-----
- How many hours a week do you usually have free? (ie. 1, 3, 6+, etc.): 6+ is accurate. Weekends are typically open and my day job is slow.
- Is water wet?: Water itself has the property of creating wetness but that's a nerdge answer so I'm going with yes, steve.
- What do you hope to get from your SMJHL team or what are you looking for in a team?: Good room, a little mentoring with the ins and outs of FHM since I'm an STHS-era guy, activity, and some friends along the way.
- 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'll play four. If you want a guy that'll play four, you bet your ass I'll play four.
- Are you interested in joining a rebuilding team?: Sure--obviously some rings are the goal, but there's just as much to be said for being on a ground-up club.
- Have you ever heard about Kelowna before joining this league?: Like the city? I'm an avid CHL watcher, so absolutely.
- How do you feel about walruses?: Cool animal. Prefer seals.
- What is your favorite hockey memory?: If you don’t have one, feel free to make up something completely fictional. PATRIK STEFAN, YOU SHOULD BE EMBARRASED FOR WHAT YOU JUST DID
- Any hobbies you’ve been into lately?: Nothing new, I play a shitload of video games and listen to a shitload of music. That's 95% of my hobbies.
- What is the best book you have read and why? (Comics included) House of Leaves. Hard to describe the reasons I love the book so much without giving away why it's so fucking cool, but I promise, it's an unbelievable read. Structurally, narratively, linguistically, the thing is the craziest experience I've ever had with maybe any piece of media. If we're counting novella/articles, "just like hamburger, exactly like hamburger" by tim rogers is one of the most impactful pieces of writing I've ever engaged with. I re-read it probably 100 times a year.
- What do you consider the most important part of a fun league experience?: Friends. People you can shoot the shit with, play some games with, that sort. If you don't enjoy who you're surrounded by, why would you stay active?
- What’s your favorite Pokemon? Why?: Mudkip. I just think he's a silly little guy. He makes me happy.
- What type of player are you looking to build? Are you looking to play a more offensive or defensive role? Offensive, for sure. Goal scoring and assist-making are the things I'm most here for. Krüger was a very two-way player, defensive focused defenceman, so I want to score some genos.
- If you were to choose a breed of dog you would most likely be, what would it be and why?: I think my girlfriend would tell you, like, labrador, but I think of myself like a King Charles Spaniel. Long, curly hair, big stupid eyes, and way way way too affectionate.

- How many hours a week do you usually have free? (ie. 1, 3, 6+, etc.) 8
- Is water wet? Water gives wet. Its like how salt gives salty.
- What do you hope to get from your SMJHL team or what are you looking for in a team? I'm looking for a chill and comfortable place. The highest activity is not really needed because I can get lost and miss 15 conversations just by going to the bathroom.
- 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 love the developmental leagues so being down as long as possible is always welcome.
- Are you interested in joining a rebuilding team? Being part of a rebuilding team is never a turn off. You have a chance to pull that team into greatness.
- Have you ever heard about Kelowna before joining this league? I have thanks to chel and my favorite player Leon Draisaitl being an alum from there.
- How do you feel about walruses? They may look like big beefy boys with bushy moustaches but they are dangerous, blood thirsty creatures.
- What is your favorite hockey memory? If you don’t have one, feel free to make up something completely fictional. I went to my first NHL game for my 21st birthday and the Wild won in OT against Tampa which was cool to see.
- Any hobbies you’ve been into lately? I've gotten back into collecting sports cards. I am mostly in on baseball and have a decent collection that means a lot to me.
- What is the best book you have read and why? (Comics included) It's been a hot minute since I have really read books but I am really enjoying the Wings of Fire series so far. It's a childrens chapter book so right at my reading level.
- What do you consider the most important part of a fun league experience? The people you meet are the best part. I have made what I would consider great friends through sim leagues and have even met a few in person.
- What’s your favorite Pokemon? Why? You can't expect me to choose man. It's like picking a favorite child. If I absolutely had to it would be honedge because he is a sword and is cute but also very terrifying if you have read the dex entry.
- What type of player are you looking to build? Are you looking to play a more offensive or defensive role? Defensively responsible center who can kill penalties. Enough said.
- If you were to choose a breed of dog you would most likely be, what would it be and why? It would have to be the border terrier. It was the breed of my family's first dog and he was just the best. They are hearty and stubborn little goobers which fits my vibe.

