4. What is your favorite board game?

5. What do you think is our team's biggest weakness?

6. Favorite type of weather?

1. Favorite holiday has to be Chrismas, presents, good prices and seeing family.

2. This is my players first season, loving it.

3. Of course

4. Monopoly, that's easy.

5. We don't have much defensive depth, I'm almost sure we have one d-man

6. Cold, snow or in simpler terms ODR weather.

[Victor 10,911]

1. What is your favorite holiday?

- Tricky one, I think Easter because it's a long weekend that always seems to be the start of warm weather

2. Is this your first season playing with Miami if not when was your first season?

- 'tis just the first week in Miami for young Gianni Del Rocco, possibly just a short stay but hopefully we can extend it as far as possible in the playoffs!

3. Do you think we have it in ust to get the 12 or so wins to get to the playoffs?

- Well we've done it now, in spite of not being able to win that many games hahaha. Hopefully we're saving the consistent wins for the playoffs.

4. What is your favorite board game?

- I'm not massive into board games tbh and when I do play it seems to be something new and random every time. Usually good fun but I can't say I really have a favourite.

5. What do you think is our team's biggest weakness?

- Heh where to begin... Nah we have some good pieces but when we lose we seem to do so by a big margin. Keeping that scoreline down would boost confidence.

6. Favorite type of weather?

- Early and late summer when it's not obscenely hot and you can just chuck on a pair of shorts and go through the whole day in them, whether you're inside or out.

[matt sovick 20]

1. How do you think the team has done overall this season and what do you think we can do to improve if needed.

I think we have played worse than expected. If we could win more expected that would be great.

2. Do you think pineapple belongs on pizza? Absolutely. One of my favorite toppings.

3. What is your favorite restaurant?

Raising canes

4. When do you think Christmas decorations should be put up?

Right after thanksgiving

5. What was your goal for your player at the beginning of this season and do you think you have met that goal.

Help the team win. I believe so.

6. If you had to chose a different position for your player what would you chose? Goalie

[Victor 10,911]

1. How do you think the team has done overall this season and what do you think we can do to improve if needed.

- I can't speak for the whole season but I could see it was a high-scoring and leaky team when I came in. I'm not sure that's changed much but we've had a good last week of the season and stopped leaking as many goals. If we keep that up we should be a dangerous team in the playoffs.

2. Do you think pineapple belongs on pizza?

- Absolutely not

3. What is your favorite restaurant?

- There's this one place in Reading (UK, not Pennsylvania) which is run by Greeks and it is the best Greek food I have had outside Greece. It's one of like 3 places anywhere ever I have left a Google review (5 stars of course) - yes I was also drunk but by god the food melted in my mouth.

4. When do you think Christmas decorations should be put up?

- My mom's birthday is 2 December so that's kind of ingrained in my brain as the start of Christmas even though I've long moved out. Tree went up this weekend and it will forever be thus.

5. What was your goal for your player at the beginning of this season and do you think you have met that goal.

- Clearly trade deadline for me, and it was really to join a fun team where I'd be able to contribute offensively (i.e. a top two role). Full marks on all counts I think, now a playoff series upset would be the icing on the cake.

6. If you had to chose a different position for your player what would you chose?

- Every single other forward I had in the VHL was a center so I would probably veer that way - my last 2 players were a dman and a goalie so it pretty much has to be winger or center. Didn't want to dump TPE into faceoffs though so here we are.

[MSouthworth 126]

1. What's up, Marauders?! The VHLM draft has come and gone, and we have some new faces on the team...Welcome to Miami! Are you excited for the season to begin already?  Yes,I have waited for this day for a very long time.  After the Bajoran mine workers were let free and I need an escape to let my aggression out.  This will be the perfect opportunity.

 

2. We've got some serious competition out there. How are we feeling about our roster? (Link to see our current roster -> Miami Marauders Roster) Our roster is the best, there is no denying that.  By the end of the season everyone will be begging for us to quit with the beatings.  The will continue because they will teach you a valuable lesson in humility.

 

3. What kind of build are you going for your player? I am the defender that is going on a bender.  I will teach every team what it means to be docile and how to obey our commands.  Do not fear us however, it is for your own good.

 

4. What's your player's pre-game ritual?  To go down to the stockades and make sure everyone is doing what they are supposed to be doing from sharpening my skates to cleaning my jersey.  It is a basic teaching of hard work and discipline

 

5. Do you have any New Year's resolutions? Many years go after the Bajorans were set free I made a New Years resolution to never make any more New Years resolutions.  I have upheld that promise to myself and refuse to break that promise.

 

6. What is your go-to meal or food to make?  Nothing is better then I nice bottle of Kanar, but I like to pair that with a nice lively bowl of Gagh.  Nothing better then a fresh bowl of Gagh straight from Qu'nos before the game,

I am hopeful to keep my player with a strong Reaction time but really build on my saves and rebounds this season.
 

4. What's your player's pre-game ritual?

I always wear mismatched socks that are branded as my idol's brand to bring me good luck and good wishes.

I am hopeful to help pull my NJROTC unit together and help integrate our new instructor.

Ramen, I just put in in the microwave and heat it up before any sporting event.

3. I would love to go somewhere like Hawaii, I think it would be a fantastic place to relax, have fun, and it would even be nice to explore their culture and learn about it.
4. I love how pretty the site and teams are, it's pretty easy to navigate. And the simming stuff is really cool too, I like the idea of all of it, to add on, the people that I've met so far are amazing and make it all the more fun.
