BigBallerFromDownUnder @littleboi @ks5th @Kevin Lafleur @Chad D @aCrypticPancake

[fonziGG 1,071]

1. Our fearless leader @fonziGG has announced that we will be making some changes to our locker room this week to bring it back to its once glorious self. Is there anything you would like to see stick around that is currently in the locker room?

Get rid of the #tpe channel and keep the #eyes channel, duh!

 

2. To much the same point as the question above is there anything you would like to see changed or added within our current locker room? Maybe something you have seen somewhere else that seemed to work?

Actually, the #eyes channel was implemented from the LSU team discord in the EFL. I found it to be so fun, but I have a few channels up my sleeve coming soon!

 

3. Where did your choice of jersey number come from? My player wears 94 for Leafs’ legend Sergei Berezin. What about you?

My goalie wears #1 since I'm a goalie for the Malmo Nighthawks!

 

4. Have the staff at the Halifax 21^st been as helpful to you as you believe they should have been? Have they provided you with all of the information you think you require?

In a way its technically difficult for me to answer this, but I'll say that both @JeffD and @HughJas_ have been incredible staff so far. We're undergoing some major changes within the team and they've been right there with me, helping every single step of the way. Great set of dudes and Halifax is blessed to have them on our side.

 

5. Is there any particular player on our team that you think could go on to have the best VHL career?

I personally think that everyone is going to go on and have a very tidy career. @Benson has a very clean build, as does @elrune1988 and @Gaudette. One of my sleepers for this pick would also be @BigBallerFromDownUnder!

 

6. Do you agree with the choices for captains for the squad? Would you like to see a change in the way we select our captains in the future?

They seem like great guys. There were a ton of options though.

 

7. We recently (today) traded our first and fourth round picks in next year’s draft for defenseman Aamon Grim @aCrypticPancake. Are you happy with this move and do you think trading futures was the right move for the team this year?

an s70 1st and 4th for Aamon Grim I think was a super price considering Anthony Amberback went for a 1st and 3rd last season, only to get traded this season for a 2nd. His activity is also invaluable and I think he shores up our D-Core really well. I'm super excited to bring him into the squad.

 

8. Do you have any specific players on other VHLM teams that you would like to see on the Halifax 21^st? Someone that may fit our style of play or maybe fill a big hole on the squad.

Heh, I guess I sorta can't answer this one but I've got a few in my pipeline.

 

9. Similar to the question above do you have any buddies that play on other teams around the VHLM? Someone you grew up with or played with before the VHLM? If not who is your best buddy on our squad?

I guess, for VHL I have my buddy @Acydburn. He's like family from our Hali days.

 

10. Do you have any superstitions when it comes to playing the game of hockey? Maybe an old piece of equipment you haven’t thrown out in years or the order you put on your equipment?

I generally like to tape my stick just before the game. It lets me meditate in a way.

[Larry Five Hole 16]

1. Our fearless leader @fonziGG has announced that we will be making some changes to our locker room this week to bring it back to its once glorious self. Is there anything you would like to see stick around that is currently in the locker room?

 

As a newly signed player, I cannot speak to any potential changes, as I am one myself! I have faith in the front office to make the right call on these issues however.

 

2. To much the same point as the question above is there anything you would like to see changed or added within our current locker room? Maybe something you have seen somewhere else that seemed to work?

 

Similar response as above as a new player. However if they could add those fancy chocolate bars with the nuts to the vending machine, that would be great.

 

3. Where did your choice of jersey number come from? My player wears 94 for Leafs’ legend Sergei Berezin. What about you?

 

This is rather embarrassing, but in all the commotion of joining a new team, I haven't gotten around to selecting a number yet! Expect an update on this situation in next week's presser!

 

4. Have the staff at the Halifax 21^st been as helpful to you as you believe they should have been? Have they provided you with all of the information you think you require?

 

I've only been a member of the team for about 20 minutes, but so far they have been nothing but friendly and supportive! Looking forward to the rest of the season with the team.

 

5. Is there any particular player on our team that you think could go on to have the best VHL career?

 

We've got such a special group here, I could see each and every player on the team leaving a unique stamp on the league before their careers are over. 

 

6. Do you agree with the choices for captains for the squad? Would you like to see a change in the way we select our captains in the future?

 

I have complete faith in our captain. I expect them to lead us through the trenches to greatness. As for the process involved, I get paid to stop pucks not make decisions, I'll leave that to the suits. 

 

No more questions today lads, I'm late for a dentist appointment.

