Mexico City Kings Press Conference

[IamMOOSE 361]

3. I've heard that the ice in Mexico is some of the worst ice in the league, do you think practicing on bad ice helps or hurts our game?

 

King: “I’ve personally experienced some of this garbage ice. I think it’s the water they use maybe. Or the whole, hockey in Mexico City thing. Either way, 10/10 would not recommend.”

   I feel like I might get drafted in the middle rounds, but just waiting to see which team decide to snatch me up early!

2) The World Cup starts today! What are your thoughts on the structure of it? Is there anything they could change?

  It is good with how it is.

3) What is your pre-game ritual?

  Making sure I am in the right mind set before the game, need 30mins to an hour to just focus.

4) What part of your game will you work on during the offseason?

  Possibily maxing out my scoring so I can be a constant scorer.

5) Do Pineapples belong on Pizza?

  Yes, I think it could be a toppings, and just let people decide what they want on their pizza, if anything, olives shouldnt belong cause its disgusting.

6) What are your final thoughts on the play of the team this season?

  We made a good push to get to the finals, but the other team was just better, not bad getting 2nd considering we were 4th in the regular season?

 

Also, thanks for a great season KINGS!

1)What do you think are Mexico City's expectations heading into this season? We have a few good pieces and that should win us some games, I'm not really sure what to expect though.

 

2) Do you expect us to make the playoffs? Why or why not?

Yeah I could see us making it in, but teams like Houston are going to be incredibly difficult to beat.

4) Have you ever pranked any of your teammates?

I just got here yesterday so no havent even had the chance haha.

 

5) Do you have any suggestions for what our goal song should be? The King by Enter Shikari. The song is pretty hype and when it released I thought it would be perfect for the LA Kings.

 

6) What is the biggest aspect of your game you want to improve in S73? Well this will be my first season. Right now I just want to see what I'm capable of in the VHLM.

 Looking at the roster I feel we have a strong chance to be one of the top teams. 

 

2) Do you expect us to make the playoffs? Why or why not?

 Yes With me In goal I expect nothing but the playoffs and a strong run.

 

3) What song do you listen to before a game in the locker room?

    Well its not just one song. I listen to a mix of Thunderstruck by Ac/DC and a a few Five Finger Death Punch songs. Have to get the energy up before a game.

 

4) Have you ever pranked any of your teammates?

  This is my first week on the team so as of yet no

 

5) Do you have any suggestions for what our goal song should be?

   That is something I never thought of. I would be just happy with hearing the horn blasting 5 or 6 time a night as we win.

 

6) What is the biggest aspect of your game you want to improve in S73?

As a rookie in the league I look to improve on everything every night. the second I feel comfortable is when I will be passed up.
