Brandon
1. Have you been in any Sim Leagues before? If yes, what kind & how long? (Every sport matters)
SHL and VHL, I've been apart of SHL since S1 but I've been away for the past year or so
2. What is more important to you, winning championships or building a close-knit locker room?
I would much rather be apart of a good group of guys than be on a toxic but good team
3. What sort of player are you aiming to build? (NHL comparable)
A player similar to Alex Tuch or Mark Stone
4. How long do you want to stay in the SMJHL before going up to the SHL? (2-4 seasons is normal)
I want to stay in the SMJHL until my player is fully ready for the SHL, so ideally at least 3 seasons
5. How much of a focus do you have on doing media and/or graphics?
I'll be trying to get enough graphics done for weekly submissions
6. What do you think you can bring to the locker-room/team?
Just a chill laid back attitude, I think I'm an easy guy to get along with so I won't be starting anything in the discord or on the forums
7. Post your favorite hockey-related photo!
8. What are your hobbies/interests outside of hockey? (gaming, other sports, music, etc.).
I do prospect writing for Dobber Prospects and DraftGeek.ca, and then in my free time I like to just chill out and play video games
9. Are you actually interested in playing for the Kelowna Knights?
Yeah, I'm willing to play for any team, I'd be happy to come to Kelowna
10. Anything else you would like us to know?
Along with my writing obligations, I also got engaged back in December, so living with the fiance and having to take care of wedding planning obligations takes away some time
