The start of the SMJHL draft

- Player Name: Grogu Mandosson

- Position: Center

- Recreate or First-Gen? Recreate

- Recreates: Who was your last player? Goku Muerto

- First-Gens: How did you find the site? N/A

- Discord Username (full tag, including #numbers): Kez#9897


----------------

- Do you follow any hockey teams outside of the SHL, be they in the NHL or other hockey leagues?

Edmonton Oilers



- How many hours a week do you usually have free? (ie. 1, 3, 6+, etc.)

I have no free time, I spend all my time on SHL. I will never be free.

- Is water wet?

Not when it's frozen

- Locker rooms take place on discord. Do you use it and how often? If not, would you be willing to try it to be a part of your team’s locker room?

I am on Discord and apart from when I am not working or sleeping, I am usually on it

- What are your general expectations of your juniors career? Are you looking for a long and successful career as a junior player, or are you hoping to be called up to the big leagues as soon as possible?

I have never had a player spend more than 2 seasons in Juniors, this time I would like to have the full career arc of rookie, vet, then 1 or 2 seasons of capped star

- Have you ever heard about Kelowna before joining this league?

I have been to Kelowna many times IRL and it is beautiful. Go if you have a chance. If you mean the Kelowna Knights, I was drafted there in S14 with my first player, and was GM for 2 seasons back in S19/20

- How do you feel about walruses?

Fried in butter with some garlic and onions, they are pretty good

- What is your general life philosophy? You can go into as much detail as you want.

The first corollary to freedom is the freedom to accept the consequences of your decisions.

- Please finish the following sentence:
“Defense is _______________.”

Key. If you can not take the puck away from the other team, you will lose the game.

- What do you value in your team locker room?

Positive attitudes even if the sim product doesn't go your way. Welcoming and inclusive. Encourage everyone to participate as much as they can without pressuring anyone. Discussion about Loki the series which is starting soon omg. Remember everyone is here to have fun.

- What’s your favorite Pokemon? Why?

None. Even my kids are too old for pokemon.

- What type of player are you looking to build? Are you looking to play a more offensive or defensive role?

My initial build is based on the Counter-Attacking Forward role from FHM, and that will be my eventual SHL role. The idea is to be defensively responsible but also to be able to turn the puck up the ice based on speed and precision passing to get a shot on goal or create a scoring chance. That being said, SMJHL is different than SHL and I don't know much about what is most useful with a limited cap build. I am 100% open to building my player towards what is best suited for the role the team has in mind. Right now I am just banking any TPE until after the draft so whatever would help the team the most is what I will do.

- Do you follow any hockey teams outside of the SHL, be they in the NHL or other hockey leagues?
- I am an Avs fan and I losely follow my home town team in the 2nd Slovakian league but eh.

- How many hours a week do you usually have free? (ie. 1, 3, 6+, etc.)
- Like...40+? I guess, I don’t really do things in my day that would block me from being around the SHL.

- Is water wet?
- Short answer is yes. Long answer is unlocked with a small payment of 7,99 €.

- Locker rooms take place on discord. Do you use it and how often?  If not, would you be willing to try it to be a part of your team’s locker room?
- Wouldn’t you like to know weather boy?

- What are your general expectations of your juniors career? Are you looking for a long and successful career as a junior player, or are you hoping to be called up to the big leagues as soon as possible?
- As a GM, I kinda just go with what the team needs, Js are just a stepping stone so what happens happens I guess. Obviously would love to have success but hey.

- Have you ever heard about Kelowna before joining this league?
- Considering I am a stinky euro, no, I never had the chance.

- How do you feel about walruses?
- They are pretty scary all things considered. They yell, they have big teeth to sink into your skull if they are unhappy about you, and are fucking huge.

- What is your general life philosophy? You can go into as much detail as you want.
- I don’t think that I want to think about this for an SHL task. Having an existential crisis at 10 AM isn’t worth 6 TPE to me.

- Please finish the following sentence:
“Defense is _______________.”
- Fucking pog.