[BigBallerFromDownUnder 50]

1. Our fearless leader @fonziGG has announced that we will be making some changes to our locker room this week to bring it back to its once glorious self. Is there anything you would like to see stick around that is currently in the locker room?

A: We have a pretty light hearted locker room and that’s the kind of atmosphere I like to be apart of so I hope we can keep that around.

 

2. To much the same point as the question above is there anything you would like to see changed or added within our current locker room? Maybe something you have seen somewhere else that seemed to work?

A: Sometimes it’s annoying but having a bot telling me to update is actually really helpful. Shout outs to the weeks top of earners maybe?

 

3. Where did your choice of jersey number come from? My player wears 94 for Leafs’ legend Sergei Berezin. What about you?

A: To be completely honest I just picked a number, can some remind me what my number actually is?

 

 

4. Have the staff at the Halifax 21st been as helpful to you as you believe they should have been? Have they provided you with all of the information you think you require?

A: Absolutely, they are super helpful. I am very lucky to have been drafted into a environment I can grow as a player.

 

5. Is there any particular player on our team that you think could go on to have the best VHL career?

A: We has such a special group of players, I see every player here having an amazing career. I really hope for us to meet up in the future and can play together in the VHL.

 

6. Do you agree with the choices for captains for the squad? Would you like to see a change in the way we select our captains in the future?

A:  Well as one the assistant captains I can’t complain. I think the captains just have to be the players that’s are really putting in the effort.

1. I am new to the Locker Room, but I am really liking the layout it has. With #eyes obviously being the most important channel!

4. Once again I am new to the team, but as of right now the leaders have been great. They keep the locker room active and help anyone with any questions they might have.

5. I think a lot of people are setting themselves up for a great VHL career. The most important thing is if they stay active or not, however if they do, all the people named could go on to have great careers.

6. No they seem like they genuinely care about the wellbeing of the team, so that shows that the right people where elected.

7. As I was the person traded, I am very happy to play for a contenting team, and I intend to bring my all every night and hopefully help the team to wins.

9. I always keep a penny in my sock. It is uncomfortable as hell, but it keeps me moving and helps me get a little angry which elevates my game.

1) TPE of course, helps with keeping players up to date with TPE available to be earned.

3) 43, big fan of Quinn Hughes play in the NHL

5) Ben Storm is looking great, he will be a great addition to any VHL team.

6) Yes, I like the choices that fonzi made, I trust his judgement.

7) I like the addition, we feel as though the team has an opportunity to win this season, and the addition of a strong defenseman will help us in the playoffs.

10) No superstitions, but maybe a routine I run through before I get on the ice.

[elrune1988 12]

 

 

3. Where did your choice of jersey number come from? My player wears 94 for Leafs’ legend Sergei Berezin. What about you?

 

To be honest - I am not really concerned with my jersey number. Through the ranks - I have worn so many different numbers as I was always the biggest guy on the team and had to take one of the biggest jerseys.

 

4. Have the staff at the Halifax 21^st been as helpful to you as you believe they should have been? Have they provided you with all of the information you think you require?

 

Absolutely - its great! I have been a little busy and more inactive than id like to be and they are always checking in on me! Thanks guys!

 

 

6. Do you agree with the choices for captains for the squad? Would you like to see a change in the way we select our captains in the future?

 

Being a captain is a privilege and the guys chosen should be honored. I am sure they will be great!

 

7. We recently (today) traded our first and fourth round picks in next year’s draft for defenseman Aamon Grim @aCrypticPancake. Are you happy with this move and do you think trading futures was the right move for the team this year?

Lets win! Lets make the playoffs!

 

9. Similar to the question above do you have any buddies that play on other teams around the VHLM? Someone you grew up with or played with before the VHLM? If not who is your best buddy on our squad?

 

Balentine Kidd and Telkster and I know each other and those guys are kickin in VHLM. Having some success!

 

10. Do you have any superstitions when it comes to playing the game of hockey? Maybe an old piece of equipment you haven’t thrown out in years or the order you put on your equipment?

I like to be last on and off the ice!

Halifax 21st Press Conference (September 30 – October 6)

 

Let’s keep it rolling this week with some more questions for you guys. This week we only have six rather than the 10 I provided last week. Answer them all for the 2 TPE!

 

1. Halifax has had a very solid season thus far and sits fifth in the league through 34 games. Our offense is second best in the league (127 goals for) but our defense has been a big problem and has us seventh in the league (119 goals against). Would you like us to try and add some better defensive personnel or do you think it is a tactics issue?

