VIP Status babyyyyyyyy - your player has been invited to attend one of the first homestands of the CC finals as a VIP guest - all expenses paid, front row seats, any hotel you want - and it's all on the Commissioner's dime! Are you going to Games 1 and 2 in Tampa or Games 3 and 4 in Calgary? Why are you picking there? And what are you going to do in that city to run up Eggy's tab?? (This is the same prompt as last year but we've got different cities! be creative! Don't re-use what was written last season)

After a slow start to the regular season, the Dragons have surged of late and have rallied around the #CalgaWe notion of togetherness. On the other side, the Barracuda battled through a difficult East and are led by a very strong young core. Which team are you personally rooting for to take home the Challenge Cup and why?

This is an easy question for me. I am rooting for the Calgary Dragons. Ever since the dawn of my first day in the SHL, I have been with the Dragons. Esa took me in onto the team and I have never looked back. There have been changes to staff, sure, but the upper heads always know who to pass the baton to. I have had amazing teammates with both Michael Boychuk and Mikael Choybuk, and I expect nothing less in the future. It might seem like Calgary have had it easier in these playoffs, with their sweeps and shorter series', but that just goes to show how strong they are this year. Tampa will put up a fight, but I hope the Calgary Dragons can come through.

As competition ramps up for the playoffs, players (both those still in and those eliminated) work extra hard to improve areas of their game that are lacking. What one area of your game do you really needs to focus on improving and how will this benefit the team?

One thing that needs to improve in my game is consistency. I, Mikael Choybuk have shown that I can score and pass the puck. I know that for sure. But, it has been time and time again since I was a rookie that I struggling to keep up the pace. I need to work hard this off-season to get my game to the next level, and be able to score night in and night out. I want to be that guy for the Calgary Dragons, one you know that you can rely on. I want to be the guy where if I have the puck on a good chance, it will be a for sure goal. I think one of those areas is my strength. Watching the tape, it looks like I get knocked off the puck easier than I thought. I think if I work on that aspect of my game especially, that I will turn a corner into elite status.
