The season 32 SMJHL entry draft is almost upon us and <a href='index.php?showuser=2182' rel='nofollow' alt='profile link' class='user-tagged mgroup-10'>JR95</a>, <a href='index.php?showuser=1730' rel='nofollow' alt='profile link' class='user-tagged mgroup-52'>Durden</a> and I would like to get to know this years rookie class a little better.
Vancouver has been "all in" the last few seasons and quite a few of our veteran players have got the call to join their respective SHL teams. If you plan on being active around the site then there should be ample opportunity for any position or player type.
Do you want to join one of the most storied franchises in SMJHL history? Would you like to help return this franchise to former glory and bring back the Four Star Cup to its rightful home? Do you have what it takes to win? If you answered yes to all three of these then fill out the form at the bottom and let us know!</div>

Have you had any interactions with or do you know any other Whalers on the site?
How many seasons do you see yourself playing in the minors?
If you were a GM, why would you draft yourself above others?

With new management comes new opportunities. Are there any questions you’d like to ask JR95 or myself?
What type of player are you trying to build? TWC Bergeron esque
From 1 to 10, what would you say your current activity level is? Is there anything that might happen in the near future (personal or professional) that would change your activity? 8, will go down for finals week then way back up for month long winter break
Do you plan on being active in the Locker Room once drafted? Guess
Is Vancouver a team you want to play for? Yes
Have you had any interactions with or do you know any other Whalers on the site? Not sure
How many seasons do you see yourself playing in the minors? 2 likely
If you were a GM, why would you draft yourself above others? Because i've done it before and so i'll do it again
What are your goals for your first season? Drive the other rookies in the draft class to be more active. I know i'm going to be successful and having won 4 star cups and been an all star I'd like to it again, but I like to change my goals up and challenging myself to act for the good of the site is something id really like to try.
With new management comes new opportunities. Are there any questions you’d like to ask JR95 or myself? Just want to say i'm glad you brought Durdles on. He's the only one of the big 3 in my first draft class that never got a shot at GM'ing, and I think his time is well past due.
What type of player are you trying to build?
Solid DFD
From 1 to 10, what would you say your current activity level is? Is there anything that might happen in the near future (personal or professional) that would change your activity?
8-9, should stay about the same
Do you plan on being active in the Locker Room once drafted?
Yessum
Is Vancouver a team you want to play for?
Not my top destination, but I'd be happy pretty much anywhere
Have you had any interactions with or do you know any other Whalers on the site?
I'm actually not too familiar with the current team and don't remember who's VAN alumni.
How many seasons do you see yourself playing in the minors?
Depends on where I'm drafted to in the SHL. There are a couple teams likely to call me up immediately, while others wouldn't have room on the roster right away.
If you were a GM, why would you draft yourself above others?
My last player was one of the most successful in league history, I know more about sim mechanics than a good majority of the members on the site, and I'm unlikely to piss in anyone's gatorade.
What are your goals for your first season?
Win a second Four Star Cup in his first full season in the SMJHL
With new management comes new opportunities. Are there any questions you’d like to ask JR95 or myself?
What is the average flight speed of an unladen swallow?
What type of player are you trying to build?
A HELLA hybrid goalie. Looking to stop pucks and drive trucks you know?
From 1 to 10, what would you say your current activity level is? Is there anything that might happen in the near future (personal or professional) that would change your activity?
7-8. Unless something happens in my career I should be fine. The reason I'm back now is because of the stability in my life.
Do you plan on being active in the Locker Room once drafted?
Hella.
Is Vancouver a team you want to play for?
If you want me, of course.
Have you had any interactions with or do you know any other Whalers on the site?
I know plenty of former Whalers. Though I might have to be introduced to a lot of the current roster.
How many seasons do you see yourself playing in the minors?
That's all dependent on whatever team I go to in the SHL, and how quickly they need me. But I'll stay in the SMJHL as long as I can.
If you were a GM, why would you draft yourself above others?
My attitude and commitment to my team, really. I've developed a likable reputation around the league, and I think that's a vital type of person to have in a locker room.
What are your goals for your first season?
Just build myself up and be the best player possible. And if I can help my team win a championship, that's the goal every year.
With new management comes new opportunities. Are there any questions you’d like to ask JR95 or myself?
Not until you call my name on draft day. If you need a goalie, you know where to look.
What type of player are you trying to build?
Two Way Forward
From 1 to 10, what would you say your current activity level is? Is there anything that might happen in the near future (personal or professional) that would change your activity?
My current level is 6/7. Right now I'm in the middle of finals and getting ready for my last semester of college. I may or may not be on as often depending on school work but I always respond to PMs and tags.

Is Vancouver a team you want to play for?
I'm new here so I am really excited to just play wherever!
Have you had any interactions with or do you know any other Whalers on the site?
Other than a potential PTO contract, not that I know of!
How many seasons do you see yourself playing in the minors?
Honestly, however long it takes to get Zina up. I'm unsure for how long, it depends on the SHL draft and who would have space.
If you were a GM, why would you draft yourself above others?
I would draft Zina above others because she is being built to not get lose the puck, to be a true TWF. I also like learning and talking to people.
What are your goals for your first season?
Create the best player I can and bring home some hardware.
With new management comes new opportunities. Are there any questions you’d like to ask JR95 or myself?

What are your current goals beyond bringing back the Cup for the Whalers?[/b]
We would really like to add some active members to the LR and keep the guys we already have happy and updating. The end goal is to win the Cup obviously, but with so many of our top producers moving on to the SHL it may not be realistic for next season. We want this period where we aren't Cup favorites or in the top few teams to be as short as possible.
