1. In your opinion what do you need to do/change the most this offseason to be able to improve come next season?

I want to hit the gym hard to get stronger on my skates and work with my power skating course throughout the offseason to hopefully get some more speed out on the ice. 

 

2. Where do you hail from? and name me one thing you like about your hometown.

I come from Calgary, Alberta and when people think of calgary obviously the Calgary Stampede comes immediately to mind. The Calgary tower is pretty cool to check it out sometime.  

 

3. Are you happy currently with where the team is going? 

Well obviously im not happy with being near the bottom of the standing and im not happy about sitting out the playoffs. But, patience is key here and we just got to continue working hard in practice and really perfect our coach's system and fully buy into it. 

 

4. Do you feel like you deserve more ice time next season?

No, I don't think I can handle more ice time out there as I get enough as it is. That's the joy of playing for a expansion team during their inaugural season you can take advantage of openings in the roster and manage to score big time minutes that you wouldn't be able to get on any other VHL team. 

 

5. Who was your favourite personality this past season in your locker room?

I can't really pick one guy I love everyone like a brother we're all real tight. Blake Laughton is a cool cat i guess and well me and Alex Pearson have fun out on the town together but tend to get ourselves into trouble.

 

6. Any big plans for the offseason? Will you be attending to any event? (ex: charity golf tournaments, festivals, parties, concerts, sports events)

No not really I usually do but I want to really devote most of my time into training and fitness. I want to come into training keep ready to hit the ground running.

1. In your opinion what do you need to do/change the most this offseason to be able to improve come next season? I seem to get off to slow starts, so I feel like I need a quik start to scoring goals next season. 

 

2. Where do you hail from? and name me one thing you like about your hometown. I was born in Philly but grew up in St.Louis. I love the St. Louis Blues and St.Louis Cardinals.  

 

3. Are you happy currently with where the team is going? Yes I believe in this team. We will get better in good time. 

 

4. Do you feel like you deserve more ice time next season? Im happy with my ice time. 

 

5. Who was your favourite personality this past season in your locker room? I’m a big fan of Seabass!

 

6. Any big plans for the offseason? Will you be attending to any event? (ex: charity golf tournaments, festivals, parties, concerts, sports events) I will be definitely going to some concerts and also doing some shopping for a new house in the woods. 

 

[Cornholio 182]

1. In your opinion what do you need to do/change the most this offseason to be able to improve come next season?

 

I would have to say my offensive game - both passing and scoring. I had a nice rookie season but now that everybody has a year worth of film on me, I have to continue to evolve and grow. I’d probably also say I need to hit the weight room a little more.

 

2. Where do you hail from? and name me one thing you like about your hometown.

 

Im from Reykjavik, Iceland. One of the most beautiful and generally the happiest country on Earth because of the community that we have created in Iceland. 

 

3. Are you happy currently with where the team is going? 

 

Like everybody has been saying - I think we are a team that’s on the right path. We are very young but there’s talent and potential on our side and I look forward to seeing us grow together.

 

4. Do you feel like you deserve more ice time next season?

I was a first-liner last season - don’t get me wrong, it was a honor and a pleasure to get this immediate playing time. But my +/- leaves a lot to be desired for and that is something that I need to work on going forward. I’ll let the coach decide how much playing time I get. 

 

5. Who was your favourite personality this past season in your locker room?

 

Id probably say MEE6, the guy is persistent with his reminders and telling everybody that they’ve leveled up. At the same time, I kinda think MEE6 needs a life 
 

6. Any big plans for the offseason? Will you be attending to any event? (ex: charity golf tournaments, festivals, parties, concerts, sports events)

 

i am not an exciting person at all so just going to spend time with my family and practice with my old hockey comrades. There’s no time for fun when you’re trying to help your expansion team get off the ground and improve in Year 2.

2. Miniti is from Boston, and loves the competitive spirit there, and all the pro championships.

3. I am, I think there is a bright future ahead in Prague.

4. I will play whenever the coach puts me on the ice. I would love to play as much as possible, but in the end I have to put the work in to do that.

5. Juddy, because its nice to have another Bruins fan around.

6. I am running in the eleventh annual Michael Scott Fun Run race for the cure of rabies.

NEW PRESSER

 

1. How excited are you that your team won the VHL draft lottery?

I'm somewhat excited. I don't think we really needed it but I'm like a small child where I want it just because I dont want D.C to have it.