 

2. With that said Halifax veteran β-MOS G1 has recently lost his job to newcomer Bruce Theodore. While Theodore has put up much better stats in his five starts are you going to miss β-MOS G1 at all?

 

3. There is a team reunion dinner that includes some alumni scheduled for this weekend. The invitation says it is a potluck. What are you bringing for the team?

 

4. If the dream of playing professional hockey for a living hadn’t worked out where do you think you’d be right now?

 

5. We have been on a heater as of late going 7-3 in our last 10. Has anyone’s play over that stretch really caught your eye and impressed you?

 

6. Tell us a fun fact about yourself. We are all about getting to know our guys around the locker room better and this is a good place to start with some fresh faces around here.

Please let me know if I have missed you in the tag. Have some new players coming in so I might have.

Would you like us to try and add some better defensive personnel or do you think it is a tactics issue?

 

As the person assigned as the last line of defense for keeping the puck out of the net, I hope that I can make a positive difference for this particular deficiency. I grow as a goalie every week, and come playoff time, wish to be a brick wall.

 

2. With that said Halifax veteran β-MOS G1 has recently lost his job to newcomer Bruce Theodore. While Theodore has put up much better stats in his five starts are you going to miss β-MOS G1 at all?

 

As per the multiple bags of flaming dog doodoo left on my front porch, absolutely not! Talk about a sore loser!

 

3. There is a team reunion dinner that includes some alumni scheduled for this weekend. The invitation says it is a potluck. What are you bringing for the team?

 

As per local customs, an XL donair, and a 2-4 of Moosehead. Not sure what the rest of you are gonna have though.

 

4. If the dream of playing professional hockey for a living hadn’t worked out where do you think you’d be right now?

 

Fixing up shopping carts for cash, and bouncing around in and out of jail. It's not so bad on the inside. Probably get a few cats as well.

 

5. We have been on a heater as of late going 7-3 in our last 10. Has anyone’s play over that stretch really caught your eye and impressed you?

 

Passerelli for sure! Man has been on a major streak, putting up assists and making it look easy. Really putting the Pass in Passerelli!

 

6. Tell us a fun fact about yourself. We are all about getting to know our guys around the locker room better and this is a good place to start with some fresh faces around here.

 

I can hold my breath for a really, really long time. Best time yet is 4 minutes, 22 seconds. Doc says to stop doing it or it might cause brain damage, but I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary. But I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary. But I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary.

Would you like us to try and add some better defensive personnel or do you think it is a tactics issue?

 

A: I think you always have to come from the perspective of maximising what you got, And we have a lot here at Halifax and I think we can lock in on the defensive end. If we need more help I'm sure the staff will make the right decision.

 

2. With that said Halifax veteran β-MOS G1 has recently lost his job to newcomer Bruce Theodore. While Theodore has put up much better stats in his five starts are you going to miss β-MOS G1 at all?

 

A: Theodore is a great locker room presence and I'm super excited to work with him.

 

3. There is a team reunion dinner that includes some alumni scheduled for this weekend. The invitation says it is a potluck. What are you bringing for the team?

 

A: Australian version: I'll have to bring out my BBQ and cook up some snags for the bios.  English: I think ill cook some sausages to share with my teammates. 

 

4. If the dream of playing professional hockey for a living hadn’t worked out where do you think you’d be right now?

 

A: I think I would be getting ready to go to university in Melbourne.

 

5. We have been on a heater as of late going 7-3 in our last 10. Has anyone’s play over that stretch really caught your eye and impressed you?

 

A:Passerelli, he scores with the best of them and everyday is a learning experience with him.

 

6. Tell us a fun fact about yourself. We are all about getting to know our guys around the locker room better and this is a good place to start with some fresh faces around here.

 

A:  I'm a huge fan of Pokémon Mystery dungeon video game series, on a long road trip I love to just play to relax and let my worries was away.

I have faith that the management team will do what needs to be done to make us competitive for the playoffs. 

 

2. With that said Halifax veteran β-MOS G1 has recently lost his job to newcomer Bruce Theodore. While Theodore has put up much better stats in his five starts are you going to miss β-MOS G1 at all?

You always care for your team mates - but we need to ice the best team possible!

 

3. There is a team reunion dinner that includes some alumni scheduled for this weekend. The invitation says it is a potluck. What are you bringing for the team?

 

Rum balls!