For sure, more ice time and opportunity can never hurt.

SMJHL GMs Questions (14 questions):
- How many hours a week do you usually have free? (ie. 1, 3, 6+, etc.) Depends on the week, work and family take up some time, but I can always weasel out a few hours to make sure I'm keeping my player up to date!
- Is water wet? It most definitely is.
- What do you hope to get from your SMJHL team or what are you looking for in a team? Winning a Four Star Cup. It is the only thing my last player wasn't able to win. I would really like that beauty icon to add to my other ones.
- 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 I mentioned above, my main goal is to win a Four Star. I want that cup.
- Are you interested in joining a rebuilding team? Depends on where in the rebuild they are. Winning a Cup is my top priority, I wouldn't be opposed to a season of rebuild as long as there was a glimmer of hope we'd be competing for the Four Star sooner than later.
- Have you ever heard about Kelowna before joining this league? I have heard of Kelowna and been there a few times. Does that give me bonus points?
- How do you feel about walruses? I am for walruses.
- What is your favorite hockey memory? If you don’t have one, feel free to make up something completely fictional. I'm a die hard Montreal Canadiens fan, my favourite player was Saku Koivu, him coming back after battling cancer was an amazing experience, one I will never forget.
- Any hobbies you’ve been into lately? Does SHL count?
- What is the best book you have read and why? (Comics included) The Once and Future King is one of my all time favourites. Just love the story, have since I was a little kid. There's just something about that round table.
- What do you consider the most important part of a fun league experience? I've meet a lot of great people in this league. I enjoy that and the sense of being on a team, it's something I didn't know I missed from my younger days.
- What’s your favorite Pokemon? Why? I never got into Pokemon, I'm a bit older than most on the site, so I missed out on the Pokemon phase. But, if I had to, I would chose the blue guy.
- What type of player are you looking to build? Are you looking to play a more offensive or defensive role? Offense, offense, offense. I've done a defender who loved to block shots, now I want a goal scorer.
- If you were to choose a breed of dog you would most likely be, what would it be and why? I'd be a mutt, a solid mix of a few different breeds. Like one of those dogs that you can look at and have no idea what breed they might even be.
RE: S65 SMJHL Interested Prospects Thread - Edgerocks1 - 05-03-2022
Player Name: Edge Rocks
Position: RW
Recreate or First-gen: First-gen
How did you find the site?: A friend in another discord server was talking about their glow-up in SMJHL from their first season, and I thought it sounded cool so I asked for a link.
Full Discord Username: Edgerocks1#0551
How many hours a week do you usually have free?: Too many. I can't really put an exact number on it, but you don't have to worry about me not being active.
Is water wet?: Taking me back to my high school days and weeks of people arguing this. No, water is not wet. Water makes a thing wet.
What do you hope to get from your SMJHL team or what are you looking for in a team?: I am mostly just looking for a fun and helpful locker room, somewhere where I can chill with some cool people and while obviously some success would be welcome, I mostly am just here for the social aspect. I'd rather be in a fun locker room than a successful one if they are mutually exclusive.
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 the the big leagues as soon as possible?: I am hoping to use my first few seasons to learn the ropes and get more involved around the site. I'm not necessarily looking to get called up as quickly as possible, but I also am not really ruling it out. Maybe I'll have a better answer after I get drafted and know more about the league and the people, but for now put me down as 'uncertain'.
Are you interested in joining a rebuilding team? I'm absolutely interested in joining anyone. I don't have a preference on successful vs rebuild, although I like to think that I could help out a rebuilding team.
Have you ever heard about Kelowna before joining this league: Only in the sense that I'm pretty sure there's a Kelowna team in the NHL video games that I played against in Be A Pro.
How do you feel about walruses?: I guess I'm indifferent? I'm much more familiar with sea lions and other ocean animals, and having never met a walrus I can't say they've done anything to make me dislike them.
What is your favorite hockey memory?: I haven't been to enough good hockey games to have a great one that I've attended, but the favorite in my memory is probably the SJ Sharks beating Vegas in that game 7 a few years ago. Knights fans quickly made it very easy to dislike the team, and watching the turnaround of the whole series culminating in that OT winner was a thing of beauty.
Any hobbies you've been into lately?: Way too many, haha. I play video games when I can, I play guitar, I watch pretty much every sport you can think of, I try to read sometimes, there's these things called fake sports that I play in and am active in the communities. I recently got sucked back into collecting baseball cards when I went through my old collection from when I was a kid. I really need to whittle them down, too many things, not enough time.
What is the best book you have read and why?: I have a few that I'd put nearly even right at the top, but for the sake of the question I'll say that I really enjoyed Ready, Player One. It just felt like a book that was made for people like me, and it felt really well written, and all of the references that even though a lot are from before I was born I still get and make me nostalgic. I should go back and read that again soon, it's been a minute.
What do you consider the most important part of a fun league experience?: The people. I can have all the success in the world, but it's pointless if I'm not involved and having fun.
What's your favorite Pokemon? Why?: Piplup, for no reason other than it's the starter I picked in the first Pokemon game I ever fully played. Water starters ftw.
What type of player are you looking to build? Are you looking to play a more offensive or defensive role?: I made my initial build with the intent of being a playmaker, and I feel like I'll probably stick to that, or at least be a more offensive player than anything.
If you were to choose a breed of dog you would most likely be, what would it be and why?: With all the respiratory issues I got genetically handed, probably a bulldog of some sort. I'm also not very familiar with dog breeds, but yeah, probably bulldog.

