Halifax Raiders Interested Prospects Thread (S38)

Hey prospects!! Interested in joining the Halifax Raiders? Just fill out this quick questionnaire and let us know a little more about you.

But before we get to know you, we'll tell you a little bit about our organization. We are coming off one of our best seasons in the Season 30's era of the SMJHL, We recently went to the cup finals and lost in 6 games to the Vancouver Whalers, despite finishing second in the regular season, only back of first by 2 points. We also just had one of our best career regular seasons to date, but fell short in the playoffs. The Raiders has still been one of the best teams in the league over the past 6 seasons. In S30, we won the Four Star Cup for the second time in franchise history (the most among S25 expansion teams). In S31, we made it all the way back to the Finals, but lost to the Kelowna Knights. And in S32 and S33, we won the President's Trophy, and lost in the Eastern Conference Finals. But enough about us, we'd love to learn more about you. Just answer these simple questions:

...

1. Welcome to the league! What's your player's name & position?

2. What are you looking for from the team that drafts you?

3. What sets you apart from the other prospects in this draft class?

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?

5. How important is playing time for you in your rookie season?

6. What's more important to you: Winning/Team success or an active locker room?

7. Tell us an interesting/funny fact about yourself.

8. The acting GM of the organization is Jordin FourFour, a long time member of the SHL, and household name. If he was dying would you donate him organs/blood??

9. Favorite NHL team?

10. On a scale of 1-8 (1 being the highest), what is Halifax's draft ranking in your personal opinion?
...

Thank you so much guys, and I'm sure we'll be in touch with many of you as draft day approaches! Smile

1. Welcome to the league! What's your player's name & position?

Max Poulin

2. What are you looking for from the team that drafts you?

I’m looking to have some fun while working together to go for the cup. I want to feel like I’m with Family while winning it all.

3. What sets you apart from the other prospects in this draft class?

This is going to be hard in a class of legends but damn I’m going to try. I took on the tire fire of Portland when there was crisis situation. I face challenges head on and I’ll rise to it.

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 live in the discord.

5. How important is playing time for you in your rookie season?

Start small and work my way up. All I ask is fourth pairing as a rookie.

6. What's more important to you: Winning/Team success or an active locker room?

I can deal with any kind of situation as long as it’s active. I want to be successful but honestly, as long as the people with you are active, you can survive anything.

7. Tell us an interesting/funny fact about yourself.

I’ve skied in five countries! So I can handle kind of terrain.

8. The acting GM of the organization is Jordin FourFour, a long time member of the SHL, and household name. If he was dying would you donate him organs/blood??

I will donate blood but that’s because I must as a citizen of the world.

9. Favorite NHL team?

Penguins.

10. On a scale of 1-8 (1 being the highest), what is Halifax's draft ranking in your personal opinion?

3-5. Y’all are nice and great from my previous time in juniors. But like you’re not rivals with my old team. Annoying to play against but also I like the alumni I know there.

Karno Grönkjær, Defense

3. What sets you apart from the other prospects in this draft class?

Experience, Graphics knowledge

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 is fine, sometimes preferred

Not important at all

Active locker room

1. Welcome to the league! What's your player's name & position?

Karsten Kadinger / Left Wing

2. What are you looking for from the team that drafts you?

A fun place to play where my player can eventually grow into a top six role. A good team atmosphere is important.

3. What sets you apart from the other prospects in this draft class?

To be honest, there are a lot of really excellent prospects already. I'd like to say I'm pretty consistent and I think that Kadinger will excel once he's given the chance, but this is already shaping up to be a really stacked class and I don't know if I can fairly hype myself up over some of the bigger-name recreates out there. Maybe the degree to which I'm going to focus on goal-scoring and defense over passing will differentiate my player.

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'm cool with discord.

5. How important is playing time for you in your rookie season?

It's important, but within reason. I'm happy to play a secondary role in the bottom six as long as it takes to develop, just as long as I have a role and am part of the team. I really just don't want to be one of those 6 minute per game actives we see a lot of on SHL teams that double-shift most of their top players.

6. What's more important to you: Winning/Team success or an active locker room?

I like to win, but I like to like where I'm playing. I think they go hand in hand because active locker rooms help drive activity and all that. If I have to pick one, it's to have a good LR, since that keeps the league fun moreso than seeing W's on a spreadsheet.

7. Tell us an interesting/funny fact about yourself.

I dunno. I'm feuding with a library, does that count?

8. The acting GM of the organization is Jordin FourFour, a long time member of the SHL, and household name. If he was dying would you donate him organs/blood??

Sure. No guarantee that they're my own organs/blood though.

