Mississauga Hounds Press Conference

[STZ 5,354]

1) We're 32-3, 10 points up on the rest of the VHLM. Are we going to hold onto that and remain the #1 seed?

For sure. We are too strong, too deep, and have too much of a lead not to finish in 1st.

 

2) What do we need to do as a team to hoist the Founders Cup at season's end?

Keep it going, stay consistent. We have a lot of guys who should hit the 250 TPE Cap, if that happens, there's nothing more that we can do.

 

3) Name 1 thing you're happy with about your performance this year and 1 you think needs work.

I'm happy about my physicality. My hit total and defensive performance has been really good. I'd like to lower the amount of PIM I take, but I think that is just part of having high checking.

 

4) What teams have surprised you the most this season?

I think our team has been most surprising even to me. I mean I knew we would be good, but we have been nearly perfect which is saying something.

 

5) Do you follow any other sports besides hockey and which ones?

I follow Baseball, Football, Basketball, and Golf..

 

6) What's your favourite kind of pizza?

Big fan of the margharita pizza

 MISSISSAUGA HOUNDS PRESS CONFERENCE

 

1) Kirby Pandora has been added to the lineup to solidify our blueline. What do you think of the pickup?

2) We've slid a bit over the last few games. Have you noticed anything different with the team that led to this stretch?

3) Do you think we need to make any more moves to re-assert ourselves as the VHLM's top team, or just ride out the cold streak?

4) What do you do to stay mentally focused every shift?

5) We've got a few games left against Saskatoon, the second best VHLM team so far this season and top team in the other conference. How important is it to rebound and put up some wins against them?

6) Tell us about the best locker room prank that you've seen pulled in your hockey career.

1. I think it was a very solid pick up.

2. I think it's just been some bad luck. some games we definitely should have won.

3. I think we just gotta hold on.

4. I remember to take it one shift and play at a time.

5.It is super important so they can't make up ground on us.

6. they all usually suck

1) Kirby Pandora has been added to the lineup to solidify our blueline. What do you think of the pickup?

I think Kirby Pandora was a great pick up. 

2) We've slid a bit over the last few games. Have you noticed anything different with the team that led to this stretch?

Can't say I have noticed any major changes. We're bound to lose some on the way to glory so it is what it is. 

3) Do you think we need to make any more moves to re-assert ourselves as the VHLM's top team, or just ride out the cold streak?

Ride it out. We got this still.

4) What do you do to stay mentally focused every shift?

Taking every opportunity I have and making the best of it. 

5) We've got a few games left against Saskatoon, the second best VHLM team so far this season and top team in the other conference. How important is it to rebound and put up some wins against them?

Super important. Especially if we want to remain on top. 

6) Tell us about the best locker room prank that you've seen pulled in your hockey career.

Jersey swaps. Definitely leaves some confusion on the ice and for the players.

Not really, just a few games we have been going down and just not capitalizing.

3) Do you think we need to make any more moves to re-assert ourselves as the VHLM's top team, or just ride out the cold streak?

That's not a decision that is up to me, it all depends on what the front office will want to decide.

4) What do you do to stay mentally focused every shift?

Concentrate on warming up and minding my own.

5) We've got a few games left against Saskatoon, the second best VHLM team so far this season and top team in the other conference. How important is it to rebound and put up some wins against them?

Stay focus and don't let the pressure get to us, if we keep grinding and then we should be rewarded.

6) Tell us about the best locker room prank that you've seen pulled in your hockey career.

I can't say there's way too many good ones to list off.

1. Feels great. This is what we knew we could do, and now we really need to push forward and get that ultimate goal.

2. Nasherove went from a 19 point season to 95 points this year. He had a huge leap and proved he is the real deal.

3. Go hard every game.

4. I'd love to play close to home. East coast of the USA. 

5. I like Houston and Miami in VHLM in terms of technicals. I like Phoenic and DC as well. Vancouver has always been a cool simplistic concept.

6. Groundhog Day, Happy Gilmour, Goodfellas... I dunno too many classics.

1) I think we certainly can. this team is an absolute wagon.

2) Honestly, I hardly follow the VHL, I'm always too focused on us.

3) Most certainly. if anyone can, it's him.

4) I'd have to pull for my club Moscow

5) Frankly, I have no clue what it is. good graphic design though

6) No. Due to the fact I am not a sociopath, it is not a soup.

1. Keep the pace, don't stop working. I think we are all set and ready for the next round as we eye up our opponent Halifax.

2. Hate to say it, but Peffery Jines has been playing very well in the VHL Playoffs currently. Why not take the hottest player in the league..

3. It will be hard, only because I think our top line is ready to pop-off soon. Teams can only contain that line for so long. If their focus stays on the first line, then Pacheco should have a lot of opportunity to keep putting up points.

4. I think we will see a Warsaw/LA final, with Warsaw taking home the cup.

5. It's alright. I actually personally liked the old one. I don't think the logo was made with the intention of offending people, but we live in a world where you have to be very vanila and generic so you don't hurt feelings.

6. I think of Soup as something that can be heated up. Hot milk sounds horrible.

Juice

Sick tbh
6) Is cereal a soup? Why or Why not?

 

No, because if a soup is defined as a liquid with or without stuff in it water mights as well be soup, if you define soup as a liquid with stuff in it then water with ice cubers are also soup.

1. What are you getting up to during the Off-season?
This offseason, I spent time with my family and worked every day with my trainer.

2. Who wins the cup? Who is finishing last? (The VHLM or VHL)
I think we have a good chance to win the cup, and there are alot of teams that could be really bad, so I dont know who will finish last.

3. What is a personal goal you'd like to achieve this year?
Im just trying to get to know the guys and get comfortable with the team

4. If your new to the team, what excited you the most when you were drafted/traded or signed to the Hounds? If you're not new, is there someone who's new to the squad you're interested in playing with?
I was exited to join the squad because I only ever heard good things about them I was exited when I got the call and joined the team

5. Looking at the guys around you in the locker room, who seems to be the most hungry to win?
Thats a tough one. I think everyone wants to win, but I think Minion has the biggest stomach and is always hungry

6. What logo is your least favourite? Why?
I think the Seattle Bears logo is absolutely terrible. The color scheme looks like the rug at my grandmas house (sorry grandma)

 

LETS GO HOUNDS

 

 

 

[Baby Boomer 709]

1. During the off-season i was training a lot and i was also waiting for the draft, because i was very excited to see who would draft me

2. I think the Yukon Rush are the favorite for the Cup right now with zero regular defeat and based on our start of the season, i think that we will finish last, but we still can finish fourth in our conference.

3. I would like to be drafted top 10 overall in the next VHL draft.

4. Last year, the team did really good, so i was excited to play for a big team.

5. I will definitely go with Minion, he is obviously the guy who want to win the most.

6. Clearly the HC Davos Dynamo logo, because the logo does not mean anything, you can not really identify to this logo.
