What team do you want to be drafted to? 

 

I have no clear preferences right now, team-wise. I'm just happy to be here, working out, working on my game and skills with some incredible people helping me out. But if I were to give an honest answer, it would be the Ottawa Lynx and the Mississauga Hounds. Just because they were the first teams to reach out to me and ask if I had any troubles adapting on this side across the pond. Thanks a bunch to them. 

 

What kind of forward are you going to build?

 

I'm going to be an offensive minded defenseman with a knack for scoring or dishing out that last pass to an open teammate. I want to be a universal player that can help the team in every way possible. I know that sometimes I tend to do too much and too soon, but that is something I'm working on, mentality-wise. I'm still young and I'm a keen scholar of the game. I'm in the video room everyday, watching the best players perform on the ice and trying to transfer something into my own game. 

 

Cake or Pie?

 

Cake. Definitely cake. Moist chocolate cake. I'm a sucker for sweets, tho. I can eat pie, but if I'm presented with a choice between a cake and a pie, it is most definitely cake.

 

Favorite VHL/M Moment?

 

I'm still yet to have one, if I'm being honest. Of course, this trashing of Vancouver Wolves by the Helsinki Titans is quite a doozy, I'll tell ya. But for me the best moment would be to hear my name called out in the upcoming draft. 

 

Forums vs Discord?

 

Discord, definitely. It's much more convenient and I can be on it almost 24/7.

 

Worst Topping on a pizza?

 

I know It's a cliche, but for me the wors topping is pineapple. I'm not that keen on having fruits on my pizza. I like my pizza simple - sauce, cheese and meat or sausage. That's it. No need to get fancy shmancy.

 

Thanks for having me here, guys. 'Twas a pleasure.
