1. Welcome to the league! What's your player's name & position?
Arthur Dayne, defenseman 2. What are you looking for from the team that drafts you?
A team that will give me the best opportunity to develop my skills with a good locker room culture. 3. What sets you apart from the other prospects in this draft class?
I care less about personal points and more about keeping the puck out of our zone and getting the team the win. 4. Most of our team's locker room conversation has been in the team's discord chat in recent seasons, is that something that you're okay with?
Sure, I'm fine with discord. 5. What are your goals for your player?
Would love to get to know other players and establish myself as a really good shutdown defenseman. Hopefully get some attention from SHL teams. 6. How important is playing time for you in your rookie season?
I don't think anyone likes to be a healthy scratch or a 4th liner, but my first season is going to be a learning experience so I don't expect to be getting 20+ minutes a game for a while. 7. What's more important to you: Winning/Team success or an active locker room?
I think it's a positive feedback loop. Winning leads to a good locker room, and a good locker room leads to winning. You can't win if your locker room is awful though, so I'd say an active locker room is more important. 8. Tell us an interesting/funny fact about yourself.
I love snowboarding.

2. What are you looking for from the team that drafts you? To have my player be developed and ready for the SHL
3. What sets you apart from the other prospects in this draft class? I'm ferda boys
4. Most of our team's locker room conversation has been in the team's discord chat in recent seasons, is that something that you're okay with? Yeah absolutely
5. What are your goals for your player? tickling the twine
6. How important is playing time for you in your rookie season? I think extremely important
7. What's more important to you: Winning/Team success or an active locker room? For my first season? Active locker room. Long run? Team success.
8. Tell us an interesting/funny fact about yourself. I can only flair one nostril
1. Welcome to the league! What's your player's name & position?
Bar Downski, Right Wing
2. What are you looking for from the team that drafts you?
Looking for some good teammates who are willing to work together to achieve our goals. I'm looking to learn from the veterans and mentors, but I'm also hungry to tear it up
3. What sets you apart from the other prospects in this draft class?
If you are looking for a forward who wont hesitate to snipe a one timey off the crossbar, look no further. I also try to play a respectable defensive game. I'm a good guy, I like to have fun, but I also want to win
4. Most of our team's locker room conversation has been in the team's discord chat in recent seasons, is that something that you're okay with?
Fine by me coach
5. What are your goals for your player?
Play well on both sides of the puck. Solid defensive and controlling game with a focus on scoring over passing.
6. How important is playing time for you in your rookie season?
As a rookie i think you can only take what you get. Its up to me to prove I'm willing to do what it takes by training and pushing my way up the lineup and forcing the coaching staff to make tough decisions. Nothing in this life is free, including ice time =)
7. What's more important to you: Winning/Team success or an active locker room?
This early on in my career I think I would benefit more from a more active locker room but being a part of a winning culture from the start usually leads to success down the road. I guess its a cop out answer to say a bit of both, but if I had to choose, I think an active locker room is more important early on.
8. Tell us an interesting/funny fact about yourself.
When I was younger I tore up the Dance Dance Revolution arcade machine and I like to think I can attribute some of my skating ability and agility to that video game.
1. Welcome to the league! What's your player's name & position?
Dionýz VyskoÄ - RW
2. What are you looking for from the team that drafts you?
A great atmosphere and great linemates
3. What sets you apart from the other prospects in this draft class?
I have gone zero to hero, from skrub to skrub lord . . . I am now a TPE whore . . . my parents raised me better
4. Most of our team's locker room conversation has been in the team's discord chat in recent seasons, is that something that you're okay with?
PGF was almost 100% in disc, so yeah
5. What are your goals for your player?
To score goals and get assists, be the best I can be offensively
6. How important is playing time for you in your rookie season?
I want to be in an important role to the team
7. What's more important to you: Winning/Team success or an active locker room?
Both are necessary to be a great team, but it is possible to have a good team without team success, so an active locker room is more important.
8. Tell us an interesting/funny fact about yourself.

