My Home Is Riga!

Clayton it must be hard being traded twice in a very short time span, tell us more about that. 

 

Well first off I loved playing in Seattle and appreciate the opportunity they gave me last season as a rookie. However they wanted to go for a quik cup run and I was not in that plan. I totally understand! Next I was dealt to Vancouver which appeared to be a good home for me. However shortly after the trade they acquired a very talented veteran goaltender. This made things complicated as they now had 1 solid starter and 2 backups around the same skill level. I don’t mind being a backup but I don’t want to share the position. After bringing up my concern with my former GM, I was then traded to my new home in Riga!! I pray this is my last stop because I’m excited to be here and could learn a lot from the starter Kallis Kriketers. 

 

What are your thoughts about joining Riga?

 

I’m actually beyond excited and would love to play for this organization long term! Kallis Kriketers is an incredible goaltender and it will be a pleasure to back him up. There’s a couple familiar faces that I played with/against in the VHLM like Matthews & the legend HHH! It’s always nice to know a few people but I have a strong feeling these guys will make me feel right at home! 

 

How do you feel about your game going into next season?

 

I feel like I’m getting better each day & working hard to be a goalie my teammates can count on! Last season as a rookie I worked on a lot of things and I am confident you will see a better Clayton Park this season!

 

Shoutout to @hedgehog337 for brining me to the city of Riga!!!!!
