RE: S55 Interested Prospect Thread - Kyamprac - 07-11-2020
1. Have you been in any Sim Leagues before? If yes, what kind & how long? (Every sport matters)
Yes, but I'm still fairly new to them. Joined NSFL a couple of months ago.
2. What is more important to you, winning championships or building a close-knit locker room?
Think having a good locker room environment is what really makes the game fun, but winning is a definite bonus.

Two-way defense, but willing to change it up to whatever the team needs most.
4. How long do you want to stay in the SMJHL before going up to the SHL? (2-4 seasons is normal)
Kind of indifferent, still getting to know the league and don't mind staying down as long as necessary.
5. How much of a focus do you have on doing media and/or graphics?
More interested in graphics but will try to do both from time to time to keep something in the bank account.
6. What do you think you can bring to the locker-room/team?
Pretty chill person who gets along with others, try to support my teammates and do what I can to help out.
7. Post your favorite hockey-related photo!
I was lucky enough to get cheap tickets to this game before Smytty announced his retirement (he's one of my fav Oilers players), so this one's just a neat memory.

RE: S55 Interested Prospect Thread - Pythonic - 07-11-2020
1. Have you been in any Sim Leagues before? If yes, what kind & how long? (Every sport matters)
If Hockey Dynasty counts as a sim league, then yes. I've been with it for about a month and a half now.
2. What is more important to you, winning championships or building a close-knit locker room?
As much as I'd love to win championships, I'd probably enjoy making connections in the locker room more.
3. What sort of player are you aiming to build? (NHL comparable)
Speedy sniper type, along the lines of Tarasenko and Marchand.
4. How long do you want to stay in the SMJHL before going up to the SHL? (2-4 seasons is normal)
Preferably about two seasons. If it's possible to make it up in just one season, then I might just try going for that.
5. How much of a focus do you have on doing media and/or graphics?
I'd probably be far better at writing media articles and such.
6. What do you think you can bring to the locker-room/team?
A down-to-ground kind of personality, along with a guy for a drive for success in the future.

You don't combine the sweet flavor of pineapple with the cheesiness and sauciness of a pizza. It just doesn't work.

RE: S55 Interested Prospect Thread - Mooney - 07-12-2020
1. Have you been in any Sim Leagues before? If yes, what kind & how long? (Every sport matters) NSFL for 5 months? (Time flies)

6. What do you think you can bring to the locker-room/team? I'm chill and friendly and like hanging out in my LR's. I hope to be active and help my team win.

11. I like pineapple on pizza. Change my mind.
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are the one true authority on pizza and they say pineapple shouldn't go on pizza. Who are you to oppose the Turtles?

RE: S55 Interested Prospect Thread - jRuutu - 07-13-2020
1. Have you been in any Sim Leagues before? If yes, what kind & how long? (Every sport matters)
I have, joined this place years ago and now going into my third player. Also, I have built quite a few players in other leagues like VHL and SBA to name few.
2. What is more important to you, winning championships or building a close-knit locker room?
Championships if we are talking about in general.
3. What sort of player are you aiming to build? (NHL comparable)
2010 - 2011 Ryan Kesler, I want to score goals and be an annoying player to play against, aggression and crashing the net non stop.
4. How long do you want to stay in the SMJHL before going up to the SHL? (2-4 seasons is normal)
I don´t know, 2 sounds most likely, but it depends on what the SHL team looks like and where I´m at as a player then. Can I get at least third line minutes, if not then I might stay for longer.
5. How much of a focus do you have on doing media and/or graphics?
Not much, going to write here and there, but nothing massive to earn equipment money for example. When a idea comes to mind I might write.
6. What do you think you can bring to the locker-room/team?
Maybe some simulation league experience in general and humorous commentary.

RE: S55 Interested Prospect Thread - ckroyal92 - 07-13-2020
1. Have you been in any Sim Leagues before? If yes, what kind & how long? (Every sport matters)
Started here in SHL almost 4 years ago. Since then, I've been in SBA, SFC, SCOR, ISFL, PBE, GOMHL, SLL & GRSL (I think that's all of em).
2. What is more important to you, winning championships or building a close-knit locker room?
In my experience, they feed off of each other. If you're winning, people stay more engaged. If everyone's active, they'll grow into a competitive unit.
3. What sort of player are you aiming to build? (NHL comparable)
Petrovs have no equal. I wanna go fast!
4. How long do you want to stay in the SMJHL before going up to the SHL? (2-4 seasons is normal)
Played here for 3 seasons my first time around, so I'm expecting about the same.

I'm not a big writer, but I dabble in some graphics, even if people like engi & Wasty make my stuff look like hot garbage.
6. What do you think you can bring to the locker-room/team?
Experience

My first player is already in your Ring of Honor, so yeah I suppose you could say that.
10. Anything else you would like us to know?