Thanks! I'm Tigole Bitties. I'm a two way centerman.
2. What are you looking for from the team that drafts you?
Someone that'll put me in a position to succeed.
3. What sets you apart from the other prospects in this draft class?
My handsome good looks.
4. Most of our team's locker room conversation has been in the team's discord chat in recent seasons, is that something that you're okay with?
Sure, I guess.
5. What are your goals for your player?
Win as many trophies as possible, baby.
6. How important is playing time for you in your rookie season?
Pretty dang important, son.
7. What's more important to you: Winning/Team success or an active locker room?
Winning.
8. Tell us an interesting/funny fact about yourself.
If you swap the B and the T in my names it says Bigole Titties. Isn't that great?
1. Yuri Boyka Jr and I play C due to lack of C depth
2. All i expect from my team is to have a fun environment. Sure winning is nice but it is not a necessity. It is just a luxury. I just want a fun team.
3. As i am a recreate, you already know that i work towards getting tpe. I am an under the radar type of player who usually squeezes by many but has a big impact.
4. Don't know what discord is but willing to try it.
5. I want to make a high impact player that wins a cup for his team. I am a team first player as well. Right now, i just want to rack up my tpe and be a top player.
6. Well I wouldn't say that it is not important at all as it clearly is. Everyone wants playing time for their player but it is also important that your player deserves that amount of playing time. Hard work should be rewarded.
7. I would so both is equally important and active locker room takes the edge by a little.
8. I almost shat my pants.
1. Welcome to the league! What's your player's name & position?
Nour Harrak - RW
2. What are you looking for from the team that drafts you?
Want to be a part of team with a dedication to improving themselves and a desire to win, but at the same time not to the point of toxicity. Basically a team that wants to win but wants to have fun doing it.
3. What sets you apart from the other prospects in this draft class?
Aside from dedication, which I'm sure a lot of other prospects will offer, I have probably one of the most avenues of earning money available amongst my class, which in turn will lead to more training. I have previous experience in article writing, podcasting and graphic design, and have already created a twitter page for myself, which gives me a lot of options with which to earn money to instantly become a dominant presence on the ice.
4. Most of our team's locker room conversation has been in the team's discord chat in recent seasons, is that something that you're okay with?
Works well for me, I have Discord on my laptop and phone so I'm easy to reach through there anyways.
5. What are your goals for your player?
I want to work hard to improve myself all around, but specifically in goals. I'm coming from a very big draft class so I want to set myself apart from them as a clear top 5 player throughout my career. As a secondary goal I want to use my skills to help bring Canada closer to the top of the leaderboard in IIHF tournaments.
6. How important is playing time for you in your rookie season?
Naturally I'm going to want as much playing time as I can to really showcase my abilities as a player, however I also understand that it must be earned. I'm happy to start wherever I'm placed and earn the time through dedication to the team, both on and off the ice, to show what I can bring to the table.
7. What's more important to you: Winning/Team success or an active locker room?
In my opinion the two can very realistically go hand in hand. An active and communicating locker room is gonna be much better at coordinating and fixing team needs, and rising up as a unit rather than as individuals, with will ultimately lead to team success. If I had to pick based on that, an active locker room is much more important as it will ultimately lead to success, while also fostering a friendly community within the team.
8. Tell us an interesting/funny fact about yourself.
I predicted Crosby's OT Winner in the Vancouver 2010 Olympics Gold Medal game but refused to bet on it because I was scared I'd lose money. Always go with your gut!

I <3 discord.

Become a dominant power forward.
6. How important is playing time for you in your rookie season?
It would be nice but not a necessity.
7. What's more important to you: Winning/Team success or an active locker room?
Probably the locker room? I feel like winning teams would have active rooms tho