- What do you value in your team locker room?
- a good LR

- What’s your favorite Pokemon? Why?
- Pokemons are for nerds, you are bad and you should feel bad. (it really wasn’t a thing in my school – the whole stinky euros thing – so I have 0 idea about Pokemon lol)

- What type of player are you looking to build? Are you looking to play a more offensive or defensive role?
- Coming from a DFD I feel like I want to have some points to my name, so mostly offensive. I am not probably going to go full offense 5s across defense kinda guy, but mostly offense.

- Discord Username (full tag, including #numbers): monochroma#3427



- Do you follow any hockey teams outside of the SHL, be they in the NHL or other hockey leagues? A good few - I root for Dinamo Riga (my hometown team) in the KHL, as well as the Latvian NT, in the NHL I just kinda cheer for the teams that have latvian players but I'm considering picking up my Kraken as my "permanent" #1 team


- How many hours a week do you usually have free? (ie. 1, 3, 6+, etc.) I just finished high-school and I'm taking a gap year. So, a lot.



- Is water wet? Water (or any liquid, really) itself is not wet, however it makes other things wet. 



- Locker rooms take place on discord. Do you use it and how often?  If not, would you be willing to try it to be a part of your team’s locker room? I use discord more than I should, probably. I'm definitely gonna be in the LR chatting shit, a good LR is one of the primary things I'm hoping to find in the team that picks me.



- What are your general expectations of your juniors career? Are you looking for a long and successful career as a junior player, or are you hoping to be called up to the big leagues as soon as possible? I'm down to spend a few seasons in the SMJHL, my hope is to win a cup here before I go to the SHL.



- Have you ever heard about Kelowna before joining this league? I actually mentioned this in one of the SMJHL poems that I wrote - nope lmao (in my defense, I live an ocean away)



- How do you feel about walruses? Walruses are fucking awesome



- What is your general life philosophy? You can go into as much detail as you want. Don't be a cunt and just have a good time



- Please finish the following sentence:

“Defense is _______________.” The most important part of hockey



- What do you value in your team locker room? Just... a good bunch of people who I can make friends with, I guess



- What’s your favorite Pokemon? Why? Jolteon, it's been my favorite since I was a little kid. The eeveelutions are cool as hell and I just really like electric types. Second place goes to Chandelure because I love gen 5 


- What type of player are you looking to build? Are you looking to play a more offensive or defensive role? Very defensive, the type of player who pads his teammates statlines instead of boosting his own. Highly focused on shot blocks, hits, just keeping the puck out of the net.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Do you follow any hockey teams outside of the SHL, be they in the NHL or other hockey leagues?

• Pittsburgh Penguins
  

- How many hours a week do you usually have free? (ie. 1, 3, 6+, etc.)

• It's hard to say exactly.  I work from home so I can usually find free time throughout the day on top the time I might usually get in the evenings as a night owl.
  

- Is water wet?

• In liquid form it feels wet.
  

- Locker rooms take place on discord. Do you use it and how often?  If not, would you be willing to try it to be a part of your team’s locker room?

• Discord is open at all times on either my PC or phone.
  

- What are your general expectations of your juniors career? Are you looking for a long and successful career as a junior player, or are you hoping to be called up to the big leagues as soon as possible?

• I expect that it will allow me to understand the routines of a being a player in the league.  I'd like to develop into a successful junior player, and at the same time, prepare for a long and eventful SHL career.  Either way, just want to help my team however I can.
  

- Have you ever heard about Kelowna before joining this league?

• Nope.
  

- How do you feel about walruses?

• An interesting animal with a mustache.  Would not want to be on the receiving end of those tusks.
  

- What is your general life philosophy? You can go into as much detail as you want.

• Not really a philosophy, but I've learned not to overlook the little things in life.  You can't ever get those moments back.  It's always going to seem like work if you don't stop and take it all in once in a while.
  

- Please finish the following sentence:
“Defense is _______________.”

• ...indispensable.  Having a good defense can lead to more (and better) offensive opportunities.
  

