Jaxon Walker on Mississauga’s rough start

[hewasajazzman 11]

      The Mississauga Hounds of the VHLM have had a less than stellar start to the s67 regular season. They have come out the victor in just one of the five games they’ve played so far, being completely shutout in two of them. We caught up with Mississauga’s top line right winger, Jaxon Walker, on what he thought about the Hounds season thus far.

 

      VHL.com- “Glad to have you, Jaxon… The Hounds have had a tough time right out of the gate this season, how do you guys keep your heads up moving forward?”

 

      Walker- “Well honestly I think we kind of knew going into it. We were prepared for this sort of outcome from the start and that's made it easier to accept it and move on. We know what we are up against, top teams with top talent, but I don’t think we’re too far away from being able to contend with them. The right piece or tweak is all it takes for a team to find their footing and I’m confident we can trend in the right direction, so what if it takes a season or so.”

 

      VHL.com- “On the bright side of things, you guys recently recorded your first win of the season against Mexico City. You scored your first VHLM career goal, the game winning goal on the power play… take us through that moment.”

 

      Walker- “Oh man, it was exciting to say the least. We saw a chance to put the game away on the power play and we went for it. We had a good mindset going into it, get the puck to the net and win some battles in front. I just happen to corral a wild rebound off the chance from Jeff and fired it in. From there we knew we could let off the gas a bit and just try to settle things down. Even though the Kings chipped one in later in the third we were able to fend them off until the horn sounded.”

 

      VHL.com- “Thanks for coming Jaxon, looking forward to the rest of the season.”

 

      Walker- “Thanks for having me.”