1. Welcome to the league! What's your player's name & position?
Isak Ødegård, Defenseman
2. What are you looking for from the team that drafts you?
I only spent one season in juniors last time around, so I'm looking for a more complete junior experience in general! Obviously it would be great to win a 4 Star Cup since I haven't gotten a chance to do that yet, but having fun with a good group is more important and what keeps me hanging around the site in the first place.
3. What sets you apart from the other prospects in this draft class?
Obviously I've been around here awhile, and have stayed active and involved the whole time. You know what you're getting with me. I'm also happy to help with mentoring new folk on the team.
4. Most of our team's locker room conversation has been in the team's discord chat in recent seasons, is that something that you're okay with?
I'm basically always on discord - if I'm not on my computer then I'm checking on my phone whenever I'm bored. Obviously some on-site activity is good too, but I think discord does lead to people getting to know each other better than they can post-by-post, and allows for voice chatting and things like game nights that you couldn't have without it or a similar client.
5. What are your goals for your player?
As I said above, to get a more thorough juniors experience. On a more personal level, I've listed him as an OFD but knowing myself I will be building him more as TWD, since I can't bring myself to ignore defense. I'm building him as a scorer, since with Russell I was always more focused on a balanced game of passing and checking.
6. How important is playing time for you in your rookie season?
It's important to me that my player is getting the playing time he deserves, but that means that on a team where there are a bunch of other players who are equally deserving I don't at all mind if I don't have that many minutes. My goal isn't to be a star at the expense of others - it's to feel like I have a place on the team where I can help as much as possible and sometimes that means helping by taking a lesser role.
7. What's more important to you: Winning/Team success or an active locker room?
Locker room, for sure! I'd love to get a Cup just because I haven't yet, and because celebrating as a team is one of the best bonding experiences in this leage. I also have been on rebuilding teams, so I understand that you can't always come into a LR that's already super active, sometimes it requires active people to come in and get it to that point.
8. Tell us an interesting/funny fact about yourself.
I'm a huge nerd (shocking, given I'm making a fake online hockey player) and lately I've been really into D&D. I'm also a big AHL hockey fan, while I obviously love the NHL and watch games on tv all the time, I go to a bunch of AHL games each season since they're so much easier and cheaper.
1. Welcome to the league! What's your player's name & position?
Gilfred Alfredsson, Defenseman
2. What are you looking for from the team that drafts you?
I'm looking for a fun atmosphere, but more importantly at least 2nd D pairing role or the first season on the team.
3. What sets you apart from the other prospects in this draft class?
I have the will and desire to be the best D man in the league. I want Gilfred's legacy to be talked about many seasons in the future.
4. Most of our team's locker room conversation has been in the team's discord chat in recent seasons, is that something that you're okay with?
That's totally okay with me. I use discord all the time. It's really an amazing tool.
5. What are your goals for your player?
To be the best Shutdown Defenseman in SHL history.
6. How important is playing time for you in your rookie season?
If my player is performing. Very important. I think if my player is continuously showing how much of a beast he is I should get more minutes. But in all honesty it sounds like I'll probably be in the junior league for at least 3 seasons. So my rookie season doesn't need to be my break out year.
7. What's more important to you: Winning/Team success or an active locker room?
Active Locker Room by far. Your team could be losing and sure that sucks, but if your locker room is active the future is bright
8. Tell us an interesting/funny fact about yourself.
I'm total nerd that plays Survivor online over discord.
1. Welcome to the league! What's your player's name & position?
Seth Paige, Defence
2. What are you looking for from the team that drafts you?
Active locker room is the big thing. Nice place to chill out with minimal drama.
3. What sets you apart from the other prospects in this draft class?
I came back to the site after a long absence just for this draft.
4. Most of our team's locker room conversation has been in the team's discord chat in recent seasons, is that something that you're okay with?
Yeah, I like Discord. May not be able to use it as often as some but I'm cool with it.
5. What are your goals for your player?
I'd like to cement myself as a strong Top 4 defenceman at the SHL level. Last player was a forward so I just want to see if I can build as effective of a player at a different position.
6. How important is playing time for you in your rookie season?
It's not. If I haven't earned the time I shouldn't get it.
7. What's more important to you: Winning/Team success or an active locker room?
Active LR for sure. I've won an 4-Star Cup before so I'm just in it for the fun now.
8. Tell us an interesting/funny fact about yourself.
I cut myself on a paper towel one time.
1. Welcome to the league! What's your player's name & position?

Mark Ruggeri, Defenseman
2. What are you looking for from the team that drafts you?
An active locker room and the guidance to succeed and bring home those championships!
3. What sets you apart from the other prospects in this draft class?
I have a little bit of sim experience being the #14 overall pick in the Inaugural NSFL draft.
4. Most of our team's locker room conversation has been in the team's discord chat in recent seasons, is that something that you're okay with?
No issues here!
5. What are your goals for your player?
As of right now I just want to build a strong dependable player, maybe a bit of a big hitter. The #1 goal is ALWAYS winning however.
6. How important is playing time for you in your rookie season?
Not huge. I know my time will come just gotta keep at it. Play my best whenever I have the opportunity. Keep earning the TPE
7. What's more important to you: Winning/Team success or an active locker room?
Thats actually really tough and I feel they go hand in hand..But i'd still rather win.
8. Tell us an interesting/funny fact about yourself.
I have never owned a cellphone consistently in my life. I probably never will.
1. Welcome to the league! What's your player's name & position?
Chase Byron - Defender
2. What are you looking for from the team that drafts you?
Great team atmosphere and a team that can give me advice on character builds.
3. What sets you apart from the other prospects in this draft class?
I have ocd when it comes to improving myself. Not going to stop working hard on my development until I'm elite.
4. Most of our team's locker room conversation has been in the team's discord chat in recent seasons, is that something that you're okay with?
Yes. It would feel like i'm part of a team
5. What are your goals for your player?
I want to spend the first year just developing and getting better. That means being as active as I can.
6. How important is playing time for you in your rookie season?
Very important, but I know playing time is not given and I must earn it.
7. What's more important to you: Winning/Team success or an active locker room?
Winning. In any sport the ultimate goal is winning it all.
8. Tell us an interesting/funny fact about yourself.
