1) Were a growing team that is getting lots of assets for the future. We’re not the strongest team but give it time and then we will be a strong competitor.

 

2) There are 3 players from S66 that are an important part of the rebuilding process. Shane Mars, Valeri Morozov and Kari Jurri. Also I think I’m a big part of the rebuild as I am a young goaltender that can be counted on down the stretch. 

 

3) I think a centre would be wise, I have looked at the talent and think Boris the Forest would be a great pick! He is getting better everyday and putting up good numbers in the VHLM. Also how can you not love that name ???!!!

 

4) Vancouver, they added a lot of young depth and will be a tough team to beat.

 

5) Helsinki vs Malmo in the finals with Helsinki taking home the cup!

 

6) It’s hard to say as I’m not sure on the number of starts I’ll get. However I’ll try my best lol.

Were in a rebuild and I understand that so the numbers reflect it. I am just happy to get a decent amount of starts as a rookie and gain VHL experience!

6. What are you expectations for your player next season?

1. Were gonna be set for the future honestly.

2. It’s gonna be an exciting team in the next 4 seasons

3. I’m not gonna say anything (Martin, Funk, Scoringson) you heard nothing

4. We’re not gonna do great but we might be a wildcard

5. It’s gonna be an amazing future

6. 40 points maybe nothing crazy. 

[leafssteen 50]

1) I believe it’s great because we can draft young talent and work towards a strong future.

 

4) I think we’re a young team that will get better and you will see a better bears team this season.

 

5) I think there’s a cup in the next 3 seasons!

[PenKnight 23]

1. All of those picks and you blew it by not picking up Derek England... how do you explain that?

2. Did you know that Derek England is a madman who buys TPE every season and does all the TPE task?

3. How will you feel when the Titans roll over you in the upcoming seasons?

4. Did you know that you are 67 times more likely to get killed by a dog than a bear lol?

5. Can the Bears actually not finish last in the standing this year?

6. What do you think about the Space Needle?

7. Do you go to Mariners Games?

8. Do you go to Seahawk games?

9. Don't you hate it when the fans do that whole C-Hawk Chant?

10. How will you compete with the new NHL team coming to town??

[Dangles13 373]

1. What are your thoughts on the Bears having 3 1st round picks in the upcoming VHL draft? 2nd, 5th and 7th overall!

2. What are your thoughts on the Bears having 8 picks in total in the first 2 rounds of this draft?

3. Who do you want the Bears to pick at the draft?

 

1. Seattle management has always been creative at adding new talent and this deal is typical for the GM. Very pleased with it.

2. Like I said, the GM works the phones hard and is always looking for an edge and the best players available.

3. I think Seattle could benefit from pretty much any player at this point. Maybe locking up the future 1C or 1D would be a good bet.

[Smarch 3,177]

1. Thoughts on the Bears next season?

I think we may surprise some people around the league. We have a good roster with some young depth and a good goalie that will be only getting his feet wet. Anything is possible.

 

2. What team is going to place last in the VHL next season?

Davos. They really unloaded for some good future pieces, but I don’t think they will have a good season next year.

 

3. Who goes 1st OV?

Well now the draft is over, just looking back at who actually was selected First Overall, that was a huge surprise in my opinion. Hedge seems to know what he is doing so I won’t question him.

 

4. What logo is your least favourite? Why?

Davos. Love playinng for the team, just not a fan of the logo or colour scheme.

 

5. Predict who is going to be the VHL's MVP this season?

I predicted Julian Borwinn. Had a great season last year with 51 goals. Helsinki will be good again and so will he in my opinion.

 

6. Which goalie in the VHL is gonna reign #1 and collect some awards?

Alexander Pepper will have another great season. Another season or two like last year and he might be in the elite category and a HOF candidate moving forward.

[HenrikZoiderberg 469]

1. What are your thoughts on Seattle right now? 

 

We're the youngest, best built, most exciting team in the league. We may not win this cup this season, but we've got a lot of star power that can bring it and we'll all reach out peaks around the same time. This could be the trappings of a dynasty.

 

2. Who are some key players moving forward in Seattle's rebuild?

 

There are so. fucking. many.

