Interviewer

"Did you have any goals set for yourself for your first season in the VHL?"

 

Markus Schauer

"I just wanted to put up 30 points this season. I've been practicing putting my body out there more and getting pucks on net. The luck just hasn't been with me this season I don't think but the team has been great and I love playing with them. Hugh Jass has been a big help with my game. As long as I can help the team then I've accomplish my goal."

 

Interviewer

"What's it like in the big leagues?"

 

Markus Schauer

"I mean you're playing the best of the best. It has really opened my eyes to what some guys can do out there. For a while I thought I was the best but coming here has taught me to be humble and appreciate the talent around you. Sometimes you just have to appreciate a nice play - even if it's against you. There isn't much more than that. The maturity in peoples games is what I'm hoping to put myself over the edge and really complete my game."
