S27 Interested Prospects
#1

Hello draft candidates!

If you're reading this and intend to reply, that must mean you've just completed your first SMJHL season. Congratulations! Everything must still be new and exciting, as it was for me way [not that way] back in S24. That's not to say it isn't still exciting for us veterans--but I'm sure most people recall getting drafted as the highlight of their careers. Also, last year was my first draft as a manager, and nothing compares to telling a player they're coming to play on the team!

Here are some statistics from last year's Portland team:

S26 Record: 17-28-5 (39 points, 7th in Western Conference)

Letting a team know you're interested in playing for them is your prerogative, but providing this questionnaire is my way of giving you a template. I understand that messaging strangers saying "hey, draft me!" can be a little daunting without context. So, without further ado, copy and paste these questions into a reply with your answers:

Code:
1. Your player's name:

3. Rate your activity level from 1-10: 8

4. What statistic from last season are you most proud of? None. My statistics were generally poor in my first season.

5. Do you want to be sent down next season, try to play as a true rookie, or have no preference?
I'd like to be a send down and that is a very strong preference. I'm not SHL ready.

6. Where does Portland rank, from 1-14, for teams you want to join?
Second or third.

7. Where do you predict you'll go in the draft?
mid first round to mid second round

8. What's your favorite part of the site/game?
Writing media that people take an interest in, growing my player week by week and the social part of the league. I like the regular rhythm of the regular season over the playoffs in the SMJHL.

9. How much of your build have you planned out?
I have a general idea of where I'm going with my build, but it is mostly a week to week decision on what to increase. I'm also role-playing somewhat where, for example, I'll work on skating endurance and strength in the off-season. Then my GM gets some input on my build as well. All this keeps the game more interesting and a bit more realistic for me.

10. You're in a bus going across the country. Are you the driver (leading the way), the navigator (telling the driver where to go), in the front (providing suggestions for the driver/navigator), or in the back (chillin', along for the ride)?
It's such a long trip that there's room to play all four roles, although I'm the navigator / advisor / teacher by nature.

11. How do you feel about joining an expansion team?
More positive than negative

12. What do you do outside the SHL? If you're a student, what are you studying? If you're in high school, what do you want to study (if anything) in college?
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Engineer

13. Name your top 5 bands/artists.

U2, Beatles, Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, (Whatever I'm in the mood for...Throw in Elton John for now)

6. Where does Portland rank, from 1-14, for teams you want to join? In the top 3.

1. Your player's name:
Wendell Luna

2. Links to player and update pages - if it's in your signature, just say that:
Both are in nice, big, bold letters in my signature.

3. Rate your activity level from 1-10:

6-I check the site every day, update every week (I missed one week this season though), but I have trouble jumping into some locker room conversation and do not always participate in the point tasks, electing instead to do a few of them, but mainly just training and activity checks.

4. What statistic from last season are you most proud of?

Shots blocked (63) because the intent was for my player to focus mainly on defending the net, not laying players out. I believe that stat shows that it worked.

5. Do you want to be sent down next season, try to play as a true rookie, or have no preference?

I will be wherever I need to be, but do expect to be sent down for another season in Detroit as that is usually what is best for all parties involved. I would prefer to be sent down another season.

6. Where does Portland rank, from 1-14, for teams you want to join?
I haven't thought about it enough for give an exact answer, but probably within the top 3.

7. Where do you predict you'll go in the draft?
Late second or third round...maybe?

8. What's your favorite part of the site/game?
The fact that with all of the stats, training, money, and media, it is like a whole separate world. I like participating in that world, however minimal it may sometimes seem that I do so.

9. How much of your build have you planned out?
I believe I have worked out a general idea of it for the next little bit. I plan on focusing mainly on defense, strength, and skating to help with stealing the puck, and focusing on passing and puck handling a little bit in between to keep those a part of his decision making. Stealing the puck means nothing if you can't get rid of it.

10. You're in a bus going across the country. Are you the driver (leading the way), the navigator (telling the driver where to go), in the front (providing suggestions for the driver/navigator), or in the back (chillin', along for the ride)?
Probably not the answer you're looking for, but you know that guy that sits in the back and sometimes comes up to the front and says "Hey I heard you guys talking about (insert topic of interest) and would like to weigh in" ....I'm that guy.

11. How do you feel about joining an expansion team?
Expansion means nothing less than opportunity to jump on to something early and build it up to something no one will ever remember being "that expansion team."

12. What do you do outside the SHL? If you're a student, what are you studying? If you're in high school, what do you want to study (if anything) in college?

College freshman currently involved in a bridge program for mathematics/dual engineering.

13. Name your top 5 bands/artists.

I did band in high school, and have a respect for all sorts of music...that being said, my preferences change way too much to name my top 5 favorite bands/artists. Here's a general outline though. NO country, NO 21 pilots, NO taylor swift.