 

Our top six right now is:

 Burn @Acydburn - Ylonen @Esso2264 - Mars @Spade18

Morozov @Dangles13 - Greene @DoktorFunk - Zoiderberg

 

That's an incredible crop of young, high-scoring forwards who are only going to get better over the next eight seasons. Knock on wood, but if that group sticks together, their names will be on the cup.

 

3. What are your thoughts on the next VHL draft? Who do you think the Bears should target?

 

@Banackock positioned himself incredibly well this draft in acquiring new talent. We're not in a win-now mentality, as long as we continue to draft and develop, we'll be in great shape.

 

4. What team is surprising you this off-season?

 

I can't believe the Wolves reached to pick up Michael Gary Scott @Motzaburger and not his linemates from the Mexico City Kings. There was so much talent on that line and although they picked out the best of it, they had the opportunity to get so much more.

 

5. Who wins the cup? Who is the losing team?

 

Helsinki's looking like the team to beat yet again, but they'll age out eventually. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Bears near the bottom of the league for a couple of more seasons, but once our talent comes online we'll be firing on all cylinders.

 

6. Predict your statistics for the seasons end. Are you happy with those numbers?

 

If I end up going 30-30-60 I'll be a happy guy, but I'm going to push to do even better than that.

 

[DoktorFunk 810]

5. I think the Bears future is nothing but bright. I'm excited to be a part of it and hoping to kick a lot of ass in the coming seasons.

17. Gotta go with the home town on this one. Richmond is a great city that has always loved hockey, and Virginia is a state in need of a team. I would name them the Richmond Red Dragons.

26. I always kiss my hand and slap the roof of the car while running a red light. And I always listen to the same album (Live at Leeds by The Who) before every game.

Well my goal is to not be the worst goalie next season. Hopefully I can do well, maybe ROTY candidate.

 

30-30-12

 

Helsinki vs Toronto. Helsinki is going to repeat.

 

Acyd Burn, he will prove his worth for being drafted "early"

 

NYA/MOS/MAL Tough bet here

 

Ylonen will fit nicely. I would guess he will be our top line center for the upcoming season.

7. 32 assists and 14 goals.

8. Helsinki, or Davos, or Toronto, or Calgary.

9. HHH he just needs to play.

10. Not the bears. Either Toronto does really well or places past imo.

11. Ylonen sadly might take my 1st line spot, but Esso is my dad so.

12. Who is that, some irrelevant? Esso can you not? Oh wait this is Bana's PC.

[Dangles13 373]

What are you expectations for your player next season?

I just want to keep developing into a bruising power forward who can crush opponents and chip in some offence. 

 

Who is your favourite player in the VHL - not including yourself, hehe.

Hulk Hogan, the dude saw me fight a car and then decided to get in on the action a few moments later.

 

Who are the leagues biggest goons?

Valeri Morozov and Aston Martin fight to a draw at 6:52 of 1st period
Hulk Hogan and Aston Martin fight to a draw at 14:11 of 1st period

These 3 guys right here are a bunch of crazy ass guys who will chuck knuckles at the drop of a hat.

5.) Same as 4.. next season

6.) This season, not so great.

7.) I doubt i'll get over 20 goals and 20 assists

8.) I think it's going to be helsinki and toronto

9.) I think Ylonen is going to surprise some peeps.

15. What logo in the league is your favourite? why?

 

The Bears of course! The use of burgandy, black, and gold isn't something I've seen in any league, but its so perfectly executed and blends extremely nicely. It's also very easy to find uniform pictures that blend with it well. I just wish we had more assets for the third logo:

 

 

16. What logo is your least favourite? Why?

 

Riga, I'm sorry, but have you seen this thing:

 

It reminds me of the lion taxidermied by someone who'd never seen a lion:

 

 

17. If you could expand anywhere for the VHL, where would it be and what would you name the team?

 

The Montreal Nordiques has a nice ring to it. Maybe something like this:

 

18. Predict who is going to be the VHL's MVP this season?

 

I feel like Julian Borwinn @Jubo07 is going to be unmatched. Not only is he a prolific scorer, he has the team backing to succeed. That's almost more important than raw skill in today's game.

