6. If there is something you think the management should work on this Season, what would it be and why?

1. Going into S77 I honestly couldn't be more excited to get back on the ice and get the train rolling!

 

2. I got picked up in the draft.

 

3. My expectations individually aren't to high.. going into my first season, I still have a lot to learn and to grow from but my expectations of the team are pretty high, we got a good group of guys here that just want to win.

 

4. I have definitely been working on a few things for sure.. I don't want to spoil the surprise but let's just say if things go well you will here my name often on the score sheet.

 

5. I moat certainly did experience the DRAFT HYPE and to be honest I still am. An absolute unforgettable experience!!

 

6. Honestly I think management is doing great, got a great team so far and even better locker room chemistry! Management has done a lot to bring this team together and I have no doubt in my mind.

  

[KC15 340]

1. Are you excited to start S77?

Excited does not begin to describe it.  Had a great career with Guy Lesieur and can't wait to get started with Tessier.

2. Did you get picked by a team in the draft or hoping for a wavier?

I am very grateful to have been drafted by San Diego.

3. What are your expectations this season?

I first and foremost want to have a blast with my teammates on and off the ice.  Second, I'd like to make a run at the playoffs and the Cup.  Came close before, but the ultimate prize still eludes me.  Third, to build the foundation for becoming an elite 1C in the VHL.

4. Do you have a special plan for your player?

I'm going to go for as close to max earning as possible.  Let's see if I can do that for one full season and then we can worry about season 2. lol

5. Did you experience the DRAFT HYPE?
Yes, always so cool to see where you are going to start your career and then meeting all your new teammates.

6. If there is something you think the management should work on this Season, what would it be and why?

Just creating and maintaining a great LR experience.  Everything else flows from that.  I'll do my best to help.

Nope.  

4. Does pineapple belong on pizza? Yes or Yes.

No, no, and no.  You can put it there, but then it's no longer pizza.  It's some kind of abomination.

6. If the GM and AGM create a podcast called Inside the Fishtank, what are some things you would like to hear discussed?

1. IM PUMPED!!

2. My game day ritual is usually just getting down in the ice ahead of everyone.. get in a good skate to get a feel foe the ice and then always clap one bar down before going in the LR and just zoning out in my music to get in the zone till puck drop.

3. I have my girlfriend and parents in the crowd along with my 2 brothers 

4. No comment lol

5. I cannot say honestly because there are a lot of good teams this year and it could go to anyone but Houston looks like a good front runner.

6. Oh i would love to hear about LR talk, post game vibes maybe some interviews or guests with the team members and anything else hockey related to the Marlins
