Sven Nyckel on being drafted by Yukon

The following is an excerpt from an interview by the obscure hockey magazine Whitehorse Hockey Quarterly. They had a chance to speak to Sven Nyckel on the phone just after he had heard the news that he was heading to Yukon to play for the Rush.

 

“Yeah, I’m pretty excited. I don’t like big city life and dressing fancy and all that so I’m happy that I was drafted by a team in a smaller city. I think that will help me focus. I’m also very excited to play for a team that's named after my favourite Canadian band. Rush is basically the only band I listen to outside of the legendary Eddie Meduza. So yeah, that was exciting.”

 

...On what he thought he could bring to the team. And on being told the team wasn’t named after a band but the gold rush.

 

“Oh, well… The gold thing was probably named after the band as well. Makes sense and all. It’s a good, powerful and short name. Like Thor. Anyway, I think I can bring some physicality and defensive reliability to the team… Are you absolutely SURE that the team wasn’t directly named after the band?

I don't actually know but they have to have had at least a few golds. They do have an album called Gold too. So. Its definitely named after the band.