 

19. Which goalie in the VHL is gonna reign #1 and collect some awards?

 

Whoever the netminder is for Helsinki is going to have another runaway season. Who is that now, Alexander Pepper? @Sonnet Yeah, Pepper's gonna pot it.

 

20. Who are the leagues biggest goons?

 

Call me biased against our rival, but don't get me started on that Beau Louth @Beaviss guy. I'd like to put him over the boards and teach him how we do things in Sweden. I'm surprised an old man like him hasn't learned a little more respect after this many years in the league.

Condor Adrienne

Got to give it to Malmo here, new and fresh.

Going to go with New York, while not being bad it could use a real logo and not a soccer shield

Nuuk Nukes, for obvious reasons, they'd be the bomb

Julian Borwinn, One of the best players in the league on paper if not and is also likely the leagues leading scorer

Alexander Pepper, backed by a top 3 team, Pepper will be the best yet again

@Spade18 @Walter Fizz @leafssteen @Elhandon @Dangles13 @Da Trifecta @gregreg @Esso2264

25. All carbon fiber, red and black colored everything. 

20. Hulk Hogan, for sure

15. Da Bearz, because look at how awesome it is.

11. Ylonen is good, for sure. Bird Cult for Life.

28. Yes.

9. I'm gonna say Hulk Hogan, because he'll become the league's leading scorer again.

[Esso2264 774]

11. That kid is a bum, trade the man

13. Malmo because its different

14. NY, just a soccer logo

[Smarch 3,177]

1.. Who is your favourite player in the VHL - not including yourself, hehe.

 

I would have to say since joining the league and watching the defenseman in the VHL, Joseph McWolf caught my eye. Guy is a rock on the blue-line for the past couple of seasons and has come away with some hardware for his impressive work

 

2. Which player would you consider your players rival?

 

I don’t think anyone knows I play in the VHL, even some guys on the Bear. So with that I don’t even have anyone that comes to mind. I’m really just trying to play my game but when I do compare myself to anyone it would likely be someone in my draft class to see how I stakc up post draft.

 

3. Do you feel like you have a rivalry with a  team, or a GM you hate losing to etc?

 

I mean playing in the North American Conference It’s almost a given that we have to hate the other four teams in the conference. I don’t want to lost to them and you really up your game when it’s a conference game.

 

4. What kind of equipment does your player use? (gloves, stick, pads etc)

 

I like to go basic with my equipment since I have found something I have liked and have stuck with it. I wear all Bauer equipment including gloves, helmet, and stick.

 

5. Does your player have any weird superstitions? 

 

I try to eat the same meal of eggplant Parmesan before each home game and steak and rice when on the road. Easy road meal to avoid any illness.

 

6. Does Beaviss Suck?

 

Beaviss sucks in Vancouver and sucked in Quebec, so yes

10) I'm hoping we're going to be last this season to get a decent pick, but I think it's going to be the NYA.

11) I see him fitting in first line center

12) Who?

13) 2,5,7

14) Lincoln Tate

15) Da Bearz

[HenrikZoiderberg 469]

21. Tell us about your day.

 

So far so good, its a beautiful day out on the West Coast, the sun is out, the sky is clear, and there's dollar drop-in skates all around the city.

 

22. Who is your favourite player in the VHL - not including yourself, hehe.

 

This will come as no surprise to anyone @Motzaburger

 

23. Which player would you consider your players rival?

 

Can your best friend also be your rival? Again, Michael Gary Scott. We steel ourselves against one another and train together on the weekends. He's the Garry Oak to my Ash Ketchum.

 

24. Do you feel like you have a rivalry with a  team, or a GM you hate losing to etc?

 

I want to say Vancouver, but honestly we're giving it to Helsinki so good this season that they've got to be mentioned. There's nothing more satisfying than beating the best team in the league over and over again.

 

25. What kind of equipment does your player use? (gloves, stick, pads etc)

 

Stick: Warrior Covert QRE

 

Glove: Warrior Covert QRE

 

Helmet: Warrior Alpha One

 

Skates: Bauer Vapor 1X 2.0

 

26. Does your player have any weird superstitions? 

 

I've got this sneaking suspicion that my people (the Swedes) will have something to do with anchovies going extinct in the near future. We can't help it. They're delicious.
