Bradley Barkov- D

1. Have you been in any Sim Leagues before?  If yes, what kind & how long?  (Every sport matters)

I played Goal Line Blitz for a few months. It is an American Football simulation.

2. What is more important to you, winning championships or building a close-knit locker room?

Close knit group.

3. What sort of player are you aiming to build? (NHL comparable)

I'm a Defenseman who is focused on being able to contribute offensively with smart and quick passes from the point or in the breakout, while also being solid on defense. I would like to eventually work on the scoring, but that is secondary. Want to be the ideal "Quarterback" on the PP. NHL Comp is probably Keith Yandle, but hopefully more consistent on defense.

4. How long do you want to stay in the SMJHL before going up to the SHL? (2-4 seasons is normal)

I think I'll want to make the jump when it feels like I am ready as a player. If that takes all 5 years, then that is fine. I'd be looking for advice for when to take the jump from more senior members, My SMJHL GM, SHL GM's, etc.

5. How much of a focus do you have on doing media and/or graphics?

I have no experience at all with graphics, so i would probably stick to the written stuff. I hope to be active enough to get the most out of it.

6. What do you think you can bring to the locker-room/team?

I'm a pretty down to earth guy. I like getting excited about things, but am not one to overreact. I tend to get along with most people.

7. Post your favorite hockey-related photo!

Recent and also not a picture, but I am a big Florida panthers fan and this video tribute to Jonathan Huberdeau after becoming Franchise points leader gets the emotions flowing. https://twitter.com/FlaPanthers/status/1216545277626241025

8. What are your hobbies/interests outside of hockey? (gaming, other sports, music, etc.).

I play trumpet and am teaching myself guitar. I watch a lot of sports and have a team I follow in almost every major sport.

9. Are you actually interested in playing for the Kelowna Knights?

Not sure why I wouldn't be.

10. Anything else you would like us to know?

1. Have you been in any Sim Leagues before? If yes, what kind & how long? (Every sport matters)
Not SHL, but I played GLB for a while.

2. What is more important to you, winning championships or building a close-knit locker room?
Titles first, but they definitely go hand in hand.

3. What sort of player are you aiming to build? (NHL comparable)
Two way, high athleticism, grinder looking to score goals and not give any up. Don't have a cut and dry comp though.

4. How long do you want to stay in the SMJHL before going up to the SHL? (2-4 seasons is normal)
2-3, more if needed or wanted. I'd rather be a high draft pick and stay for an extra year.

5. How much of a focus do you have on doing media and/or graphics?
Depends on the workload I have in my classes, some weeks I'm all about it, other weeks I'll only be text posting. I love generating content for my Madden CFM though.

6. What do you think you can bring to the locker-room/team?
Good memes, nothing distasteful, and a consistent posting presence to keep people engaged.

Yes, briefly (a few weeks) was in a FM online league.

2. What is more important to you, winning championships or building a close-knit locker room?
I'll say this: a team doesn't win a championship without being a close-knit group! I think they go hand in hand. But of course, I wouldn't want to be a part of a team I didn't enjoy, even if they were successful.
