 MISSISSAUGA HOUNDS PRESS CONFERENCE

 

1) How are you feeling about the team's chances for next season?

2) What's the typical day in your player's life look like?

3) What's your jersey number? Is there a reason for it?

4) Why did you pick the position you did?

5) Which Hounds player do you think will have the best VHL career?

6) Any playoff surprises for you so far? Who's going to win between Mexico and Houston?

1. I'm feeling pretty good about starting my career here in Mississauga. I've heard great things about the history of the Hounds Org and I can't wait to be apart of it.

2. I always start the day with a hearty breakfast and some morning yoga. Then either hit the ice and the gym. Finally I'll cool down in the sauna before relaxing each night.

3. 79 which is the year Greenland was founded.

4. I just want to put pucks in the net. That's a lot easier when you are a forward.

5. Hard Markinson is easily going to be a great VHL player.

6. It was great to see Mexico taking the cup. It's always surprising to see a team based so far south win at hockey.

1. I'm really happy with this group. There were a few destinations I was interested in, but it's always great when a team has a load of picks and are competitive. There are a lot of familiar faces both new and old - very excited for this upcoming season!

2. I really like our chances. I think the Hounds will bring it home!

3. There were some really solid picks. I think they drafted some great players who will hit the cap, but also found a good mix of active locker room voices. Will make for a great year.

4. I'm excited for the draft next season. I'm open to playing anywhere!

5. I've recreated so many times, so I have used all my names... lol.

6. I love Canada, I'd stay here. I actually live relatively close to Mississauga

5) What are your expectations for your own player in S77?

6) Which team do you think will be the Hounds' biggest obstacle in pursuit of a Founders Cup title this year?

 

1. Very excited. My goal for my VHLM career was for team success. I was lucky enough to get a Cup with Mexico City last year, and when I saw the Hounds drafted me I was thrilled. Not only did they have a lot of draft picks (Z hit on a lot of them) but already had a very strong core.

 

2. I'm not too sure. I had pre-draft interviews with Houston and Saskatoon. Saskatoon actually traded the pick that drafted me, so I'm assuming their interest wasn't there. A few other teams passed on me too. Nothing held against those teams, but it definitely makes me appreciate Mississauga for believing in my player and what I can bring both in sim and in LR.

 

3. I think Nasherov is going to be a killer for us. We have a strong defense core as well, Lund was a great pick-up, should be a huge anchor to our team-D while we all get to that 250 TPE cap.

 

4. I can add a lot. I'm not the type to tell anyone what to do, but I'm open and always willing to help. I have a lot of years experience in this league, so I can offer up advise if requested. Otherwise, I'll stay in my lane, try and keep the discord active, and make my player as effective as I can.

 

5. My expectations are that we go on a deep playoff run, my player hits the 250 TPE cap, and hopefully get drafted in the Top-5.

 

6. Sim Luck. We have all the tools needed to win, SimonT just can't be a bitch to us.

1) Mississauga looks poised to contend this season, how excited are you to be a part of that?

 

Im stoked, the LR has been very active the past couple of days and it's really fun to be there and chat with others.

 

2) Were there any other VHLM teams out there that would have interested you?

 

Mexico, only because that's where i started my career and made several friends there, other than that i didn't have any preferences.

 

3) Who do you think the key new additions for the Hounds are this season?

 

I'm not really knowledgeable about the new people this season but i think that the heavy draft has been a huge factor.

 

4) If you're a new player this year to the Hounds - what do you think you'll be able to add to the group? If you're a returning player, what's different about what you're going to bring to the table this season?

 

I'm trying to be active in the LR and try to earn as much tpe as i can per week.

 

5) What are your expectations for your own player in S77?

 

i've written a Media spot about this but my expectations for this season is 12 goal, 20 assists which makes for a total of 32 points.

 

6) Which team do you think will be the Hounds' biggest obstacle in pursuit of a Founders Cup title this year?

 

As this is only the beginning of the season it's hard to say but from what i've seen so far Houston seems to be the biggest obstacle this season.

[Midnite 69]

1) Mississauga looks poised to contend this season, how excited are you to be a part of that?

Very excited. Definitely feeling good about this season.

4) If you're a new player this year to the Hounds - what do you think you'll be able to add to the group? If you're a returning player, what's different about what you're going to bring to the table this season?

Honestly much of the same. Maybe some added defense if anything

5) What are your expectations for your own player in S77?

Being a scoring machine!

6) Which team do you think will be the Hounds' biggest obstacle in pursuit of a Founders Cup title this year?

Houston Bulls

1) 14-1-0 to start the year, is that what you expected from this team?

 

i knew that we had an insanely good team with a ton of potential to go deep in the playoffs but these stats are insane, we are playing out of our minds rn.

 

2) Are you living up to your own expectations as a player (or GM) so far?

 

I'd say so, ive put up 20 points in 15 games which gives me a 1.333 PPG% which is not the best but still very good.

 

3) Who do you think has been the MVP of the team so far this season?

 

Many great players but i would give to to Luke Spinelli as he has been playing super good so far in the season.

 

4) What do you think of the addition of Gaspar Zakrevsky to an already deep lineup, what will he bring to the squad?

 

Great addition, i think he can make us even better than we already are.

 

5) How do you spend your days off during the season?

 

Relaxing and just chatting with other people.

 

6) What's your favourite thing to order when the team goes out to eat?

1) Less than expected. We should be 15-0-0

2) Frankly, I expected to be potting more goals, but I am a ppg player, and my scoring should come along quickly because my shot % is not nice

3) Spinelli's been nuts in the net. Great backbone to a great team.

4)I think he'll bring good depth and a strong game to an already stacked team

5) At the gym. I love to lift.

6) I'd have to say Pork Tenderloin.

6) What's your favourite thing to order when the team goes out to eat?

1. I think we are built like a powerhouse team. We should be on top of the league at the end of the year, which will give us optimal seeding for Playoffs. I think Finals is a pretty realistic expectation, and we should be the favorites entering the final series.

2. I think so. I was a fourth overall pick; I'm an active locker room presence, and I've been a max earner my whole career. Doing everything I can for the team.

3. Luke Spinelli has been lights out for us. Nasherov has been a killer as well.

4. I think it adds another piece to an already deep and heavy team. 

5. Working out and eating copious amounts of protein. 

6. Chicken Parm

2. Yes for the most part. I would like to see more scoring from me.

 

3. Spinelli has been super good locking it down for us.

 

4. I think it's a greta addition that will help us all around.

 

5. Sleeping and hanging out with family.

 

6. Pasta or pizza!
