What are your weaknesses that you have to work on?
I think its shooting, i pass out after 6 shots. Will you train me?

Do you consider yourself a team player?
Definitely, better team wins then personal wins. of course its great to be a one man show, but its fast become boring.

Ever tried the shocker?
Once i shocked my parents. From a party returned wasted and with tatto of dick on lobe. Luckely, it wasnt a real tattoo. So its more powerfull than electric shocker.

What is your opinion on slashing minors? Is 2 minutes enough or should they be automatically 5min + game miscondouct?
Depends with what you slash and where you slash. If you slash with stick into nuts, then need to see if they cracked? If cracked then probably 5min + eject from game, other way it only 2min. But anyway slashing is dificult question, cause sometimes slashing isnt made with purpose, but sometime its simply clumpsy move.

What is the rudest thing someone has said to you on the ice?
Once coach tried to be rude, he woke up in toilet.....

What teams are you looking at wanting to join?
Right now i dont care, i need to feel the SMJHL ice. So basicly i could play for free. But looks like noone wants me. If we talk about draft, then probably my first choise would be Detroit, cause there almost all Latvian SHL stars has started their carrier. But of course i wont be pussy and ask trade if other teams will draft me.