- What do you value in your team locker room?

• I would expect everyone to be here for the same reason - fun!  I'd like to see a healthy culture without toxicity.  One filled with acceptance, positivity, and respect.
  

- What’s your favorite Pokemon? Why?

• It was something I never really got into.  I enjoyed collecting sports cards/memorabilia more as a kid.
  

- What type of player are you looking to build? Are you looking to play a more offensive or defensive role?

• An offensive role.  I'm primarily aiming to be a playmaker with exceptional vision and passing that's quick and good with the puck on his stick - always looking to find the open man to create great scoring chances.  I don't want to skimp too much on my shooting abilities so I can put pucks in the net myself and do not want to be a defensive liability (mostly stickchecking to keep the attackers off balance and gain/regain possession), so I'll be looking to improve there occasionally as well.  Not really physical, but strong enough to not be easily knocked off the puck.

- Recreate or First-Gen? First-Gen

- Recreates: Who was your last player?

- First-Gens: How did you find the site? Affiliation with the ISFL, but specifically @SDCore

- Discord Username (full tag, including #numbers): SchwarzNarr#0067

- Do you follow any hockey teams outside of the SHL, be they in the NHL or other hockey leagues? Not really. I'm a very, very lose Red Wings fan, but no big affiliations otherwise.

- How many hours a week do you usually have free? (ie. 1, 3, 6+, etc) A decent chunk. A few hours every day, and coming up in the next week all the hours. School is ending, the summer is here.

- Is water wet? I have a question for you: Fizzy or Flat

- Locker rooms take place on discord. Do you use it and how often?  If not, would you be willing to try it to be a part of your team’s locker room? Hello, yes. This is why I am here. Locker rooms are my favorite part of sim leagues. I am an active avid chattery person.

- What are your general expectations of your juniors career? Are you looking for a long and successful career as a junior player, or are you hoping to be called up to the big leagues as soon as possible? To have as much fun as possible with my team. I'm the biggest team player ever. Whatever my juniors team needs, whatever my majors team needs, just slot me in coach. I want to just chill with good people, my player's career is secondary to all of that.

- Have you ever heard about Kelowna before joining this league? No.

- How do you feel about walruses? They're so cute with their lil' mustaches.

- What is your general life philosophy? You can go into as much detail as you want. Trying to be as positive as possible, even though it's not entirely possible, and believing the good in people as much as I can. I'm not always the best at this, but whenever I can take some time to reflect, it's very clear that most people don't do things out of malice.

- Please finish the following sentence:
“Defense is _______________.” Defense is the foundation to a good team. You can score as many points as you want, but if you aren't stopping theirs either, its moot.

- What do you value in your team locker room? Activity that isn't just focused on hockey, the NHL or the SHL. Obviously talking about the sport that most people are here for is okay (and I'd love to learn more!) but since I don't know a ton about hockey, those are conversations I find myself watching more than participating in. I'm a super active and chatty person, but I have know a little bit about the topic to want to pop in. As long as I can chat away about video games, memes, football, or other non-hockey things, I'll be good. I just want good people around me.

- What’s your favorite Pokemon? Why? SQUIRTLE. Mostly because the Squirtle Squad and his lil' sunglasses make me smile.

- What type of player are you looking to build? Are you looking to play a more offensive or defensive role? Defensive player, but ultimately whatever serves my team best. If they have a ton of heavy defensive guys and need more offensive, then I'll do that. Vice Versa. I am here to help my future team as much as possible, in the best way possible. I'm going to be a max earner, I've already shown how much work I'm willing to put into media, etc to make sure that I've got money to spare, whatever the team needs is what is best for me.

-------------------------------

- Do you follow any hockey teams outside of the SHL, be they in the NHL or other hockey leagues?

I have never watched any form of hockey in my life. Have never paid attention to the sport, am only marginally familiar with a few team names that have been mentioned since joining the league. Dallas Stars? Detroit Redwings? OOH! There is a Lightning team that I remember sounding cool. That is the extent of my hockey knowledge.

