Hello this is Kenny Robowski here with Solon local news and we are going to have a sit down with Defenseman Angelo Cerilli. Angelo is a current 1st-2nd round projected pick in the upcoming NWJHL draft.






Kenny Welcome to the show Angelo, you really have seem to get completely off the radar as of lately, which is surprising considering your strong push in beginning of this process could you tell me what you were doing all this time?

Angelo Well I took a small break from hockey to spend some time with my loved ones before the draft, but now I am back and all about getting on a NWJHL team, or maybe I was purposely lowering my draft stock which is correct, i'll let you guys use your imagination.


Kenny Oh oh, very interesting Mr. Cerilli, speaking of that, what team would you like to be on when the draft is done?

Angelo Well as I've always said since this all began, it really does not matter, when this is all said and done, no matter what team I get drafted to, no matter what pick, no matter what team-mates I have out of this current draft, I am going to be a good pick. From day one I will report to training camp and and work on improving myself as a hockey player so I am ready to become an NWJHL starter, or whatever role the team that drafts me has for me.


Kenny Very well said, so it has been annouced that the Impact have traded to move up to the number 4 pick, any ideas whom they plan on selecting with this pick? And what about the Whalers with the 6th pick?

Angelo Honestly I think the impact with pick Brandon Donini with the 4th pick, with that said I have had no prior contact with the impact nor anything other than pure speculation and gut feeling and this one, as for the 6th pick I believe the Whalers will select Emma Watson with this pick, again pure speculation.

Kenny Very Interesting, and what team do you believe will pick you, how far do you plan on dropping? Considering you're one of the top 4 defenseman in this draft?


Angelo I believe I will fall into the 2nd round and get picked by the Firebirds, again pure speculation, if I go in the 1st round it will almost undoubtedly be to the Whalers.


Kenny Why the Whalers if you go in the 1st?

Angelo Honestly, because they have the last pick in the first round *laughs* and there is so much talent in this draft class I don't see myself making a push past any of them, even though I am a solid pick, and am going to be a great defenseman there are a lot of great talent with more experience than me and I'm sure that'll factor hugely into the first round.


Kenny Very well good interview with you Angelo hope you have a wonderful draft day and thanks for being on the show.



Angelo Its been a pleasure as well.
