Thank you TML99 for the interview!!

1) What should the expectations be for my rookie season in St. Louis? Also, what are the expectations for the team this upcoming season?

I can say when I started my rookie season in St Louis I had high expectation for what I would do, I really realized that I would have to put in work to get as much tpe as possible in order to see some results in the sim. My advice is to not get discouraged if you are not seeing the results you expect, just keep working hard and it will pay off. In terms of this season I think CRUTCH and I both have some vey high expectation, we have some big guys comping back down and I think our D core is super strong not to mention having Wally between the pipes. We think we can be true contenders this season, and we can't wait for it to get under way!

2) Coming from Germany, what advice could you give me to fit in with the guys in the locker room from different nationalities? Follow up question, what's it like living in St. Louis?

My advice is just be active and create conversations you will find the you will fit in right away we love when guys can bring a new unique aspect to the locker room. I know it's very biased but I think we have one of the best locker rooms in the SMJHL we have tunes bumping in the discord all the time some dope emojis thanks to crutch, and many amazing members always willing to help out or spark up a conversation.

3) How did you personally adjust to the league during your rookie season and is there anything I can learn from your experiences as a rookie?

I sorta touched on this in the first question but really you get a good feel for the league in your first season imo things flew by and I got to know a lot of cool people right away, I was in a massive draft class so I think this helped a lot, i got to learn how the sim worked early on and I adjusted my game and my expectations around that although my performance has never been all that good I try my best.