- How many hours a week do you usually have free? (ie. 1, 3, 6+, etc.)

I spend around 20-30 hours a week involved with sim leagues if that is more what this question is asking.

- Is water wet?

Not if you're a penguin! Fun fact! penguins are completely waterproof. They have waterproof feathers and even secrete waterproof oil from a special gland in their body. They don't get wet, so could water really be wet? i think not.

- Locker rooms take place on discord. Do you use it and how often?  If not, would you be willing to try it to be a part of your team’s locker room?

I use discord almost all day every day, especially during the work hours in CST. From around 6am-6pm. I also use it some in the afternoons and weekends, but not quite as often as I'm normally busy playing vidja games or hanging with my girlfriend. I'm one of the most active players in discords across the ISFL though and I don't see that changing here.

- What are your general expectations of your juniors career? Are you looking for a long and successful career as a junior player, or are you hoping to be called up to the big leagues as soon as possible?


Honestly I have no goals or objectives for this league. I'm just here to chill and hang out with new people. I don't pay attention to my player in ISFL or SCFSL, two other leagues I'm in. I'm just there for the locker room. My plans for my player is whatever my GMs need it to be. I'm going to be a max earner, but outside of that I'm flexible. I'm willing to play any position, any role, anytime. I picked defensive defender strictly because it is a supportive role that doesn't get the flashy stats, which is perfectly fine with me as I'm not the kind of guy who routinely checks the box scores.

- Have you ever heard about Kelowna before joining this league?

Absolutely not, but I'd also never heard of Yellowknife before I joined the ISFL and came across the Wraiths!

- How do you feel about walruses?

Walruses are pretty chill. They don't interact with penguins often though, so I don't know much about them except they're big blubber balls with giant tusks. May have to research them some later though!

- What is your general life philosophy? You can go into as much detail as you want.

Live, love, eat tacos! Jokes aside, I strive to be as chill as possible. Don't take life too seriously you know? You live and then you die. Don't spend too much of that time angry or you might really miss some of what life has to offer.

- Please finish the following sentence:
“Defense is _______________.”

Defense is excellent at keeping animals in a specific area. That is why there are so many different kinds! You have chicken fence made with mesh wire. You have ranch fence that is usually made of large, strong wooden posts to keep in bigger creatures. You have run of the mill yard fence to keep in dogs. Honestly if this question specified which fence, I might go into more detail, but it just says defense.

- What do you value in your team locker room?

Just a relaxed atmosphere that doesn't take games too seriously and talks about more than just the sim. The sim is cool and all, but that isn't why I am here at all. I'm just here to hang out and if the only time the team talks is when they're upset about a loss, it makes it a bit more difficult to get involved. Shrug off the losses and move on. There is always a next game.

- What’s your favorite Pokemon? Why?

Piplup. Ez. My discord PFP is a penguin, my player is a penguin, I am a..Penguin? Well, not quite. Still, penguins are cool as heck and Piplup is a penguin so he's basically the GOAT. I mean penguin.

- What type of player are you looking to build? Are you looking to play a more offensive or defensive role?



Honestly it is whatever my GM needs. I don't pay attention to my player. I'm going to be a max earner, but what that looks like is whatever helps the team the most. I was told defensive defender isn't popular due to lack of flashy stats, but could be essential to winning. That is my style and I'm cool with that. At the end of the day I'm flexible and even willing to swap positions entirely. I don't take this place too seriously.

- Discord Username (full tag, including #numbers): Connor123#0916

- Do you follow any hockey teams outside of the SHL, be they in the NHL or other hockey leagues?
I don't have a specific team I follow in the NHL yet, but I do like a few teams (Sucker for a cool logo and colour scheme)

- How many hours a week do you usually have free? (ie. 1, 3, 6+, etc.)
Easily 10+ 


- Is water wet?
It isn't it makes everything else around it wet.
- Locker rooms take place on discord. Do you use it and how often?  If not, would you be willing to try it to be a part of your team’s locker room?
I use discord all the time.
- What are your general expectations of your juniors career? Are you looking for a long and successful career as a junior player, or are you hoping to be called up to the big leagues as soon as possible?
A long and successful career in the Juniors would be fantastic, not looking for any immediate call ups especially when I'm in and around my J teams LR and have embedded myself in there.

