Profile Page: Captain Spack Jarrow

Quote:1. How interested are you in joining the Dragons? Scale of 1-10. What do you know or like about the current team?

10 out of 10. This is my first go around so I'm like a puppy at a kennel, just happy to be picked. The experience joining this site/league has been great. It has taken me a month to just grasp the SMJHL and some of its history, unfortunately I don't know a lot about the SHL yet. I will definitely be catching up.

Despite the lack of historic knowledge, the Dragons have stood out as I have noticed your dedication though with a lot of twitter and graphic promotions and I love that about your team from a newbie perspective. The logo and jersey designs are also top notch and Spack Jarrow would look sharp as hell in it. I also saw a Picard render on the team and I am a big Next Gen fan.

Quote:2. What kind of player are you looking to build? Are you open to advice to help you achieve personal and team success?

My base is a sort of Bergeron shadow template but I made it without any real knowledge of how the league and sim works. Since it is my first player, I will be looking for advice and guidance. I am more than happy to build my player to fit the teams dynamic. I don't mind switching to center or adjust however it is needed.

Quote:3. What are you looking for in an SHL team and what do you enjoy in a locker room?

I'm just trying to learn the ropes, get comfortable, and just enjoy the Spack Jarrow meme'ing and whatnot. Not in any position to really pick and choose the type of team I want to be on. This is the least stressful league I've been a member of so this is all super chill in comparison to what I am use to.

Locker room wise? It is always nice to see when the conversation goes beyond the league. Members helping one another out with jobs/education/life help. Some members even meeting up in real life is cool to see. So I guess friendliness would be a big plus for me.

Quote:4. What have you enjoyed most so far about the SHL? 

It was a niche I wasn't aware existed that I wish I had found years ago. I was playing in competitive video game leagues when I would have been much happier participating in this type of league. Writing articles, creating graphic and renders of fake teams, an active community.

Quote:5. Do you see yourself always having time for the SHL, is there anything that could negatively effect your activity level over the next year or so? (New Job, School program, travel, etc)

Single. No children. I am a pretty active person in whatever league I am in. Just being a player (and not running teams or the league) is a nice change of pace for me. I will likely be starting a new job in the near future but it won't have any impact on my activity level. It has never been a problem in the past.

Quote:6. What Age group are you in, Under 20? Over 20? Over 30? (No worries if you don't want to reveal this).

WHAT??? How is there no "Over 40?" category? At least give me a "Boomer" option!

I am "Over 30" at 44 years of age who has a knee that feels 85 when it rains. I don't know the Pokemen and the Digimons but the Ninja Turtles are pretty radical.

Quote:7. Have you done any Media, GFX or Podcasts? Feel free to link one for us

I have created a few for this site. Won the s61 all-star logo competition this season. I haven't made a portfolio thread yet but here are a couple of my designs in the recent weekly submissions: https://simulationhockey.com/showthread.php?tid=119321

Quote:8. Please let us know anything else you think would help us evaluate you as a potential future Dragons Superstar!!

1) Spack Jarrow's loyalty knows no limits. Hometown deal for the team that drafts him (am I allowed to say that?). Blind loyalty.
2) Spack Jarrow's goal is to have one of the longest careers in the SHL. For as long as he is wanted. Patrick Marleau's got nothing on Jarrow.
3) Spack Jarrow is future captain material if there has ever been one.

I've created several gaming leagues (a couple that are still running). I have a graphic/web design background and have A LOT of experience at leagues (although this is my first sim league). Feel free to hit me up if you want more details.

Thanks for listening.