9. Favorite NHL team?

Colorado Avalanche

10. On a scale of 1-8 (1 being the highest), what is Halifax's draft ranking in your personal opinion?

Top 5. My draft rankings will fluctuate a lot because I really haven't been in any of the SMJHL LRs except for St. Louis, but it's a team I'd love to be on.

1. Welcome to the league! What's your player's name & position?

Jim Elliot, Defense.

2. What are you looking for from the team that drafts you?

Just a good group of people who enjoy what they do. Feedback, recommendations for stat placements, etc. Never played D before.

3. What sets you apart from the other prospects in this draft class?
This class is looking to be stacked. I started early to get a leg up but it doesn't look like that is going to matter. This one looks crazy. What sets me apart? I had a pretty good record in Montreal. I'm dedicated, I'm sticking around.

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 good with that.

5. How important is playing time for you in your rookie season?
It is what it is. I don't expect to be starting any time soon. I'll play as much or as little as you need me to.

6. What's more important to you: Winning/Team success or an active locker room?
Both are important but it's more fun to win with an active locker room.

7. Tell us an interesting/funny fact about yourself.
I hate bees.

8. The acting GM of the organization is Jordin FourFour, a long time member of the SHL, and household name. If he was dying would you donate him organs/blood??
I can't donate blood due to my country of origin. We'll see about the organs, maybe one I can spare.

9. Favorite NHL team?
Capitals

10. On a scale of 1-8 (1 being the highest), what is Halifax's draft ranking in your personal opinion?
I don't know anyone on the team so I'd put you in the 3-6 area. I'd be happy to play here though.

1. Welcome to the league! What's your player's name & position?
Thanks! Brady McIntyre - Defense

2. What are you looking for from the team that drafts you?
A team with a manager(s) that is fine with helping out the players it drafts. I'm new to this whole SHL thing, might need some help figuring some stuff out.

3. What sets you apart from the other prospects in this draft class?
I put a big emphasis on being defensively sound while being able to skate the puck and make solid passes in real life as a defensemen, I'm planning on allocating TPE in a way that'll simulate that way as well. Additionally, you'll find that when I get involved in something like this, I stay active, so if you draft me you'll have a defensemen that will be a part of your franchise for many seasons to come.

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?
Yep, I'm active daily on another discord server already, wouldn't mind adding another to the list.

5. How important is playing time for you in your rookie season?
Unless you're Connor McDavid I doubt most players willbe getting top minutes their rookie season in juniors, especially when a team has just made the finals. So honestly until I am a more developed player I'm fine with staying within my role as a rookie. But the goal is obviously to be an impact player.

6. What's more important to you: Winning/Team success or an active locker room?
An active locker room. Trust The Process is a phrase I hold dear. An active locker room will lead to success, success without an active locker room will lead to disappointment down the line.

7. Tell us an interesting/funny fact about yourself.
I'm a captain for my university's inline hockey team. Switched from ice to inline due to money and it's an awesome time.

8. The acting GM of the organization is Jordin FourFour, a long time member of the SHL, and household name. If he was dying would you donate him organs/blood??
I already donate blood like twice a year, organs on the other hand....

9. Favorite NHL team?
Detroit Red Wings, Calgary Flames 2nd

10. On a scale of 1-8 (1 being the highest), what is Halifax's draft ranking in your personal opinion?
1. A team that was the runner ups has something to prove and a winning culture. That's something I want to be a part of.

1. Welcome to the league! What's your player's name & position?
LW - DeMaricus Smyth

2. What are you looking for from the team that drafts you?
I am looking to develop and become a solid force on both ends of the ice and hopefully that translates to team accomplishments along the way.

3. What sets you apart from the other prospects in this draft class?
I am a 6'2" 197lbs Left Winger from Blansko, Czech Republic. I am looking to be a strong prospect, develop and dominate on my way to making history with the franchise that chooses to draft me. I am hoping that I can learn the system and be a team player.

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 already use discord for some other aspects of my life, so I have no issue using it here as well.

5. How important is playing time for you in your rookie season?
Playing time is something that is earned, by hard work. It is something that I am not going to demand, only earn.

6. What's more important to you: Winning/Team success or an active locker room?
Team Success is more important to me because it automatically makes the locker room more enjoyable place.

7. Tell us an interesting/funny fact about yourself.
My entire life revolves around hockey and it is a bit obsessive.

8. The acting GM of the organization is Jordin FourFour, a long time member of the SHL, and household name. If he was dying would you donate him organs/blood??
It would depend upon which organ he required and blood is always replaceable in my body. I just hope he would do so if anyone else ever came into that situation.

9. Favorite NHL team?
My Favorite NHL team is the Colorado Avalanche. Believe in the MacK Daddy.

10. On a scale of 1-8 (1 being the highest), what is Halifax's draft ranking in your personal opinion?