 

2. What's your favourite music album?

Paranoid - Black Sabbath

 

3. What is your favourite workout?

Well for cardio I really enjoy just jumping into my local watering hole and go for a swim to a nearby island and back. Strength wise I really just divide my workouts by muscle groups. Monday i'll do legs, teusday is shoulders/back, ect. ect. I usually tend to like thursdays where I work on my pectorals and triceps.

 

4. If your team trades the first overall pick what would you like to expect as a return?

Well I would think that if we trade that pick that it better be for a star goalie or another good defenseman. Id like to think that my GM would rather move down than trade the picks straight up so i'm not sure what he has up his sleeves.

 

5. Is there any upcoming VHL prospect that our team should scout for the upcoming draft?

This draft seems very thin, but since we got the first overall I would probably looking into drafting Brock Louth if we keep the pick.

 

6. Do you have any pets? If so what's their names(s)?

I got two dogs! I got a Australian Shepard named Cora and a Beagle named after @Josh from my time in the Yukon.  (yeah I named my fucking dog after you dude)

 

[Speed 126]

 

1. How excited are you that your team won the VHL draft lottery?

It's going to greatly increase our core group. I'm stoked!

2. What's your favourite music album?

I listen to way too much music to have a favorite album. I just can't choose one.

3. What is your favourite workout?

Call me crazy but I enjoy a good leg workout lol.

4. If your team trades the first overall pick what would you like to expect as a return?

Well a first round pick carries some value, so I think whatever we are getting in return should be fitting to our needs.

5. Is there any upcoming VHL prospect that our team should scout for the upcoming draft?

I didn't follow the upcoming prospects, but I hear from teammates the draft is a little thin. 

6. Do you have any pets? If so what's their names(s)?

A puggle named Kobe.

1. How have you improved over the off season and how do you think that will effect your play?

I've worked real hard at the gym in order to come into training camp a lot stronger. I also put emphasis on working on my puck skills with various different drills

2. What's your favorite thing to do in-between game sims?

Smoke a dube

3. What player are you looking forward to seeing how they progress this year?

I can't really pick one. Al Pearsson I think is gonna hit another level offensively this year, Wolfy is probably  gonna develop into one of the league's elite defenseman so that'll be exciting to watch too. It'll be interesting to see how our young rookie defenders grow into the team (Perry and Block) and I think our captain Draven can burst out of the gate as he's due for a strong start! 

 

4. What is your favorite thing about our GM?

He got us that goalie!

 

5. If we had a team dinner where would you take us and what would you recommend getting?

Montana's for their all you can eat ribs. 

 

6. If you could rename you're character what would it be and why?

The Seabass, cus really Seabass sounds good enough on it's own.

6. If you could rename you're character what would it be and why?

 

1. I have not improved as much as I wanted but I plan to a lot over these first few seasons.

2. I love reading through media pieces, some people really know a lot about the league and it is great to read.

3. Gotta say myself in my rookie season, I am excited to see how we do.

4. I love @diamond_ace I have always had great talks with him

5. Hmmm Olive Garden because its never ending Pasta bowl time!

6. I wouldn't, I chose the name after awhile of thinking, I don't want to think about another one.

[Cornholio 182]

1. How have you improved over the off season and how do you think that will effect your play?

I have been working on my offensive game and I think that will help the team out a lot. I hope that I haven't forgotten how to play defense though! We'll see how this translates in the sim engine although I do still think I need to work on my skating and puck handling to better compliment my talents. 

 

2. What's your favorite thing to do in-between game sims?

Probably check out Discord / our team LR if you're talking about sim league stuff. I wish I had more time to invest into league-related stuff, but time isn't quite on my side and this isn't my primary league either. 

 

3. What player are you looking forward to seeing how they progress this year?

I don't really pay attention too much to individuals other than my own player, but I look forward to seeing how our team progresses / develops from last year to this year. 

 

4. What is your favorite thing about our GM?

I think the fact that he is a rhino. And pretty cool, probably down to earth. That's what I like myself. 

 

5. If we had a team dinner where would you take us and what would you recommend getting?

Any pizza places. I could chow down a whole three-topping large pizza pie to myself. 

 

6. If you could rename you're character what would it be and why?

I think I would probably get rid of the Jr. part of my name. 'Cause I'm like 6'8 and 250 pounds and it's kinda funny when people call me Junior. I want to be called Wolf. But WSJ has a nice ring to it though.
