Interview - SDM Captaincy Awarded to Angellini

[okifenoki 172]

After a solid season in Mississauga in S72, Pietro Angellini was traded to the San Diego Marlins for a 1st Round Pick in S75. Unsure of his new surroundings as such a young player, Angellini came in with high hopes of acceptance and production with a new squad. During offseason workouts, Pietro must have made quite an impact in the locker room as he was awarded the Captaincy through a team vote. We catch up with Pietro after hearing of his new leadership role:

 

Interviewer: "Big responsibility, Pietro. How do you feel about being voted Captain of your new squad?"

 

PA: "Man, coming in totally new to the area and the team, not knowing a soul except through our games last season, I didn't know what to think. And for these guys to vote for me to be Captain, man, it just feels great. I am excited for the responsibility and hope to help the team push for a great season."

 

Interviewer: "It's not often a new player, acquired via Trade, is awarded Captaincy. What do you think your teammates saw in you that swayed the vote?"

 

PA: "There are a bunch of deserving guys on this team. Merrick @Steve and Han @Dtayl are both great guys and big leaders in the locker room. I don't know what exactly the guys see in me but I hope to live up to their expectations this season. I will bring everything I have and leave it all on the ice. We want the Cup this year."

 

Interviewer: "Those are big dreams, the VHLM looks pretty stacked through the ranks this season. What do you think sets the Marlins apart?"

 

PA: "Our locker room is tight. The guys all work hard and talk to one another about every little thing. We stay on the same page and make sure to push each other during skates and workouts. We're all in this together with a common goal. I feel right at home here in San Diego."

 

Interviewer: "Glad to hear you're settling in. Anything to say to the fans?"

 

PA: "Just know we're bringing it this season. We're going to grind day and night to be the best squad we can be, on and off the ice. Marlins are hunting this season, everyone. Let's get this season started!"