 

4. If the dream of playing professional hockey for a living hadn’t worked out where do you think you’d be right now?

Golfing!

 

5. We have been on a heater as of late going 7-3 in our last 10. Has anyone’s play over that stretch really caught your eye and impressed you?

I think as a team we have been playing great. It would be a shame to pick out anyone specific.

 

6. Tell us a fun fact about yourself. We are all about getting to know our guys around the locker room better and this is a good place to start with some fresh faces around here.

When I was four - I presented flowers to the Queen and she is still fucking alive!

6. Tell us a fun fact about yourself. We are all about getting to know our guys around the locker room better and this is a good place to start with some fresh faces around here.

1. If you could move the Halifax 21st to any city of your choice where would that be?

 

Montreal or Edmonton, gotta keep the organization in Canada. Not sure if I'd consider moving it though.. If I had the choice.

 

2. Do you have any preference at all when it comes to hockey equipment manufacturer?

 

Reebok or Nike have always been my favorite brands but I'd suit up in anything just to hit the ice.

Obviously Canada, I'm on the team and if I weren't I'm always going to cheer for my home country.

Yes I do and the dosage is triple triple.

 

5. If you were placed in a game like The Hunger Games (think Fortnite) in real life, do you think you could win the game? Would you have what it takes to take out your competition?

Halifax 21st Press Conference (October 14 - 20)

 

Time to get you guys those weekly TPE. Answer all six for the 2 TPE.

 

1.     Is there any chance you would make to our current jersey colour scheme? Or do you like the way it current is?

 

2.     Would you like to see a return of box scores to the locker room? Someone on the staff has been slacking on this so they have not been getting done.

 

3.     As our locker room continues to develop and we have gained many new members is there anything else you would like to have added there? Anything that you think could up interaction within the locker room?

 

4.     We are nearing the end of the season in the VHLM. Who do you think has been the Halifax 21^st’s MVP thus far?

 

5.     Is there any particular VHL franchise you would like to play for based on location or other factors? I know some of you have been drafted but where would you like to play?

 

6.     Do you think we, as a team, have what it takes to take down the top guns in the VHLM this coming playoffs?

1.     Is there any chance you would make to our current jersey color scheme? Or do you like the way it current is?

 

 Nothing needs to be changed, I really like the identity.

 

2.     Would you like to see a return of box scores to the locker room? Someone on the staff has been slacking on this so they have not been getting done.

 

Yes, that's where I checked all last season and it wouldn't be hard to add that option.

 

3.     As our locker room continues to develop and we have gained many new members is there anything else you would like to have added there? Anything that you think could up interaction within the locker room?

 

A top defender would make us a deadly team.

 

4.     We are nearing the end of the season in the VHLM. Who do you think has been the Halifax 21^st’s MVP thus far?

 

Hard to pick one, Theodore has played great despite being under 100 TPE and Passerelli won a lot of games for us too.. Gotta pick Passerelli.

 

5.     Is there any particular VHL franchise you would like to play for based on location or other factors? I know some of you have been drafted but where would you like to play?

 

I'll play anywhere, don't really have a choice anyway. Maybe when I become a free agent I'll have a different answer.

 

6.     Do you think we, as a team, have what it takes to take down the top guns in the VHLM this coming playoffs?

 

Yeah, we have to play strong all the way though, no mistakes.

1.     Is there any chance you would make to our current jersey colour scheme? Or do you like the way it current is?

 

 Nothing, I am a big fan of our colour scheme and I look pretty good in it (winks at old reporter)

 

2.     Would you like to see a return of box scores to the locker room? Someone on the staff has been slacking on this so they have not been getting done.

 

I would like to see the return. Maybe make it a weekly thing for less strain on the staff?

 

3.     As our locker room continues to develop and we have gained many new members is there anything else you would like to have added there? Anything that you think could up interaction within the locker room?

 

My idea would be to give a shout out to the top earner each week, would give the team a little inside coemption and motivation.

 

4.     We are nearing the end of the season in the VHLM. Who do you think has been the Halifax 21st’s MVP thus far?

 

Passerelli, absolutely no question he is the best player on the team and he shows it.

 

5.     Is there any particular VHL franchise you would like to play for based on location or other factors? I know some of you have been drafted but where would you like to play?

 

San Diego, I love my home Australia and San Diego is probably the closest I can get

 

6.     Do you think we, as a team, have what it takes to take down the top guns in the VHLM this coming playoffs?

 

Yes, on the best day we can beat anyone!
