SMJHL GMs Questions (12 questions):

1. Do you follow any hockey teams outside of the SHL, be they in the NHL or other hockey leagues?

I follow the Dallas Stars in the NHL and may, on occasion this season, go see my hometown NAHL team, the Amarillo Bulls.

2. How many hours a week do you usually have free? (ie. 1, 3, 6+, etc.)

I typically have...I'd say at least 30 a week outside of work and other obligations.

3. Is water wet?

No. Water makes YOU wet when you get it all over yourself. It makes other things wet. It is not wet in and of itself.

4. Locker rooms take place on discord.  Do you use it and how often?  If not, would you be willing to try it to be a part of your team’s locker room?

I use them all the time, every day, talking with people.

5. You can spend 1-5 seasons in juniors. Most elect to spend 3-4, but you may want to spend more time because you actually like juniors, or you might spend less, because you are ambitious and want to make it to the SHL as fast as possible. How long do you think you'll spend in the J?

I think I'll spend 3 seasons in juniors from my experience in seeing how forwards move up, though I may be surprised, depending on my eventual SHL team.

6. Have you ever heard about Kelowna before joining this league?

I had not heard of Kelowna before I joined the SHL in 2018.

7. Do you have any experience with FHM?

Only trying it a couple of times and deciding I wasn't into hockey management games.

8. What is your general life philosophy? You can go into as much detail as you want.

I generally try to do what I would want someone to do for me and look out for others when I do unto them or when what I do will affect them. I don't always adhere to that, and there are plenty of times I could think of where I acted purely in selfish interest or was passive for the same reason. I try to recognize when a moment arises and seize it, though I need to be better at seeing those moments because they are plentiful. I try to learn always and shore up where I'm weakest, even if it's a perpetual struggle.

9. Please finish the following sentence:
“Defense is critical to victory and something everyone has to be part of.”

10. What do you value in your team locker room?

I value players willing to just talk to one another, try to make good company, and roll with whatever the on-ice results give.

11. What do you put on your pizza? Do you order any sides or drinks with it?

I put plenty of meat, maybe some mushrooms, and depending on if I'm feeling spicy that day, jalapenos. I'll typically want Dr Pepper to go with it, especially if it's a big chain pizza like Domino's.

12. What type of player are you looking to build? Are you looking to play a more offensive or defensive role?

I'm looking to build an up-and-down winger. I still want to be able to play defense since that's not mutually exclusive to the goal of putting up points. I'd look to play more offensive in the winger role, but having that defense to fall back on, I would hope, makes the difference.
