Pre-draft interviews are all the same. How have you been preparing for the draft? What teams are you interested in? What are your strengths and weaknesses? We don't care about any of that. We want the dirt, the little known facts.

Task:
Tell us 5 facts about your player -- anything you want that isn't something we could learn in a generic interview.

Gain:
2 TPE for doing the thing

Only S44 SMJHL Rookies (S45 SHL Rookies) are eligible for this task. DO NOT CLAIM THIS TPE UNTIL A POST IS MADE IN THE CLAIMS THREAD.

Deadline:
the start of the S44 SMJHL draft

1. Dom's favorite current SHL player is Mia Landvik, because one of his moms (Karin) is from Boston and when he was just old enough to start comprehending hockey, Mia Landvik won a Challenge Cup in her first season in S30 and again in S31, so he has always idolized her.

3. His first time getting drunk was illegally on his moms' pontoon boat on Lake St. Clair in Michigan. He got a very bad sunburn that day.

4. Dom's favorite color is purple.

5. He's afraid of cats but still kind of wants one even though his parents have two dogs.

Hiro Fujikawa

1. Some GM's may not know who I am originally, but that's okay. I've been on the site for as far as they eye can see. I first joined the SHL in Season 2.. Long time ago :D

2. My best player on the site was Magnus Jakobsen. I went so hard with him and was growing at an alarming rate. It used to be myself and Anriaknen (always mess up that name still) running off with the TPE and going head to head. He found himself in the HoF and I had so much fun with him as a player.

3. I wish to create another player like that. I want him to be a dynamic, talented scorer who represents Japan extremely well and honourably.

4. I will never return to my quite self on here. I used to be active, blab like crazy on here and talk with so many people. You will find me confined within the small portions of the forum and the LR. That's where it matter anyway. haha

5. I'm happy to go to any team. So many new members have come, some gone since my extremely active days. Members shifted, teams shifted and I'm so out of form. Hamilton Steelhawks will always hold a special place for me, as will Toronto - but I'm 100% open and willing to play with anyone, anywhere. Same thing applies for the SMJHL - though, Montreal is #1 with the rest being #2. They were the only ones to go for me when it was my signing time!

Just realized I'm not eligible lmao well I can't delete so I'll just leave this here

1) Ola Wagstrom took violin lessons for two years in middle school. He likes to listen to calm music to this day, mainly classical, it helps him to focus.

2) Ola Wagstrom's favorite food is spaghetti; he loves Italian food and marinara sauce particularly is delicious to him. Whole wheat pasta or bow ties are his favorite types of pasta!

3) Outside the arena, Ola Wagstrom loves to sport Converse shoes; he has 5 pair at home. He loves having an array of colors, and currently can select from red, navy, light blue, black, and gray to match his wardrobe.

4) Ola Wagstrom's first car was a used silver Ford Prius, which he kept for three years before trading it in for his current, new red Nissan Altima.

5) Ola Wagstrom's favorite cardio exercise is the StairMaster; he loves how it builds up endurance and the burn in his thighs. It's the exercise that's guaranteed to cause him to break a sweat and get winded.

Nolan Sawchuk
1. He is a big fan of Edmonton Blizzard fan Oisin Fletcher and wants to model his game after him.

2. His parents moved to Iceland 3 months before he was born. They are both originally from London, Ontario.

3. He grew up playing soccer as well as hockey and might even be better at it.

4. Nolan has a dog named Oscar that he got as a gift from his parents when he moved to North America to play in the SMJHL. They hoped he wouldn't be as homesick if he had a friend with him.

5. He has no relation to the legendary goalie Terry Sawchuk, and is starting to hate answering that question. He might punch a reporter soon if they ask one more time.

* * 5 Facts about Gareth Rush you didn't already know * *

Gareth Rush is a cat person and has a pair of felines, (named "Lucky" and "Millie"), back in Dublin. He absolutely despises dogs. When asked why he prefers cats to dogs, Gareth says, "Cats are simple; empty the box and fill the bowl. I refuse to walk an inferior being and pick up it's shit with my hands. I'm embarrassed when I see people following behind their dogs, carrying their little bags of dog turds. Makes you wonder who's really on the leash".

Gareth doesn't play video games and has no idea what Fortnight is. "Grown men are as equally obsessed with this game as children," says Gareth. "A lot of my teammates play. I've looked over their shoulders and I honestly don't get it. If you're going to play games, lace up the skates and lets play."

His favorite movie is "The Town"; although, Gareth says it's a "bad movie". "I'm obsessed with the movie for a lot of reasons. I love the city of Boston, for one, and the movie is laced with Irish innuendo. But perhaps I love it the most is because Blake Lively plays a hot, little piece of white trash. Yes, I said it."

Gareth cannot stand it when hairstylists try to small talk and cashiers comments on the items he's purchasing at the market. "Only hockey players can do their jobs effectively while running their mouths on the job", says Gareth. "And why the fook do hairstylists always break the ice by asking how the weekend was or if we have any plans for the weekend?"

Gareth once scored three goals in a semi-final game while playing with the flu. "I remember that game vividly because I shit my pants halfway through the first quarter", he says. "I damn-near missed half of the second quarter while sitting on the toilet and trying to get it all out." When asked if he's embarassed by the incident: "Hell no", he said. "I come from a long line of pants-shitters. My father was a pants-shitter. His father and his father's father were also pants-shitters."