- Have you ever heard about Kelowna before joining this league?
Nope not at all

- How do you feel about walruses?
Spirit animal
- What is your general life philosophy? You can go into as much detail as you want.
Choose life. (huge props to anyone that gets this reference)

- Please finish the following sentence:
“Defense is the most underrated position in any sport.”

- What do you value in your team locker room?
Great GMs that are in and around the locker room as much as possible, a team that likes to have a laugh and a joke and all round is a great place to be. It's the most important part of any sim league team and keeps everyone around and active.
- What’s your favorite Pokemon? Why?
Machomp, don't know why just thought he looked cool as a kid

- What type of player are you looking to build? Are you looking to play a more offensive or defensive role?

Someone who is solid defensively that the team can rely on to cover their backs at every corner. Adding assists and even the odd goal here and there would be good but not a huge priority.

- Do you follow any hockey teams outside of the SHL, be they in the NHL or other hockey leagues?
Sort of. I like the Lightning. Not easy to follow from England tho.
Also my uh "local" team (Blaze) are alright, but I don't attend games since it's a bit of a trek still.

- How many hours a week do you usually have free? (ie. 1, 3, 6+, etc.)
A few. It depends on my work commitments, which vary.

- Is water wet?
Define "wet"

- Locker rooms take place on discord. Do you use it and how often? If not, would you be willing to try it to be a part of your team’s locker room?
While I'm working from home I'm basically on discord all day. If I have to return to the office, less so.
Most likely I won't be particularly talkative though. Timings generally don't line up well for me, I've noticed.

- What are your general expectations of your juniors career? Are you looking for a long and successful career as a junior player, or are you hoping to be called up to the big leagues as soon as possible?
Not really too worried about it. Just whatever works. Ideally, I want a shot at the hall of fame though so maybe I wanna get into the big leagues quicker. Not sure yet.

- Have you ever heard about Kelowna before joining this league?
No

- How do you feel about walruses?
They're okay

- What is your general life philosophy? You can go into as much detail as you want.
Complicated. Generally, I'm probably the most relaxed angry guy you'll ever meet, though. Friendly neighbourhood angry black guy, if you will.

- Please finish the following sentence: “Defense is _______________.”
paramount

- What do you value in your team locker room?
good company. doesn't have to be particularly active, or have regular activities like games nights or movie night or whatever. just people I get along with and can talk to and joke with.

- What’s your favorite Pokemon? Why?
Luxray. Because it looks badass. It's a literal thundercat, and I grew up in the 80s/90s

- What type of player are you looking to build? Are you looking to play a more offensive or defensive role?
Mostly defensive. I feel like a lot of people don't go for that, so it might set me apart, who knows? I'm open to build suggestions though, I don't know enough about the sport or sim to pretend I know what's best.

If we're counting only the hours I dedicate to the SHL... around 5-10 hours a week o_O'

- Is water wet?
No, water is sticky.

- Locker rooms take place on discord. Do you use it and how often?  If not, would you be willing to try it to be a part of your team’s locker room?
I'm one of the suckers that paid for Nitro. That should tell you everything

- What are your general expectations of your juniors career? Are you looking for a long and successful career as a junior player, or are you hoping to be called up to the big leagues as soon as possible?
Success as a Junior player is not expected, but it would be nice to be somewhere else than the bottom of the league for my entire junior career. I'm expecting to be down for the entirety of my waiver exemption period (3 seasons).

- Have you ever heard about Kelowna before joining this league?
Yes, since I had Geography lessons in 5th grade. Although I do have a better memory than most...

- How do you feel about walruses?
Blubbery tasty treats... wait, sorry, I thought I was still in the CW for some reason.
Walruses are cool. They're like the old timey grandpa of the animal kingdom.

