What's been your favourite moment of your career so far?

When it's all said and done, what would Emiko need to accomplish to make her career a success?

If Emiko could take a vacation anywhere in the world, where would she go?

1) I'll have to answer this in 2 different parts. One as the User and one as the Player.

Emiko: The reason i wanted to join the Blizzard is because they have a really nice logo and jersey and i think i'd look cute in the jersey.
Other than that i have been having lots of different ideas based on the team and that will be seen later on in my pads and mask reveal!
Also some of the old greats from some of my past teams play here and i like playing with them! Lastly Edmonton is a lot colder and due to being from Sapporo it's what i'm used too a cooler climate.

Manto: Ok, so the reason i wanted to come here was due to branding and having lots of friends on the team. I can see a lot of different people from the Colorado Locker Room in here so it felt like a good fit. Another reason is that they needed a goalie and i had been really interested in coming to this place since the S48 draft even started. I hope to be here for many years to come!

2) My favourite moment of my career so far has to be my move to Colorado. It made me enjoy the league again. Everyone there was so nice and i fit in straight away and found my groove with the team. I never won the Cup with them but i did manage to get a good run and another Netminder of the Year award. This is obviously something that would be fun for anyone!

3) Honestly, this is hard to decide. I've never been one to hunt personal or team glory it's nice when it happens but i don't see it as a massive need. I guess having fun till i finish would make me have a successful career as then i'd be sticking it out and making sure i do everything. Overall i'd hope to win a cup but not for my player but to repay the faith Edmonton have put in me!

4) Hmm, I really haven't thought about this. Does going home count as a holiday? I haven't been in years considering i've been living in the States. So i guess a trip back home to Sapporo, Japan would be something i'd love to do but at the same time most of my friends live in the states currently (Etsuko: Montreal, Manto: Providence) so i don't know if there's much reason to go back at the moment. Maybe if all our off-season match it would be a good fit!
