Allen had one of the better seasons and playoffs among rookies. Allen finished out the regular season as the Vancouver Whalers' second line right winger, amassing 14 goals and 24 assists. His 38 points during the regular season was good enough for fourth overall among rookies, behind the highly touted Wind, Jesster, and Falk. The Whalers finished the regular season 12-6-2 as the hottest team in the league. Both the Whalers and Allen were able to keep that strong momentum moving into the playoffs. The Whalers came into the playoffs the last seed in the Western Conference, and faced an uphill battle to get to the top. The Whalers beat the Montreal Impact in 6 games and Allen finished the playoffs top 5 in points and goals. His 16 points were good enough for first among rookies, and he also led the league in game winning goals during the playoffs with 3.


Allen sits at the podium to answer questions.

Since his press availability has been limited throughout the regular season and the playoffs, he will now answer any questions you have regarding the pre-season, regular season, playoffs, or the upcoming SHL draft.

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

If Vancouver lost game 6, do you think you would have lost game 7?
No. There is not a doubt in my mind that we would have won game 7 if it had actually come down to it. When we looked at the body of the series, we felt we were almost always in control. We played the first game and it was tightly contested. We had the heat on high during overtime and felt Montreal got the lucky bounce to score the game winning goal. Obviously, we won the second and third game, and we felt that the double OT thriller that was game 4 sort of followed the same narrative as the first game of the series. We felt we were the better team at all times, and if they had tied the series, there was no reason for us to think that they would beat us.

Which team do you think you will be draftee too?
That's a good question. The general consensus seems to be that I'll be a late first - early second round draft pick. That's a pretty big jump from a 28th overall draft pick in the SMJHL draft, so at this point I'll be happy wherever I'm drafted to. I haven't really been too worried about what teams are drafting where, and what each team's needs are. This draft is heavily saturated with top quality talent on the wings, and I feel I've done my part to separate myself with my performances on the ice, and my conduct off of it. Whatever team decides to pick me up should know that I've given 110% since being drafted to the Whalers and I'll be giving 110% for an SHL team as well. I've worked too hard and come too far to not live up to my billing as the steal of the SMJHL draft.

How was the season rough for you?
As a team, we got off to a great start in the pre-season, and felt like we could carry that momentum into the regular season. Despite the struggle that developed early in the regular season we still persevered and stayed together as a pretty strong knit group of guys. We were always chatting and joking around with one another. I think we all knew we'd put it together eventually, and it was just a matter of time before things really started to click for us. Obviously, we turned it around at the right time, and I think the fact that we all faced so much adversity together has really brought us much closer. Individually, I started the season about as piss poor as you can imagine. I wasn't putting up points and producing like I felt that I could. I was bounced around from the third line, to the second line, to the first line, and then back down to the second. Nothing was really clicking until Originsz came along and waved his magic wand over the lines. Something just clicked, and I started to absolutely tear it up out there. I was producing, in both the goal and assist department, and I felt that I was making everyone on the ice around me. I need to shout out to Patrikov Bure and Jack Durden. I developed a chemistry with these two that was absolutely the best I've ever experienced. We all had an innate ability to find each other without even thinking about it. Without these guys I don't think I would've produced as well as I did, and for that, I thank them. It's certainly been a long and arduous journey to the top, but once you get there, you realize how sweet the air actually is.

What does it feel like winning the Four Star Cup in your very first season in the SMJHL?
It's something special that not a lot of players can really say that they've done. Everybody dreams of coming into this position from day one, making an impact, and contributing to your team's success. I can safely say that I've done that. I had a very productive regular season and also had three productive playoff series. To be able to reach the pinnacle of competition at this level and know that you were directly responsible for helping your team get there is the ultimate achievement. There's truly nothing like sharing an experience like that with your excitement. You really touch on every single shade of elation. It's indescribable and I'm hoping we're able to replicate the same results some S25.

Any words for the Montreal Impact?
The Impact were in the same boat as we were coming into the tournament. We were both heavily doubted and expected to lose against some colossally talented teams. We both persevered and prevailed, and came out on top of our respective conferences, seemingly, against all odds. They played a great series, and really had us on our toes for the majority of the series. With the exception of one game, we went to overtime in every game we played. The number of lead changes that occurred during the series were more than I care to remember. God knows I probably aged about 10 years during that series from the emotional duress alone. The Impact are a great organization, and were extremely humble in defeat. They were a great team to play against that gave us a finals series that will surely be remembered for long time. I wish all of them the best and hope that we get the opportunity to meet them again next year in the finals.

Anyone you'd like to be drafted alongside?
Right now, I'd love to see myself drafted with either Hoover or Durden, or, ideally, both. These two guys are absolutely phenomenal in every sense of the term. Hoover is the prototypical teammate. The guy is an absolute beast on the ice. He's got a very well rounded game and is comfortable passing, shooting, playing defense, on the forecheck, on the backcheck, on the power play, on the penalty kill. The guy's a machine. Off the ice, he may be the nicest guy anyone has ever met. His upbeat attitude breeds positivity to the point where it's contagious. Hoover would be a guy I'd love to continue to grow in the league with. Durden is the shit. He's got a bit of a rough outer layer, but once you break through that, he's also very intelligent, level headed, and friendly. Did I mention this dude is an absolute beast in the face-off circle? He's another guy who's great both on the ice and off, and I've been blessed to share a line and a locker room with him during my rookie campaign. Regardless of where we land, I wish both of these guys the best and I'm hoping and praying that we'll be able to share two of the same uniforms instead of the one.

Any teams you are considering above others? Choice destinations?
I'm enjoying the laid back atmosphere of the off-season. I haven't thought too much about which team I would prefer to go to. I'm going into the SHL draft with the same mindset that I went into the SMJHL draft with. I've got no preconceived notions about any of these teams currently, and I'd like to keep it that way. I came into Vancouver not knowing anything about this team, and as time has gone on I've grown to love it and recognize it as home. A team with such a storied history, a perennial winner, that's the place that I wound up at, and I couldn't be happier. I'll go through the draft process the same way I did for the SMJHL and just let all the GM's know that I want to play and I want to be the best player I can for the team and myself. From that point on, the entire draft process is out of my hands, and I want the team's scouting to place me where I should be. I think I'll grow to love where I land, regardless of wherever that may be.

Any players you want to play with in the SHL?
Any of the current Whalers players, including Richard D'Amour. I love all these guys like brothers and I wouldn't mind sharing another locker room as them. I'm also excited at the prospect of meeting new people and developing relationships similar to the ones that I've made in Vancouver. It's an exciting time in the career of a player. You've come to a new place, met a lot of great people, and befriended them. Now you have the opportunity to do all of that again. I know that I am beyond exciting for draft night to come. I want to get it over with so I can move on with my career and start to build new bridges.

Do you feel like winning the four star cup will affect your draft stock?
I'd like to think so, but I'm not entirely sure the criteria that GM's are looking for when they're scouting players for the draft. I feel like contributing in the manner I did, in the biggest games of the SMJHL season, would have to give SHL GM's a level of validation that I'm a proven player, with quality traits, that will translate into success on the ice. I'm a player that will work in the proper system if I'm given the opportunity to do so. Really, all it's going to take is for a team to see that winning the Four Star Cup was not a fluke, and my ability is legitimate. Most of that will fall on me to continue to produce and grow as a player, but that's the easy part. Getting your foot in the door and demonstrating your ability is the hard part, and by being a part of the Four Star Cup winning franchise, I feel I've already done that.