- What do you hope to get from your SMJHL team or what are you looking for in a team?
A team with a sense of direction is always important. Not to mention a good sense of humour and hilarious discord emojis!
- 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?
My junior careers over the years have been rushed in the past, so this time around I’m hoping to develop more so that when I do make my SHL debut it will be a big performance.
- Are you interested in joining a rebuilding team?
To me, if the GM has a good plan and a good head on their shoulders I’m down to support them. I don’t think anyone likes someone who doesn’t give a proper effort towards their team.
- Have you ever heard about Kelowna before joining this league?
No, but I know a lot about Yugoslavia!

I was at the Toronto Maple Leafs playoff game 3 against Washington. We were down 3-1 ten minutes into the game. Gritty game, but we made a 3-3 comeback and Tyler Bozak scored the OT winner to give the leafs a potential comeback in the series. I ended up being on a major bro casting channel as they had reporters in the area getting the fans live reactions and got calls from a bunch of friends and family because they saw how excited I was. That was one of the best in person hockey games I’ve ever seen. The only one that comes close was the first time I saw McDavid in person… truly a legendary player!
- Any hobbies you’ve been into lately?
I play a lottttt of sports (typically Sunday-Friday every week). Volleyball, hockey and soccer are the big 3. It’s tough sometimes to get to the gym because I need my body ready to play!
- What is the best book you have read and why? (Comics included)
?LSD and the Mind of the Universe: Diamonds from Heaven By: Christopher M. Bache is probably the best book I’ve read. Christopher takes the reader through a VERY personal journey about how LSD helped him understand himself, the world, god, and humanity as a whole. Not to mention the effects LSD had on the communities he was apart of and how he felt more connected to the living world/nature. With any great story there’s ups and downs in his journey (mentally, physically,emotionally), but it really put into perspective how humanity as a whole is potentially just beginning what many would call “The Psychedelic Revolution” as the mental health crisis is already wayyyyyy out of control.
- What do you consider the most important part of a fun league experience?
The feeling that anything can happen with the good group of guys that you’re with. It’s very clear that there is a parity problem and what’s the fun in the league if you know for a FACT that you and your friends are going to lose to the same 4 teams every year not matter how hard you train.
- What’s your favorite Pokemon? Why?
I’m not a huge Pokémon fan, but if I had to pick one I’d say Lucario.
- What type of player are you looking to build? Are you looking to play a more offensive or defensive role?
I am looking to be more of a “possession” role. With speed, puck handling and eventually better hockey IQ, my goal is to help my team maintain control of the puck, doesn’t matter if it’s in the offensive or defensive zone.
- If you were to choose a breed of dog you would most likely be, what would it be and why?
I would be a golden retriever as I am such a positive person (and I feel like they are the most happy dogs)