- What is your general life philosophy? You can go into as much detail as you want.
I'm a fairly mellow person, and usually try to make time to help people if I can. I don't have a "general life philosophy" other than "don't be a twat", tbh.

- Please finish the following sentence:
“Defense is _______________.”
The cornerstone of a hockey team.

- What do you value in your team locker room?
I'm an older user, so while I appreciate the memes, I don't want it to be only that. I enjoy losing myself in conversation at times, especially when work days are a bit slower.

- What’s your favorite Pokemon? Why?
I'm gonna date myself here and say Arcanine. Ever since I played Pokemon for the first time when I was 9, I've been dreaming of having a giant fire puppy to travel with / incinerate people with, and Growlithe is a bit too small for me to ride onto, so Arcanine fits the bill perfectly. It's still one of my dreams, and I can't wait on genetics to make progress for my dream to happen IRL.

- What type of player are you looking to build? Are you looking to play a more offensive or defensive role?
Shutdown Defenseman, focused on stick-checking and puck-handling.

- Position: RW

- Recreate or First-Gen? First-Gen

- Recreates: Who was your last player? N/A

- First-Gens: How did you find the site? SDCore

- Discord Username (full tag, including #numbers): Sylphreni#3435

- Do you follow any hockey teams outside of the SHL, be they in the NHL or other hockey leagues? Being from New England,I candidly consider myself a Bruins fan, though I couldn’t name a single player on the team.

- How many hours a week do you usually have free? (ie. 1, 3, 6+, etc.) A lot, and at the same time none at all. Probably more than I should.

- Is water wet? Inherently so.

- Locker rooms take place on discord. Do you use it and how often?  If not, would you be willing to try it to be a part of your team’s locker room? I’m on Discord daily, throughout all hours of the day.

- What are your general expectations of your juniors career? Are you looking for a long and successful career as a junior player, or are you hoping to be called up to the big leagues as soon as possible? I have no real long term plans. Presumably my eventual SHL team will have some desire of when I’m called up or sent down, and I’ll abide by that. 

- Have you ever heard about Kelowna before joining this league? Never. But after doing some Google investigating, I have some questions:

• What’s with the team's logo/mascot? Kelowna is the Okanagan First Nation word for “grizzly bear”. That seems like a slam dunk for a logo idea, instead we got some sort of Greek soldier?
  
• Kelowna was known regionally for some time for the steamships that docked there… has it ever been confirmed that the team plays on a refurbished steamship that has an ice rink in its center?
  

- How do you feel about walruses? I prefer mine done in an Instant Pot, where I find it to be less rubbery and more succulent after about 45 mins on a low setting. Pair with your standard mirepoix, a healthy portion from a bottle of red at least 27 years aged, and fresh herbs and spices (I prefer oregano, thyme, and basil… but creativity is encouraged! Imagine a delicious walrus curry, yum yum.) Speaking from personal experience, Walrus is the ultimate “party pleaser” and is a great conversation starter for casual and fine dining atmospheres.

- What is your general life philosophy? You can go into as much detail as you want. I believe the great American philosopher Curtis James Jackson III said it best when he said: “Get rich or die tryin’” Alternatively, Thurgood Marshall’s suggestion of: “I expect to die at 110, shot by a jealous husband” is equally fitting.

- Please finish the following sentence: “Defense is _______________.” Defense is a moat and four strong walls. Why we as the human experiment ever moved on from the Motte-and-Bailey style defense is beyond me. Consider the amount of success the United Kingdom has seen with the design dating back to the 10th century and ask yourself: At this point are we really just trying to improve upon perfection? If it was good enough for the Normans, then it’s good enough for me.

- What do you value in your team locker room? Activity, and a chill place to hang out. Good people, who do stuff besides just watch the sim.

- What’s your favorite Pokemon? Why? Donphan, because the opening to 1998’s Pokemon: The First Movie is badass.

- What type of player are you looking to build? Are you looking to play a more offensive or defensive role? I’d like to be the most successful hockey player/serial killer in league history when it’s all said and done.
