For now there are two attributes that stand out to me most. One of them is shooting accuracy, where I am already building myself up to be pretty good, at a 17. The other one is speed. I tend to think speed is always a great rating to focus on. Speed just allows you to run around more and do better against your opponents. I think I also have that at a 17. I am not sure if those are the best two, but I think they help the kind of player I want to be. I think through that I can really be a good player that can help my team achieve a decent season. I am not sure how well I can really do as a rookie, as most other players will have better builds simply by having more TPE but I can improve every season hopefully.

As someone who has been in the juniors league my entire career so far and who is looking to be called up to the majors for the first time in the next season, my main focus is on preparation. I want to be ready to play decently well and achieve some smaller goals I have set myself as a rookie. It will not be easy, as I am sure there are other rookies around with even more TPE or who know the league better, but I think I can do alright. Switching engines was a big factor too, so just feeling prepared for being called up is the main focus for me. That also means I have to practice more, get on the ice, skate around, do some shooting. I need to be ready to contribute right away, as I don't want to hurt my team's chances to do well next season. I need to be a good player if I want to help my team. I think I can do that by preparing really well for the season and practice is a major part of that.

I actually love this idea. We only get one planet and I think we need to be able to do our best with it. Playing in neutral areas could also increase the fairness in the finals. I think it would be fun to have a host city similar to the super bowl, the city could do some fun events every day, it will be fun and cool, plus this will really help the planet, it's an idea I really love and appreciate and I love that this was even a suggestion. Really cool idea, for whoever came up with it. I would be in favor of actually doing this IRL too.

2. Manhattan has been rocking a pretty evenly-distributed ice time for forwards (35-33-32) whereas San Francisco is going a bit more top-heavy (40-40-15). Which approach do you think is better for a fierce Challenge Cup series?

Typically I think having a top heavy approach seems best for these type of series. If you are San Francisco, you want your best players to see the most ice time in the finals. And if you can really make an impact there, it could decide the series. I like their approach better. Let your star players win the series for you!

3. The Rage and the Pride have, in my opinion at least, two of the best logos in the entire SHL. Which team's logo do you like more and why?

The Pride have a fantastic logo and in general a great branding. I am a really big fan of it. I do wish they would include the "Pride" factor a bit more, but I understand that is a bit controversial maybe. Still love their logo! I think they seem really approachable as well, the logo helps with that.

5. Would you rather: (a) a chainsaw lesson with JayWhy, (b) a private Gritty meet-and-greet for you and Luke, © an all-you-can-eat grape buffet experience with Grapehead, or (d) an hour session where DaftRaincloud shows you everything from his internet history?

People love grapes! I mean, seriously. Who doesn't love a good grape. It's delicious and tasty. So obviously I would love an all I can eat grape buffet experience. It's not even a question. I feel like if I was hungry, I could eat a ton of grapes. Yum. I kind of want to get some grapes now actually!