- How many hours a week do you usually have free? (ie. 1, 3, 6+, etc.)
For SHL, probably like 1-2. I have ten hours a week i spend on ISFL tho and about 1-2 on PBE/SCSFL, plus 3 on WSBL
- Is water wet?
No.
- What do you hope to get from your SMJHL team or what are you looking for in a team?
I don't really care honestly. The only reason I'm recreating is because it's another option to do have a PT share and because I can be the backup goalie for PHI and get some good conversations in the LR. I'd like to play every once in a while but I don't want a starter spot.
- 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'll do whatever philly needs assuming they draft me. If they don't then I'll be asking to stay down as long as possible.
- Are you interested in joining a rebuilding team?
Meh. I don't really care what kind of team I join as long as they have good morale.
- Have you ever heard about Kelowna before joining this league?
I hadn't, no.
- How do you feel about walruses?
They're cheeky fucks that are basically seals with attitudes imo
- What is your favorite hockey memory? If you don’t have one, feel free to make up something completely fictional.
Honestly I don't have one. Maybe my previous player getting drafted as an overager?
- Any hobbies you’ve been into lately?
ISFL, PBE, WSBL, SCSFL. Valorant. Some random other assorted games. And tiktok because i'm on the vine side of it
- What is the best book you have read and why? (Comics included)
The best book i think i have to go House of Hades which is the 4th book in Rick Riordan's Blood of Olympus series, the sequel series to Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Just so many underlying themes that I really enjoy.
- What do you consider the most important part of a fun league experience?
The community and being able to get along with your teammates and enjoy your league experience.
- What’s your favorite Pokemon? Why?
Cinderace, because it's a fire type and I think it has the best final form of the fire types, fight me
- What type of player are you looking to build? Are you looking to play a more offensive or defensive role?
I just want to stop some shots most of the time and occassionally let some through. i don't care about stats, i care about the community
- If you were to choose a breed of dog you would most likely be, what would it be and why?
Uhm, probably a Leonburger. They're uncommon, but beautiful, possessive, and territorial, which is how I imagine I would be if I was a dog and cared about my family.

- How many hours a week do you usually have free? (ie. 1, 3, 6+, etc.) I usually check the site once a day most weeks, so I would say I give about 7 hours a week to the site most weeks.
- Is water wet? Hold on, I'll be right back... it appears to be true.
- What do you hope to get from your SMJHL team or what are you looking for in a team? I have no expectations, I just want to continue to have fun with this run like I had my first go round.
- 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 don't usually think that far ahead, but I did remain in the SMJHL for a few seasons last time to help the Scarecrows win back to back Championships. I guess it depends on where the team is at when that time comes.
- Are you interested in joining a rebuilding team? I am open to joining any team, refusing to go somewhere takes away apart of the fun of joining a sim league. (Although I'm sure everyone wants to join a contender deep down.)
- Have you ever heard about Kelowna before joining this league? I have, but only because of the WHL team.
- How do you feel about walruses? Give them a blue backpack and yellow shorts and then we'll talk.
- What is your favorite hockey memory? If you don’t have one, feel free to make up something completely fictional. 2007, watching the Anaheim Ducks defeat the Sens to win their first Stanley Cup fills me with joy and excitement whenever I rewatch it.
- Any hobbies you’ve been into lately? Nothing much, just watching hockey really.
- What is the best book you have read and why? (Comics included) I'm a pretty big fan of Stephen King and so I would say The Green Mile is pretty high on my list.
- What do you consider the most important part of a fun league experience? The people make the site as fun as it can be. I believe there is nothing more important to the enjoyment than the interaction between the users.
- What’s your favorite Pokemon? Why? Snorlax I've been a fan of pokemon since I first played Pokemon Yellow all those years ago, and while I have always been a fan of Charizard and Tauros, Snorlax was always my go to.
- What type of player are you looking to build? Are you looking to play a more offensive or defensive role? I want to mold my player around my team to help make them a contender, so I will always take suggestions for the GMs. I do plan to have a more offensive player who can still defend when needed.
- If you were to choose a breed of dog you would most likely be, what would it be and why? I guess some type of bulldog. I am big, burly and full of love to share, and enjoy laying around and having a good nap whenever I can.
